El Paraíso: Golf, Pádel and Landscapes

Golf shapes part of El Paraíso’s travel profile. El Paraíso Golf Club has 18 holes and was designed by Gary Player in 1973. If golf is to influence your stay, the course design and landscape offer concrete points to consider when planning your trip. There are also the sports facilities at RozaRossa, the wildlife around the golf club’s lakes, restaurants and a circular route.

Golf Course and Landscape

The 18 holes run through the Valle del Paraíso between La Concha and the Mediterranean Sea. The Golf Club is located at Urb. El Paraiso, Ctra de Cádiz, km 167, Estepona, Málaga, Spain. Its fairways are wide and easy to walk; palm trees, pines, oleanders and olive trees line them. Meandering streams and two lakes add to the course. Both the design of the golf course and its landscape are therefore among the destination’s distinctive features.

The lakes at El Paraíso Golf Club are home to ducks and swans, as well as turtles and carp. The golf course provides a habitat for numerous wildlife species; birds found on the course may include hoopoes and sparrows. For those interested in observing nature, this offers another side of the course alongside golf—though there is no guarantee that you will see any particular animals during a visit.

Pádel and Tennis at RozaRossa

RozaRossa has two professional Pádel courts and qualified Pádel coaches. Its tennis facilities include nine courts and tennis coaches. At RozaRossa, you can reserve courts, book coaching sessions or join groups. Availability and schedules may change; check the details before planning your days around them.

Restaurants and Clubhouse

The El Paraíso Golf Club clubhouse includes a pro shop, a restaurant and changing facilities. The club restaurant is open to members, green-fee players and the general public. Check the current operating arrangements before visiting.

At El Paraíso Restaurante & Country Club, you can dine in a setting with extensive gardens, a swimming pool and terraces. Check access and the current availability of these facilities in advance. This is a different kind of information for planning a restaurant visit from the details about the clubhouse and the facilities mentioned there.

Golf Groups and Circular Route

During the 2025/2026 programme year, Estepona’s municipal sports schools offered nine golf groups in El Paraíso. This figure applies only to that specific programme period. Schedules and enrolment may change; if you are looking for a current course, check the offer currently in effect.

A user-contributed route description, published in October 2025, names the circular route “Playa del Sol Villacana y Playa Del Saladillo desde El Paraíso”. It lists a distance of 6.59 kilometres, an ascent of 16 metres and a moderate technical difficulty level. Check current conditions and access before setting out. This lets you assess the route based on its published details without treating them as a guarantee of current conditions.

Consider which of these activities you actually want to shape your stay, and take the relevant time and access requirements into account when planning.
