Hotel Envia Almería Spa & Golf

Set within the Urbanización La Envía Golf development on the southeastern coast of Spain, near Almería, this five-star property is built around two things: golf and wellness. It sits directly beside a golf course, and its spa operation is substantial enough to be a destination in its own right — with an indoor pool, steam room, Turkish bath, massage treatments, body wraps, facial therapies, and a dedicated relaxation lounge. With a rating of 8.6 across more than three thousand reviews, it performs consistently for a resort of this scale and ambition.

The guest profile here is fairly specific. This is not a city hotel for someone passing through Almería on business. It draws golfers who want to walk off the course and into a spa, couples treating a long weekend as a genuine retreat, and families who need the practical buffer of kids' meals, family rooms, and enough space that everyone can find their own rhythm. The surrounding urbanización is residential and spread out, which makes the on-site restaurant, bar, snack bar, and coffee house more than conveniences — they are the default options for most meals, and the kitchen's ability to prepare packed lunches means golfers and hikers can head out without losing time.

Guests can check in from 14:00, which for those arriving after a morning flight into Almería leaves a clean window to settle before an afternoon round or a first session in the spa. Checkout at 12:00 is generous enough to allow a morning swim or a final treatment before the drive back. The on-site car rental desk is a practical detail that matters here, given the hotel's location outside the city center — arriving without a car and leaving with one is a straightforward option.
