La Cala Resort is a golf complex located on the Costa del Sol in the municipality of Mijas, Spain. The resort is home to three 18-hole golf courses (Campo América, Campo Asia and Campo Europa), a six-hole Par 3 'pitch & putt' course and a golf academy, La Cala Golf Academy. It also has a four-star hotel, La Cala Hotel, a Spa La Cala Spa and real estate La Cala Real Estate.
The three 18-hole courses were designed by Cabell B. Robinson and feature different level of difficulty. Both the hotel and the other facilities are in a traditional Andalusian style. The resort was inaugurated in 1989.
The complex has staged numerous important competitions such as the Ladies European Tour qualifying school and the Spanish Pairs final, won by Miguel Ángel Jiménez and Andrés Jiménez.
In July 2007 La Cala set a Guinness World Record for the largest number of golfers to compete in a one-day event in a resort, when 614 people played in a competition held to raise funds for UNICEF.
The football facilities at La Cala Resort are popular with a number of top professional club sides. During the 2008–09 season the resort was used as a training base by top clubs from eight countries, including: Sunderland AFC, Reading FC and Peterborough United (England), Sevilla Atlético (Spain), FC Dynamo Moscow (Russia), Borussia Mönchengladbach (Germany), BSC Young Boys (Switzerland), Heracles Almelo (the Netherlands), Bohemian (Ireland) and FC Fyn Odense (Denmark). The resort also welcomed the England U-21 squad ahead of the 2009 European Championships and Porto FC (Portugal) and Atlante FC (Mexico), who played in the 2009 Peace Cup.
