Comfortable apartments, detached villas and a lifestyle defined by golf, tranquillity and Almería’s climate explain why more and more Spanish and international visitors are considering something more than a getaway.
There are places you travel to and others that, almost without realising it, end up becoming a home. Desert Springs belongs to that second category. The first visit is usually centred on golf: experiencing the course, enjoying a different few days and discovering one of the most unique settings on the Spanish scene. Then come the repeat visits, slightly longer stays and that feeling of familiarity that leads some enthusiasts to ask the inevitable question: What if I could have my own home here?
It is a fairly natural progression. Someone who spends a few days at Desert Springs does not find only a golf course, but a genuine oasis of tranquillity. They discover a way to organise their time around what they truly enjoy: a round in the morning, a leisurely lunch, an afternoon of unwinding and the opportunity to repeat the plan year-round thanks to Almería’s climate.
That lifestyle is, precisely, one of the resort’s main attractions. The tranquillity, security and international atmosphere create an environment in which it is easy to switch off. You can arrive to play golf and end up appreciating many other elements: privacy, the expansiveness of the surroundings, living alongside owners and visitors of different nationalities, or the ease of combining sport, relaxation and social life.
For that reason, Desert Springs has also become an option for those looking for a second home, making it a very attractive destination even for those who do not play golf or are thinking of starting. The resort offers different alternatives, suited both to those who want a practical home for frequent getaways and to those considering longer stays in the area. It is also ideal for those who can enjoy periods of remote working.
The apartments cater to a very specific profile: owners seeking comfort, a home that is easy to maintain and the ability to arrive and start enjoying straight away. They are an especially attractive solution for couples and families who want to have their own space without taking on the demands of a larger house.
For those who choose this option, Desert Springs also has a new apartment launch, Solara, with large terraces and gardens, lift, storage room, parking space and buggy space, as well as a gym and communal pool.
The detached villas, meanwhile, offer a different experience. More space, greater privacy and areas designed to turn Desert Springs into a true second home. Many also feature private pools, large gardens and views over the golf course. With options available from €465,000, they are ideal for those who wish to extend their stays, entertain family and friends or establish a regular base from which to enjoy the resort and everything its surroundings offer.
The decision to buy a property in a tourist destination like Almería, however, does not depend solely on the dwelling. It also has a lot to do with how easy it is to maintain when the owner is not there. In this regard, Desert Springs provides services designed to make day-to-day life easier: gardening, maintenance, incident response and various solutions to keep the house cared for throughout the year.
Added to this is the possibility of including the property in a rental programme during periods when it is not used. For some owners, this formula allows them to combine personal enjoyment of the home with the option of generating income when it remains vacant. The property thus stops being only a place to return to and can be integrated into more flexible management, adapted to each family’s calendar and needs.
Golf can be the common thread. Having a home a few minutes from the first tee completely changes the experience. It is no longer necessary to plan each visit as a conventional holiday. You can travel for a few days, make the most of a free week or extend a stay without travel depending exclusively on a one-off booking. The resort becomes part of the routine, a chosen and sought-after routine.
The location helps too. Desert Springs allows you to combine life within the resort with proximity to Almería’s beaches, local gastronomy, the area’s restaurants and other activities away from the course. That variety is particularly important when the home is enjoyed with family or during extended periods. Not every day has to start with a round of golf, although for many it is hard to resist.
Perhaps that is where the real difference lies between visiting Desert Springs and living it. A holiday has a departure date. A second home allows you to return in a different frame of mind, without the sense of discovering the place from scratch. The routes are known, the pace feels familiar and the course ceases to be merely a route you have played to become, in a way, your home course.
The decision to settle in Desert Springs is born during a round of golf, in a conversation afterwards or while enjoying an especially peaceful afternoon. First comes the desire to return. Then, the possibility of staying a little longer. And, finally, the idea of having your own space.
Desert Springs remains a golf destination. But for those who know it, it becomes something more: the place you not only travel to, but the place you return to and step through the front door.
