Hacienda Riquelme Golf Resort is a four-star resort hotel set within the Hacienda Riquelme residential urbanisation near Sucina, in the Campo de Cartagena district of the Murcia region, approximately 15 kilometres inland from the Mar Menor and 35 kilometres from Murcia city. The resort is built around an 18-hole golf course designed by Jack Nicklaus that exploits the gently rolling inland terrain of the area, with fairways framed by citrus groves, Mediterranean scrub, and wide views across the Murcian landscape. The property attracts a strong following among golf tourism visitors from northern Europe, particularly from the United Kingdom, Ireland, Germany, and Scandinavia, drawn by the combination of a premium course design, a warm climate that permits year-round golf, and rates that compare favourably with similar resort destinations on the Costa del Sol or the Algarve.
Accommodation is offered in garden-view rooms, pool-view rooms, and suites, all designed in an Andalusian-influenced hacienda style with terracotta tiling, whitewashed walls, and timber details. Free Wi-Fi and air conditioning are standard. An outdoor pool and poolside bar serve as the social hub of the resort during the warmer months, with terrace views across the golf course providing a pleasant setting for late afternoons. The spa facility provides a menu of massages, facials, and body treatments and is popular among non-golfing partners during golf-focused holidays. A fitness centre and sauna complement the spa. The resort restaurant serves a menu combining international options with Murcian regional dishes, and the bar functions as an evening gathering point for golfers after play. Tee times and golf packages can be arranged through the hotel's golf concierge service. The resort is largely self-contained, with its own shops, services, and transport to the wider area. The nearest Mar Menor beaches are approximately 15 minutes by car at Los Nietos.
