In a bid to enhance the competitiveness and appeal of the Maspalomas Golf Course, the Urban Planning Department of the San Bartolomé de Tirajana City Council has put forth a significant redevelopment plan. The proposal, which is set to be discussed at the council meeting today (Thursday), includes the construction of a new hotel and 19 residential villas as part of the Strategic Environmental Assessment of the Urban Action Program (PAMU).
The PAMU aims to reclassify the existing site, providing comprehensive improvements in accessibility, infrastructure, and services available, including the golf course itself, which to be fair, needs it. This initiative is expected to significantly boost the area's tourism appeal, especially to golfers.
- A new two-story hotel will be constructed on a 76,000 square metre plot. This relocation and reorganisation of the hotel area, previously outlined in the General Plan, promises better utilisation of the site.
- The project also includes enhancing the clubhouse services, ensuring visitors enjoy a more cohesive and luxurious experience.
- The road network will undergo extensive renovations, including the installation of pavements and energy-efficient LED lighting.
- New roundabouts will be built to improve traffic flow and accessibility within the area.
- The development of 19 single-story residential villas on a 25,700 square meter plot is planned. These villas are designed to blend seamlessly into the landscape, minimising visual impact while generating revenue to fund further upgrades.
- The current 7,800 square metre commercial plot will be repurposed for hotel use and expanded to 19,300 square meters.
- Two sports areas totalling 26,000 square metres will be transformed into a commercial sports complex, and expanded to nearly 29,000 square metres, to diversify the area's tertiary use offerings.
- New urban parks and green spaces will be created, enhancing the overall environment.
- The golf course facilities will be reorganised within the existing perimeter to improve their functionality.
According to Davinia Ramírez, the Councillor for Urban Planning, the redevelopment will result in a comprehensive modernisation of the area without any cost to the municipal budget. She highlighted the positive impact this will have on the area's competitiveness for tourists, making it a more attractive destination.
The ambitious PAMU project underlines San Bartolomé de Tirajana's commitment to enhancing local infrastructure and promoting sustainable tourism growth. With these planned developments, the Maspalomas Golf Course is set to become a premier destination for both golfers and tourists seeking high-quality accommodation and recreational facilities.
