Discreet and exclusive

Immerse yourself in the charm of our authentic Spanish Finca,  situated in the serene heart of the ranch. This exclusive hideaway is perfect for a large family or two families travelling together, offering accommodation for up to eight guests in comfortable en-suite bedrooms. The Finca features a private pool and a stunning dining terrace, elegantly set within the gardens. Additionally, guests have the option to book the Finca guesthouse on a bed-and-breakfast basis.

Professional run for your family

We know that, just like skiing, almost everyone who tries polo falls in love with it. There is something appealing for everyone in the family, whether it be the riding, hitting the ball accurately, playing in a team, the speed and adrenaline, the competitiveness (which comes later), or the social scene around the game. It is a phenomenal sport for so many reasons that we know our clients will enjoy, especially our five-star surroundings.

Our Learn Together programme is always run by experienced and professional instructors in a safe and controlled environment. It is very hands-on to give you the best start to riding and to play polo on the first day. Our ponies are well-trained and hand-selected for the individual. We can supply all the kit, but in some cases, children may need to wear their own shoes due to size and comfort.

“We were greeted with what I can only describe as an Argentinian oasis. The polo fields, stables and friendly staff just wiped away the fear I had of entertaining my entire family for a week. I decided to take a step back and let the unbelievably professional staff take over and encourage the children to get involved. The incredibly well looked after polo ponies were so calm and patient, we had a fantastic experience and the children are desperate to return.”

“Having never ridden before, let alone attempt to play polo, this was always going to be a memorable experience and the team have exceeded our expectations all around. Wow! Thank you all so much for helping to make special memories for our family. I for one may now have caught the bug.”

“Thank you so much for the wonderful week at Polo Valley. We have all learned so much in a short space of time and it was exactly what we all needed as a family, rest, relaxation and riding the most wonderful ponies and of course, amazing food. The guest house is so comfortable, the kindness and help from the Powder Byrne and Polo Valley team to us as a bunch of novices has been fabolous. We loved everyone in the Polo Valley family. See you in October!”
