How to Experience the Ultimate Luxury Golf Holiday in Spain

There’s something magical about teeing off in Scotland — where the sport was born and still reigns supreme. Rolling dunes whisper tales of ancient games, sea breezes carry the scent of salt and heather, and every course feels like a chapter of golf’s grand story. Yet for the discerning traveller, Scotland offers more than legendary fairways. It promises the perfect blend of world-class golf and refined indulgence — Luxury Golf Holidays that pair storied greens with Michelin-starred dining, spa sanctuaries, and bespoke service.

Whether you dream of sinking a birdie on the Old Course at St Andrews, playing through dramatic coastal winds at Trump Turnberry, or retreating to a private manor surrounded by emerald hills, your Scottish golf escape can be as unique as your swing.

So, where should you go to experience the finest Luxury Golf Holidays Spain has to offer? Let’s explore the destinations where lush greens meet lavish living.

Marbella – The Glamorous Heart of Spanish Golf

Marbella remains the crown jewel of Luxury Golf Holidays in Spain, drawing elite golfers and discerning travellers alike. This sun-kissed corner of the Costa del Sol, fondly known as the “Costa del Golf,” boasts over 70 courses within easy reach—each sculpted to perfection between the Mediterranean and the Sierra Blanca mountains. Discover more about the region’s golf heritage and championship pedigree at Andalucia.com’s Golf Guide.

Play: Finca Cortesín – Where Prestige Meets Perfection

Home to the 2023 Solheim Cup, Finca Cortesín is more than a golf course—it’s a statement of excellence. Designed by Cabell B. Robinson, its immaculate fairways weave through olive groves and rolling Andalusian hills, offering breathtaking views with every shot. The course challenges professionals and delights amateurs with its balance of precision and playability.

After a day on the greens, unwind at the Finca Cortesín Hotel, an all-suite sanctuary inspired by traditional Andalusian architecture. Expect whitewashed courtyards, marble baths, and private gardens scented with jasmine. The spa’s Thai inspired massages and thermal suites restore both muscles and mind before a candlelit dinner at REI by Finca Cortesín, the resort’s Michelin-starred Japanese-Mediterranean restaurant.

Stay: Marbella Club Hotel, Golf Resort & Spa

Originally a private residence for Prince Alfonso von Hohenlohe, the Marbella Club Hotel remains a symbol of discreet glamour. Guests enjoy complimentary access to the resort’s own 18-hole course in the hills of Benahavís, designed by Dave Thomas. Between rounds, sip sangria by the beach club, indulge in marine-based Thalasso therapies, or join a sommelier-led wine tasting.

This is where old-world charm meets effortless modernity—every detail curated for those who appreciate understated luxury.

Mallorca – Island Luxury on the Greens

For golfers who crave a more tranquil yet equally indulgent escape, Mallorca redefines Luxury Golf Holidays with Mediterranean grace. The island’s rolling hills, sea-view fairways, and fine-dining culture create a setting where every drive feels cinematic. Here, golf is not just a sport—it’s a lifestyle woven into island elegance.

Play: Son Gual Golf – A Masterpiece of Design

Located just outside Palma, Son Gual Golf is often hailed as the Augusta of Europe. Designed by Thomas Himmel, the course’s manicured greens, cascading water features, and vineyard surroundings elevate it to a work of art. Wide fairways and dramatic bunkers make it both strategic and scenic, challenging seasoned players while rewarding finesse.

After your round, the terrace restaurant offers panoramic views and a wine list celebrating local Mallorcan producers. There’s no rush here—just slow luxury in the sunshine.

“Golf at Son Gual feels timeless—a blend of precision and peace that captures the soul of Mallorca itself.”

Looking to combine golf with gourmet discovery? Awake & Wander can curate a bespoke itinerary pairing Son Gual with vineyard tastings, yacht charters, and Michelin-starred dining.

Stay: Cap Vermell Grand Hotel – The Island’s Hidden Gem

Set in the serene Canyamel Valley, the Cap Vermell Grand Hotel blends contemporary design with Mallorcan soul. Overlooking the rolling greens of Canyamel Golf—another local favourite—the resort immerses guests in effortless tranquillity. Rooms are spacious sanctuaries of soft linens, limestone, and sunlight.

Guests enjoy privileged access to Canyamel Golf, a Robert Trent Jones II course famed for its ocean views and impeccable conditioning. After your game, unwind at the Serenitas Spa, where quartz sand massages and locally infused oils melt away every trace of tension.

Dinner at VORO, the hotel’s two-Michelin-star restaurant by chef Álvaro Salazar, transforms local ingredients into culinary poetry—an unmissable highlight of any luxury golf holiday in Spain.

Beyond the Fairways: Discover Mallorca’s Timeless Charm

No Luxury Golf Holiday in Mallorca is complete without time off the course. Wander Palma’s cobbled lanes and boutique stores, cruise the turquoise coves of Cala Figuera, or explore the UNESCO-listed Tramuntana Mountains. Golf here becomes part of a larger island rhythm—relaxed, radiant, and unforgettable.

Costa Brava – Golf, Gastronomy & Mediterranean Drama

When you picture Luxury Golf Holidays in Spain, the Costa Brava might surprise you. North of Barcelona, this region’s rugged cliffs and medieval villages create a breathtaking backdrop for golf. With its proximity to both the Pyrenees and the Mediterranean, it offers year-round playability and a refined, cultured atmosphere that blends nature, art, and cuisine in equal measure.

Play: PGA Catalunya Golf Resort – Europe’s Elite Playground

Regularly ranked among Europe’s top ten golf destinations, PGA Catalunya Golf Resort (now Camiral Golf & Wellness) is the Costa Brava’s crown jewel. Its two courses—the Stadium and Tour—offer contrasting challenges: the Stadium Course is a championship layout demanding precision, while the Tour Course is gentler but no less scenic.

The experience is elevated by impeccable service, high-tech buggies, and tranquil views of pine forests and distant peaks. After your round, the resort’s Wellness Centre invites you to rebalance body and mind with cryotherapy sessions, hydrotherapy circuits, and vineyard-infused treatments.

“Golf here isn’t just a sport—it’s a state of serene sophistication surrounded by Catalonia’s natural beauty.”

If you’re planning a group golf escape or couples’ retreat, Awake & Wander can tailor your stay at Camiral with exclusive upgrades, private transfers, and dining reservations—all designed around you. Prefer beaches to bunkers? Read our curated guide to The Top Luxury Beach Resorts.

Stay: Hotel Camiral at PGA Catalunya – Sleek, Sustainable Luxury

Hotel Camiral embodies the spirit of contemporary Spanish luxury. Minimalist yet warm, the interiors showcase natural materials and Catalan craftsmanship. Suites open onto sweeping views of the course and Montseny mountains, and each morning begins with locally sourced breakfasts and soft Mediterranean light.

Guests can enjoy private wine tastings, cycling tours through nearby vineyards, or chef-led cooking classes that highlight the region’s rich gastronomy. In the evening, dine at 1477 Restaurant, where Mediterranean flavours meet creative flair.

Want to combine golf with gourmet exploration? Awake & Wander can add reservations at nearby Michelin-starred restaurants like El Celler de Can Roca—just 20 minutes away.

Beyond the Fairway: The Art of Catalonia

Costa Brava’s cultural richness adds an extra layer to your Luxury Golf Holiday. Visit the Salvador Dalí Theatre-Museum in Figueres, explore coastal towns like Cadaqués, or stroll Girona’s ancient walls at sunset. Between rounds, you can sail the coves, taste Empordà wines, or simply savour long lunches overlooking the sea.

Our travel designers can arrange art-and-golf itineraries combining Catalonia’s creative heritage with your favourite fairways—crafted entirely around you.
