Camiral Golf & Wellness, Caldes de Malavella, Spain

Mist lifts off the rolling fairways as the sun warms the Catalonian countryside.

This is where the natural world and refined living find a quiet harmony.

What Makes It Special

• Set within one of Europe’s top golf destinations—PGA Catalunya—surrounded by 500 hectares of unspoiled countryside.
• A world-class wellness center offering everything from cryotherapy to chromotherapy.
• Family-friendly, yet peaceful enough for romantic escapes or solo wellness retreats.
• Infinity pool and spa treatments with panoramic views of green hills and oak forests.
• Seasonal Catalan cuisine and curated local wine tastings on-site.

A Day at Camiral Golf & Wellness

Morning
Wake to the distant coo of doves and golden sunlight slipping through sheer curtains. A walk through dew-dusted gardens leads to the breakfast terrace, where local honey and homemade fig jam are served alongside still-warm pastries and single-origin coffee. Golfers head straight for the Championship course—one of Europe’s finest—while others slip into the wellness centre for a herbal steam or tension-melting deep tissue massage.

Afternoon
For poolside lounging with chilled Verdejo in hand, or a cycling tour through quiet forest trails that smell of rosemary and cypress. Children, meanwhile, are busy at the eco-kids club, learning about local wildlife and making pinecone creatures.

Evening
As the sun dips, dinner unfolds on the terrace with grilled sea bass, saffron rice, and wine from Empordà vineyards.

Night
Falls slowly here. Crickets begin their chorus as you return to your suite, where warm wood tones, soft linen, and the hush of the countryside cradle you into sleep.

Insider Tips for Camiral Golf & Wellness

• Rooms overlooking the pool are quieter, sunnier, and more relaxing than those facing the front or car park.
• Book golf packages in advance for the best rates.
• Spa treatments are highly rated—book ahead for availability.
• Dine at the Clubhouse or local Girona restaurants.
• Confirm bookings and inclusions by email. Avoid surprise charges, especially if renting a car or booking through third-party sites.
