Posted on by

Camiral Golf & Wellness has once again solidified its position as a beacon of excellence in golf by maintaining its coveted Gold Flag status at the last 59club Europe Service Excellence Awards.

The Gold Flag, a pinnacle of achievement within the 59club Europe industry benchmark, is bestowed upon properties demonstrating the highest service excellence. The exceptional teams at Camiral Golf & Wellness take immense pride in their tenacious dedication and hard work, which have earned the resort this prestigious honour again. It is one of the most chosen destinations among the best Spain golf breaks.

Behind Camiral Golf & Wellness story

The story begins with the ancient Camí Ral traversing the resort—a Roman road cradled amidst the sea and mountains, weaving through pine forests, lakes, and sun-dappled clearings, connecting Spain to France. This path has been integral to the resort’s history, bridging past, present, and future. 

The resort has recently adopted the appellation Camiral Golf and Wellness to encapsulate the myriad of transformative changes over the past two decades. With its acclaimed Stadium Course and Tour Course, pristine natural surroundings, revamped wellness program, organic vineyards, and gastronomic offerings, Camiral Golf & Wellness is more intertwined than ever with the region.

Nestled adjacent to the PGA Catalunya Golf Course, the Camiral Hotel stands as a testament to style and luxury. It offers an outdoor oasis with an expansive pool. Each generously appointed room boasts complimentary Wi-Fi, a flat-screen satellite TV, and views of the idyllic countryside. Adorned in warm, natural hues, the rooms feature air conditioning, a minibar, and modern bathrooms exuding elegance.

Exquisite à la carte cuisine awaits at Camiral Hotel’s airy restaurant, while guests can unwind at the piano bar or pub. In the summer, beverages can be enjoyed on the terrace. The spa beckons with a sauna, hot tub, hammam, and various rejuvenating treatments. Just a stone’s throw away lies the spa town of Caldes de Malavella, renowned for its natural mineral waters. The vibrant city of Girona and its airport, as well as the best Costa Brava beaches, are within easy reach.
