From Green to Steam Room: The Best Luxury Golf & Spa Resorts

Whether you take your golfing seriously, or just take pleasure in pottering around putting, a luxury golfing holiday which expertly combines superb golf with decadent pampering in a top spa is a delightful break that offers the best of both worlds.

The Ritz-Carlton (Abama, Tenerife)

For a luxury golfing holiday with a real emphasis on the luxury, look no further than what we consider to be the most indulgent place to stay in Tenerife: The Ritz-Carlton. Boasting 10 restaurants, 2 Michelin stars, 7 swimming pools as well as a private beach and adult-only entry, this hotel simply oozes elegance, decadence and relaxation.

On the Green which benefits from stunning sea views from every one of its 18 holes, you can round off your day with something delectable in the Michelin-starred clubhouse restaurant. Enjoy the championship course, perfect your game in the driving range and visit the putting green while here.

In the Spa, which is award-winning and simply world class, try their ‘Earth, Wind and Fire’ treatment – inspired by the El Teide volcano – to unwind and relax muscles tense from spending your days on the championship course. With such an abundance of treatments to choose from, you could indulge in a new experience each day of your stay!

Dona Filipa (Algarve, Portugal)

For golf fanatics who want the best golfing on their luxury golfing holiday, look no further than the Algarve and Dona Filipa. This beautiful five star hotel is a firm favourite with us here at Prestige. The spectacular views it benefits from thanks to its exclusive seafront location are reason enough to stay here.

On the Green open only to hotel guests, this figure-of-eight course occupies rank fifteen of the top 10 gold resorts in Continental Europe according to Golf World.

You are also perfectly placed to benefit from the top-rate, high-tech golfing facilities at Pinherios Altos Golf Centre. This 27 hole golf course also boasts a golf clinic, driving, putting and chipping practice areas and even bays for video analysis.

In the Spa you can either enjoy an in-house ‘beauty experience’, including an extensive range of hair and nail treatments, or stroll over to the Vale do Lobo Royal Spa for holistic hydro and aromatherapies to refresh and pamper you.

Sheraton Mallorca Arabella Golf Hotel (Mallorca)

Has much to offer both on and off the fairways. Its peaceful setting and gorgeous gardens also help to make it an excellent option for your luxury golfing holiday.

On the Green you have four top courses to choose from— yes, four!

• Son Vida is the oldest course in Mallorca, and this 18-hole championship course has hosted the European Tour since its development in 2001.
• Son Quint is a hilly 18-hole course with gorgeous Princess Bermuda grass.
• Son Quint Pitch & Putt offers you the chance to work on your short game over its 9 holes.
• Son Muntaner provides stunning sea and cliff backdrops to its par-72 course. It also has a driving range for you to work on your technique.

In the Spa let your worries melt away as you relax in one of their four pools, then indulge in some of their divine massage and body treatment options.
