Golf that gets the green light at home
Exceptional golf, world-class spa, something for everyone. The holiday that solves the argument.
The golf and spa holiday is the most successful diplomatic move in recreational sport. You get the golf. Your partner gets a five-star spa. The hotel has to be good enough that neither of you feels like they're compromising. Everyone wins.
It also works for solo golfers who want a more relaxed pace — a spa day between rounds, excellent restaurants, and a hotel that's as good in the evening as the course is during the day.
We're good at this. We've matched thousands of couples and small groups with hotels that deliver genuinely on both sides of the equation. The spa has to be proper — treatment rooms, pool, the works. The courses have to be worth playing. Neither can be an afterthought.
The best golf and spa resorts combine both without compromise. We visit these properties. We know which spas are genuine and which are a brochure photograph of a pool.
Is this trip for you?
- At least one person in the party wants proper spa access, not just a hotel gym
- You want courses that are genuinely good, not just convenient
- An excellent restaurant matters as much as the green fee
- You prefer a resort hotel over a budget property

Questions we get asked
Does the spa access need to be booked separately?
Most resort hotels include basic spa access in the room rate. Premium treatments are booked and paid separately. We'll clarify exactly what's included when we quote.
Can non-golfers stay at the same hotel?
Yes — all the resorts we recommend are as good for non-golfers as golfers. Pool, beach, restaurants, spa. Non-golfers don't need to feel stranded.
What's the best destination for a romantic golf and spa trip?
Portugal's Algarve or Turkey's Belek for value. Dubai for the full luxury experience. Morocco for something genuinely different and atmospheric.
