Camiral Golf & Wellness - Media Pack 2025 (English)

MEDIA PACK 2025

EAT, PLAY, STAY WELL.

Through two and a half decades of considered transformation and timely innovations, Camiral Golf & Wellness has evolved into the perfect environment to disconnect from the world and reconnect with ourselves — and our loved ones.

Originally known as PGA Catalunya, in 2022 our name changed to reflect all the wonderful advancements since our opening in 1999 and connect with the history of the area and environment in which we reside.

The story behind our name was born from the Romans’ Camí Ral: an ancient route that weaved between the mountains, connecting the Pyrenees with the Mediterranean, crossing our natural oasis of pine forests, lakes and sunlit glades. This road has been the foundation of Camiral Golf & Wellness, connecting us to our past and our future.

Where the unmistakable natural beauty of Catalonia, Spain’s most vibrant and culturally rich region, is seamlessly blended with award-winning design and architecture. Where active pursuits, including on two of Europe’s finest golf courses, challenge our bodies and minds. Where these are recharged and replenished by best-in-class wellness treatments that blend the latest science and technology with homegrown therapeutic floras and minerals. And where five-star chefs serve up world-renowned, locally sourced food and drink to refuel us for our next adventure.

Reflecting both our past and our future, Spain's No. 1 Golf Resort heralds a new era and a new journey as Camiral Golf & Wellness.

SPAIN'S NO.1 GOLF RESORT
World Class Golf

As Spain’s No.1 Golf Resort, a European Tour Destination and with a close association with the PGA, Camiral Golf & Wellness offers two acclaimed golf courses.

Since it opened in 1999, the Stadium Course has consistently ranked among the top 10 courses in Continental Europe, hosting prestigious professional tournaments, including multiple editions of the Open d’España and the DP World Tour Catalunya Championship.

Building on its 25-year legacy as a premier championship venue, Camiral Golf & Wellness hosted the inaugural Camiral Open in spring 2025 – a new amateur golf tournament welcoming male and female golfers from around the world.

The acclaimed Tour Course perfectly complements the challenge of the Stadium, offering world class conditioning, but with a gentler, more forgiving playing experience, to be enjoyed by all standards of players.

In 2022, more than €1 million was invested in the golf courses. Key sustainability measures included a reduction in water usage by 35% on the Stadium Course. Camiral Golf & Wellness works alongside expert biologists to oversee the resort's sustainability management and promote biodiversity across its courses.

Home to the only PGA National Golf Academy in Spain, the Golf Hub boats state-of-the-art infrastructure and is recognised as having some of the finest practice facilities in Europe.

Attracting Tour players, national teams and amateur golfers looking to refine their skills, the facilities include a Trackman Range with 10 interactive screens, GEARS Swing Analysis technology and a 2,000-square-metre putting and chipping green with five practice bunkers.

THE FUTURE OF WELLBEING
Our Wellness Centre

The resort’s most recent offering is a deeply-considered, award-winning Wellness Centre spanning some 1,000 square metres.

A full wellbeing programme has been introduced, built on a holistic approach that invites pure relaxation and promotes long-lasting benefits for the mind and body.

Thoughtful natural rituals are designed to revive, restore and inspire, while specialist support and supervision is provided by a caring, professional team including nutritionist, Mireia Cervera, and mindfulness expert, Edgar Tarrés.

Next-generation technology reaches areas hands cannot, using targeted equipment that is normally only available at medical clinics or elite athlete facilities, including cryotherapy, oxygen chamber therapy and photobiomodulation.

While tailor made Detox & Cleanse, Longevity & Vitality and Wellbeing programmes are sculpted to each individual’s needs, the resort also hosts a series of Wellness Retreats, recognised among the top three Best Global Spa Retreats in the Luxury Spa Edit Awards, 2024.

Carefully crafted by in-house and external wellness experts, the wellbeing journeys - including this year's Women's Wellbeing Hormonal Retreat and Swing into Wellness Retreat - combine naturopathic and holistic therapies with state-of-the-art technologies, fitness classes, yoga and meditation, as well as contact with nature to inspire and delight the senses.

STAY & DINE IN STYLE
The Hotel

Located in the centre of the resort, the light-filled and luxurious Hotel Camiral, part of The Leading Hotels of the World collection, offers 5-star sophistication and first-class facilities.

Conceptualised by Spanish designer Lázaro Rosa-Violán, its sleek contemporary exterior contrasts with richly textured interiors that blend modern aesthetics with natural furnishings and fabrics.

138 beautifully-designed rooms and suites each include airy living spaces, wooden floors, hand-painted tiles and local linens.

In 2022, the hotel launched its new Camiral Suites designed by the renowned Bryan O’Sullivan Studio, whose portfolio includes Claridge's and The Berkeley Bar & Terrace. With wellness at the core of Hotel Camiral, seven timeless and elegant suites were created with direct access to the Wellness Centre, reflecting the hotel’s grounding holistic ethos.

Eating well is part of living well at Camiral Golf & Wellness, where a choice of five restaurants provides sensational cooking based on organic ingredients.

Refined dining with a Catalan twist features at Camiral Bistro, whose imaginative menu is masterminded by renowned chef David Vives who sources exclusively from local artisan producers.

For a more gastronomic experience, enjoy a taste of culinary excellence at Origin. As each dish is brought to you, you will notice that the ingredients talk for themselves, keeping the cooking methods simple and flavoursome. Open from March to October, the seasonal set menu explores and celebrates the diverse ingredients and cooking styles of the region.

Camiral Bella’s is the perfect Mediterranean-inspired dining experience, serving an array of freshly made rustic Italian pizzas, using home grown seasonal ingredients.

Tapas, donburi bowls and burgers are paired with an impressive wine-list and master mixology at The Lounge Bar while outside, the Pool Bar serves post-swim ice creams and relaxed snacks.

The Club Café, which overlooks the endless greens of the Stadium Course, is an ideal spot to toast a perfect par.

AT ONE WITH NATURE
Within the Resort

Camiral Golf & Wellness is one of the few resorts worldwide that works alongside expert biologists to advise on ecological and sustainability management in golf.

The management and upkeep of the resort is overseen in collaboration with the renowned environmental NGO, Conservation of Natural Ecosystems (CEN). This methodology differs from traditional golf course management and aligns with the policies established in the European Green Deal and the EU biodiversity strategy 2020-2030.

Nature enthusiasts can enjoy a variety of outdoor experiences designed to celebrate the unique and species-rich surroundings, including a visit to the prolific beehives housing over one million bees or learning how to track endemic birds, bugs and beasts.

The surrounding forest reveals active adventures and promotes an affinity with nature with a thrilling zipwire route as well as walking paths, cycling and trekking trails through the nearby forests and mountains to encourage mindfulness and connection.

Awards & Accolades
In 2013, Camiral Golf & Wellness was the first European Tour Destination to receive the GEO Certificate from the Golf Environment Organization. In 2020, it received the IAGTO Sustainability Award for Nature Protection in recognition of excellence in environmental and social responsibility.

In 2023, Camiral Golf & Wellness was recognised in a new ‘Green 100’ listing by Golf World and GEO Foundation for Sustainable Golf, which identified the most environmentally conscious and socially responsible golf courses in Europe.

Most recently, Camiral was named ‘International Environmental Golf Club of the Year’ at the 2025 Golf Environment Awards (GEAs), recognising its impactful sustainability initiatives across nature conservation, resource management, and community engagement.

Golf courses and gardens use 100% recycled water
The resort recycles 100% of its water. It irrigates the golf courses and green spaces using recycled wastewater that is treated and purified, derived from both nearby towns and the complex's own buildings. Moreover, the Stadium Course now benefits from a new irrigation system and native Bermuda grass on its tees, fairways, and rough areas, contributing to a 35% reduction in water usage.

Plastic free in the golf courses
In order to reduce plastic waste, water fountains have been installed at different points of the golf courses and Club House. This action has enabled Camiral to eliminate the need for single-use plastic bottles and target a reduction of 70,000 plastic bottles per year.

Green energy and solar panels at Hotel Camiral
Five-star Hotel Camiral and its new 1,000m² Wellness Centre has reduced its energy consumption by 50% with a number of new, sustainable initiatives. State-of-the-art air conditioning units, an on-site power station and solar panels help cut more than 362 tonnes of CO2 emissions each year.

Natural reserve with a robust green infrastructure
As a biodiversity hub, Camiral Golf & Wellness provides sanctuary to 150 vertebrate species and plays a vital role as an ecological connector between protected natural areas.

Situated between Sils Lake, La Tordera River, and the Montseny Mountains, the resort employs a range of measures to enhance biodiversity and strengthen its green infrastructure. Approximately one-third of the vertebrate species it shelters are birds, alongside protected and threatened species such as the eel, fire salamander, western barn owl, and otter. In return, the thriving ecosystem provides valuable natural services, including pest control and an enriched environment filled with natural sounds and scents.

A MEDITERRANEAN LIFE
Homes at Camiral

Located in various parts of the resort, there are considered and contemporary, low-density residential developments with high-end homes, villas, apartments and plots for sale.

Modern design which integrates with the surrounding natural environment is a key concept at Spain's No.1 Golf Resort. Owners can choose to work with a selection of top architects, including Pritzker Award-winning RCR arquitectes, LaGula architects, Jaime Prous, Carlos Ferrater and DEBLACAM & MEAGHER ARCHITECTS, or undertake their own project in keeping with the resort’s overall vision.

Camiral Golf & Wellness marries comfort and wellbeing with a Mediterranean lifestyle, within a protected natural setting. In addition to The Residents' Club with its dedicated concierge team, owners can access the many, extensive facilities of the resort.

In 2023, the resort finished the first villa under the Well concept, an innovative biophilic design set in pristine surrounds.

In 2024 the La Ginesta project was unveiled, an exclusive collection of 20 villas set amongst beautiful Catalan woodland, with views of the 15th hole of the Stadium Course to the west and the rugged Montseny mountain range in the distance.

As with all of the resort's properties, the wellbeing-focused design philosophy is evident in each villa, where carefully created spaces combine natural surroundings with modern aesthetics, and calming, natural colours, fabrics and textures are blended throughout.

BEYOND THE RESORT
Discovering Catalonia

In addition to the many immersive experiences on-site, Camiral Golf & Wellness also provides the perfect access to Catalonia’s coastal, cultural and culinary highlights from medieval hill towns to scenic cycling routes.

Girona – known as Barcelona’s ‘charming little sister’ and famed for its gastronomy with more than 14 Michelin-starred restaurants – is just 20 minutes away.

Art lovers can celebrate the master of Surrealism at the Dalí museum in nearby Figueres. Hiking the ancient coastal path Cami de Ronda takes in challenging sea cliffs, secret beaches and lively sea-side towns, and the Pyrenees' exhilarating skiing is just under two hours' drive-time.

As Catalonia is on many a road-biker’s bucket list, courtesy of its breathtaking scenery and challenging climbs, Camiral Golf & Wellness now has a specialist cycling service to cater for dedicated enthusiasts, cycling clubs and professional teams, as well as peloton groups and cycling clubs to help with hiring, storing and maintaining equipment, route-planning and logistics, as well as recovery!
