Camiral host extends 10-year reign as Spain’s best

Girona-based venue maintains its position as the top-rated resort in Europe as judged by Golf World’s expert panel.

Camiral, host venue of the 2031 Ryder Cup, has once again been named Spain’s No.1 Golf Resort in the Golf World Top 100 Resorts Continental Europe ranking, extending its position at the top for more than a decade. 

The 36-hole resort, located just outside Girona in Catalonia, continues to strengthen its reputation as one of Europe’s leading golf destinations, ranking #5 in the listing.

The resort’s state-of-the-art Wellness Centre, opened in 2021, also made headlines named among the best golf resort spas in Continental Europe.

“Our continued investment in Camiral reflects our uncompromising pursuit of golfing excellence, and the latest ranking by Golf World reflects that commitment,” said Flavio Papa, Director of Golf at Camiral.

“From bunker renovations, upgraded drainage systems and the transition to warm-season Bermuda grass, we are elevating our courses’ conditioning to meet the highest international standards. With the 2031 Ryder Cup in sight, we are actively raising the benchmark across our golf, wellness and hospitality offerings to ensure Camiral remains firmly established among Europe’s leading golf destinations.”

 Following the announcement that Camiral will host the 2031 Ryder Cup, the resort has completed a €7 million investment in its acclaimed Stadium and Tour courses, reinforcing its commitment to delivering an exceptional golf experience.

Chris Bertram, Golf World Top 100 Editor, said: “As the host of the 2031 Ryder Cup, Camiral is a testament to what can be achieved through vision, ambition and continued investment. 

“From significant investments in its Stadium and Tour Courses to its world-class Wellness Centre – recognised in this listing as one of the best golf resort spas in Europe – and its exceptional gastronomic experiences, Camiral offers excellence at every turn. It is a world-class golf destination and has earned its place among the very best.”

Set across a 550-hectare estate, just outside the culinary capital of Girona and one hour from Barcelona, Camiral is home to the five-star Hotel Camiral, a member of The Leading Hotels of The World, and the four-star Lavida.

Beyond the fairways, the resort offers an array of sport and leisure facilities, including a state-of-the-art Wellness Centre, five on-site dining options, the seasonal Origin fine dining restaurant, and the reimagined Camiral Bistro.

Golfers visiting this 36-hole European Tour Destination can combine world-class golf with holistic wellness, innovative treatments and exceptional Catalan cuisine, for a truly premium leisure experience.
