PGA Catalunya, Girona · Spain
Hotel Camiral
Five-star golf immersion at the heart of PGA Catalunya.
Overview
Hotel Camiral
Hotel Camiral sits at the heart of the PGA Catalunya estate in the hills above Girona, offering the only five-star accommodation directly within one of Europe's most celebrated golf destinations. The Stadium Course — consistently ranked number one in Spain and among the top ten in continental Europe — is steps from the hotel entrance, while the Tour Course and Infinitum Lakes par-3 course complete a three-course portfolio that is unmatched in the region. The hotel's architecture is contemporary and understated, designed to complement rather than compete with the natural beauty of the Catalan landscape.
For golf groups, Hotel Camiral delivers the same operational advantage as the finest integrated resort destinations in Europe: no transfers, no logistics, and a rhythm to the week that is entirely uninterrupted. The spa, pool, and dining programme are strong enough to sustain a full week on the estate, and the proximity to Girona — one of the most beautiful medieval cities in Spain — and the Costa Brava coastline adds a cultural and culinary dimension that extends the stay well beyond the golf.
Why We Recommend It & How It Fits
Why We Recommend It
The Stadium Course
Ranked number one in Spain and consistently in the top ten in continental Europe, the Stadium Course is the primary reason to visit PGA Catalunya. Designed by Neil Coles and Angel Gallardo, it has hosted the Spanish Open, the European Tour Qualifying School, and served as a Ryder Cup preparation venue. Playing it from the hotel — with no transfer, no logistics, and a tee time booked through the concierge — is the defining advantage of staying at Hotel Camiral.
Complete Estate Integration
All three courses — Stadium, Tour, and Infinitum Lakes — are within the estate. The hotel's golf concierge manages tee times, equipment, and any additional requirements across the week. There are no transfers, no logistics, and no time lost between hotel and first tee. The operational ease this creates is genuinely significant across a five or seven-night programme.
Catalan Setting
The estate sits in the hills of the Girona province, surrounded by cork oak forests and with views across the Catalan countryside. The light, the landscape, and the quality of the local food and wine give the week a strong sense of place — one that is distinctly different from the coastal resort golf of the Algarve or the Costas.
Girona and the Costa Brava
The medieval city of Girona is 20 minutes from the estate — one of the most beautiful and least-visited cities in Spain, with a cathedral, Jewish quarter, and restaurant scene that rivals Barcelona. The Costa Brava coastline is 40 minutes away. For groups with non-golfers, or for those wanting to extend the stay beyond the estate, the surrounding region is exceptional.
Spa and Wellness
The hotel's spa and wellness facilities are among the strongest in the Spanish golf resort sector — a comprehensive programme of treatments, hydrotherapy, and fitness facilities that provides a genuine recovery environment after a day on the course. For non-golfers, the spa and pool are compelling in their own right.
How It Fits Into a Heritage Itinerary
The Core PGA Catalunya Stay
Hotel Camiral is the natural anchor for a PGA Catalunya golf week — four to seven nights on the estate, rotating between the Stadium and Tour courses with replay rounds built in. The self-contained nature of the resort means the week has a natural rhythm and pace that is difficult to replicate with a multi-base itinerary.
A First Continental Europe Golf Trip
For groups new to continental European golf, Hotel Camiral provides the ideal introduction — the operational ease of a single-base stay, the quality assurance of a five-star property, and a course in the Stadium that is genuinely among the best in Europe without requiring prior knowledge of the destination.
A Girona and Costa Brava Extension
For groups wanting to combine championship golf with a broader Spanish experience, Hotel Camiral provides the ideal base. Girona is 20 minutes away, the Costa Brava coastline is 40 minutes, and Barcelona is 90 minutes — making it possible to build a week that balances golf with some of the finest cultural and culinary experiences in Spain.
A Corporate or Society Golf Week
The estate's private dining facilities, dedicated golf concierge, and ability to accommodate larger groups make it a natural choice for corporate golf events and society trips. The Stadium Course provides a competitive and memorable format, and the hotel's operational infrastructure handles the logistics seamlessly.
This is the finest integrated golf resort in continental Europe — not because of any single element, but because of the quality and coherence of the whole. The Stadium Course is genuinely world-class, the hotel is a proper five-star property, and the Catalan setting adds a cultural and culinary dimension that no other golf destination in Spain can match. For groups seeking a week of championship golf without compromise, Hotel Camiral is the answer.
Rooms, Dining & Wellness
Rooms & Suites
The 150 rooms and suites are distributed across the hotel in a contemporary design that draws on the natural materials and warm tones of the Catalan landscape — stone, timber, and terracotta throughout. Most rooms have private terraces or balconies overlooking the golf courses or the surrounding hills, and the suites offer generous living spaces with panoramic views across the estate. The design is understated and refined — a deliberate counterpoint to the drama of the courses outside.
Dining & Atmosphere
The hotel's dining programme reflects the exceptional quality of the Catalan larder. The main restaurant serves refined Catalan cuisine using local and seasonal produce — the region's charcuterie, cheeses, and wines are among the finest in Spain, and the kitchen makes full use of them. The terrace bar, positioned above the pool with views across the estate, is the natural gathering point for the group at the end of a day on the course — and the wine list, with its strong focus on Catalan and Spanish producers, is one of the best in the region.
Spa, Wellness & Leisure
The spa and wellness centre provides a comprehensive programme of treatments, hydrotherapy, and fitness facilities — a genuine recovery environment after a day on the Stadium or Tour course. The outdoor pool, positioned to take full advantage of the views across the Catalan hills, is one of the most atmospheric settings on the estate. For non-golfers, the spa provides a full day's programme in its own right, and the hotel's proximity to Girona and the Costa Brava means there is always a compelling alternative to the estate.

Position & Access
Location & Access
Hotel Camiral sits within the PGA Catalunya estate in the hills of the Girona province, approximately 20 kilometres north of Girona city and 100 kilometres north-east of Barcelona. All three courses are contained within the estate — there is no need to leave the resort at any point during the stay. Girona and the Costa Brava coastline are both within easy reach for day excursions.
Courses Within Reach
Arrivals & Transfers
Girona-Costa Brava Airport (GRO) is the closest gateway, approximately 25 minutes by road. Barcelona El Prat Airport (BCN) is approximately 90 minutes by road and offers significantly more international connections. The hotel can arrange private transfers from both airports. PGA Catalunya is best approached as a standalone destination — typically 4 to 7 nights — though it can be combined with a Barcelona city stay or a coastal extension along the Costa Brava.
