Camiral Golf & Wellness, formerly PGA Catalunya Resort, is a luxury golf and residential resort set between the Pyrenees and the Mediterranean in Caldes de Malavella, Girona. Now part of the Quinta do Lago family, the resort operates two championship 18-hole courses, a 5-star hotel, a boutique hotel, a wellness centre, and fine dining.

The Stadium Course, designed by Neil Coles and Angel Gallardo, has held the number one ranking in Spain since it opened in 1999. In 2025, Ryder Cup Europe confirmed it as the host venue for the 2031 Ryder Cup, the first in Spain since Valderrama in 1997. The layout moves through dense pine forest and Mediterranean scrubland with the Pyrenees as a backdrop. Narrow, tree-lined fairways feed into well-defended greens with subtle borrows that reward local knowledge. The signature 13th hole, a par 3 over water to a peninsula green, is one of the most photographed in European golf.

Greg Norman's Tour Course opened in 2010 as the resort's second 18. Where the Stadium demands precision through tight corridors, the Tour Course takes a different approach: wider fairways, more open terrain, and bold sculptural bunkering that gives the layout a links-inspired feel unusual for inland Catalonia. The course plays across gently rolling ground with long views toward the surrounding hills. Most visitors play both courses, and the contrast between the two is part of what makes the resort special.

Both courses are conditioned to tour standards year-round and have hosted multiple European Tour events including the DP World Tour Qualifying School. The 5-star Hotel Camiral and the boutique Hotel La Vida offer on-site accommodation with direct access to both courses, spa facilities, and fine dining.

The Courses

Stadium Course

18 holes

The Ryder Cup 2031 venue and Spain's number one ranked course. Designed by Neil Coles and Angel Gallardo, it winds through dense pine forest with narrow fairways, well-defended greens, and the iconic par-3 13th over water. Tour-standard conditioning year-round.

Tour Course

18 holes

Greg Norman's 2010 design offers a more open, links-inspired complement to the Stadium. Wider fairways, bold bunkering, and gently rolling terrain with views toward the surrounding hills. More forgiving but still a serious championship test.
