(Girona, Spain ) – Camiral Golf & Wellness, formerly PGA Catalunya, has been named an official ‘Partner Resort’ of the PGA of Germany, becoming the network’s only partner destination in Spain.
This exclusive three-year agreement with the largest PGA in continental Europe with over 2000 members, solidifies Camiral’s standing as one of Europe’s premier golf destinations for playing professionals and coaching groups.
Felix Lechner, Managing Director of Professional Golf AG, which oversees all PGA of Germany partnerships, comments: “Camiral Golf & Wellness has been a long leading golf destination, and we are delighted to name it our exclusive Partner Resort in Spain. With its two world-class golf courses and state-of-the-art training facilities – including the PGA National Academy and an outstanding Trackman Range – it offers an elite training environment for golfers of all levels.
“Additionally, its prime location on the Costa Brava, with excellent transport links via Barcelona and Girona airports, makes it a convenient choice for our members to provide their clients with a unique opportunity to refine their skills while enjoying world-class hospitality and exceptional golfing facilities under the Spanish sun.”
Through this partnership, PGA of Germany members will receive exclusive access to preferential coaching packages and rates at Spain’s no.1 golf resort. The agreement also provides members with a dedicated winter training base, ensuring coaching and playing opportunities during the off-season.
“Partnering with the PGA of Germany reinforces our commitment to providing the highest standards of golf training and hospitality,” said Flavio Papa, Director of Golf at Camiral Golf & Wellness.
“Our two championship courses, state-of-the-art practice facilities, exceptional wellness offerings, and two luxury hotels will ensure that PGA of Germany professionals and their clients have an unparalleled golf experience, whether they are seeking a base for winter training or a venue for group coaching trips.”
Nestled just outside the culinary capital of Girona, the resort is home to the luxurious five-star Hotel Camiral, a member of The Leading Hotels of The World, and the four-star Hotel Lavida. Beyond the fairways, the resort offers an array of sport and leisure facilities and five on-site dining options, including the new seasonal Origin restaurant and the reimagined Camiral Bistro.
Golfers can also enjoy high-tech treatments and luxurious therapies at the state-of-the-art Wellness Centre, from whole-body cryotherapy, oxygen chamber therapy and photobiomodulation, to holistic massages and reformer Pilates, to enhance performance and ensure holistic recovery.

NOTES TO EDITORS
Camiral Golf & Wellness, the new name for PGA Catalunya, first opened in 1999 and quickly established an international reputation for outstanding quality. It is ranked the number one resort in Spain by Golf World magazine, which also recognises the Stadium Course in its World Top 100 Courses.
The 36-hole resort also offers two accommodation options – the 5* Hotel, a member of The Leading Hotels of The World, and LAVIDA Hotel, aimed at the active traveller. At its heart is the Wellness Centre (opened in 2021) that offers personalised healing and high-tech treatments, akin to those found at specialist clinics and elite athletic facilities. In addition, the European Tour Destination comprises a discreet, low-density real estate development, with first-class leisure facilities and a select number of villa plots, stylish modern semi-detached villas, and luxury apartments.
Having achieved its GEO Certified status in 2013 and bestowed IAGTO’s Sustainability Award for Nature Protection in recognition of excellence in environmental and social responsibility in 2020, Camiral Golf & Wellness has been implementing a maintenance and upkeep programme more akin to that of a natural sanctuary than a golf resort, in line with policies established in the European Green Deal and the EU biodiversity strategy 2020-2030.
Conveniently situated close to Girona-Costa Brava Airport (five-minute drive) and Barcelona International Airport (one-hour drive), the venue also benefits from the high-speed train line that links Girona (approximately 15 kilometres from Camiral Golf & Wellness) to the rest of Spain and Europe, which provides even faster connections to major cities, including Barcelona, which can now be reached in just 37 minutes.
