Best adults-only golf resorts

Whilst there’s nothing quite like a family holiday, sometimes it’s nice to escape; perhaps enjoying a slightly more serene break, without the fear of getting splashed from the kids jumping in and out of the pool!

Our expert team have worked hard to curate some resorts on the planet for an adults-only golf holiday, and we’ve brought them all together in one place for you here.

• AP Cabanas Beach & Nature
• Palmares Beach House Hotel
• Hard Rock Hotel Marbella
• Iberostar Waves Cala Millor
• Castillo Hotel Son Vida
• Amre Beach Hotel Marbella
• Hotel Las Madrigueras
• Leonardo Plaza Cypria Maris Beach Hotel & Spa
• Ambre Resort & Spa

The Algarve certainly isn’t short of fantastic golf resorts, however, the AP Cabanas Beach & Nature resort is a unique proposition. Based just ten minutes from downtown Tavira, the hotel is set within the stunning Ria Formosa Natural Park.

That said, the resort is close enough to take advantage of some incredible courses; including Monte Rei, Quinta da Ria, and Quinta da Cima. Since opening in 2021, its already become a favourite of customers who are looking for a more laid-back getaway.

Over in the west of the Algarve, you’ll find another adult-only gem at Palmares Beach House Hotel in Lagos. The accommodation has a stunning art-deco design and is placed perfectly between the bright blue ocean and the lush greens of the Palmares Golf Course.

There are 27 holes of golf to enjoy, and when you’re not trying to tame this Robert Trent Jones Jr design, there are few places more relaxing than the outdoor pool to enjoy the afternoon – whilst looking back over the layout towards the ocean.

Looking for a hotel with a little rock-n-roll as standard? The Hard Rock Hotel in Marbella certainly has you covered, with heaps of live entertainment to enjoy on-site … if you don’t fancy walking down into Puerto Banus that is!

The hotel provides ideal access to the likes of Los Naranjos, Los Arqueros, and La Quinta golf courses, allowing you to create the perfect golf tour holiday to suit your itinerary. Perfect for adults that want a bit of everything from their next break.

The Spanish islands have become increasingly popular for golf travellers over recent years, with the Iberostar Waves Cala Millor being another that has only recently been added to the Majorcan offering.

Situated right on the beach, the hotel offers gorgeous views across the water and also boasts a highly rated buffet-style restaurant named Es Castell – with themed food nights prepared throughout the week. The hotel benefits from its proximity and relationship with both Pula Golf Course and Canyamel Golf Club, some of the best layouts on the island.

Another Majorcan hotel, albeit one that has been on the island since the 13th century, Castillo Hotel Son Vida was revamped in the 1960’s and is now a truly magical five-star property. The hotel is just five minutes from the centre of Palma, making it the ideal base for exploring one of Europe’s most vibrant capital cities.

Castillo Hotel Son Vida benefits from the on-site Son Vida golf course, as well as being just two minutes from both the Son Muntaner and Son Quint courses – two of our favourite parklands in the whole of Spain.

If you’re looking to experience some of the best gastronomy that Spain has to offer, then the Amare Beach Hotel in Marbella is the perfect choice for your break. With its Michelin-starred restaurant, Messina, based within the hotel, it serves some of the best food from across our entire portfolio.

The hotel doesn’t benefit from an on-site course, but instead takes advantage of its central location; with Rio Real Golf Course, Santa Clara Golf Course and Marbella Golf & Country Club all nearby.

When considering an adult-only retreat, there are plenty of things that might be atop your list. Rooms with a view, five-star decadence, a stunning on-site golf course, 30-minutes from an airport, and a choice of restaurants.

The great news is that the Hotel Las Madrigueras has you covered on all fronts. It’s been one of our most popular hotels in the whole of the Canary Islands for some time, and only continues to improve, season after season.

With some of Cyprus’ best golf courses all within easy reach, including Eléa, Secret Valley, Minthis Hills, and of course, PGA National, Leonardo Plaza Cypria Maris is an excellent choice for those looking for an adult-only golf holiday on the island.

As the name suggests, the hotel overlooks the beach, and also boasts a luxurious spa, on-site fine dining, and even its own nightclub! The hotel is also based less than 10-miles from Paphos airport, making it extremely easy to reach – and putting Paphos itself within close proximity for an afternoon exploring the town.

Our last resort on the list is a true adults-only, all-inclusive paradise! The Mauritian Ambre Resort & Spa is a truly sensational destination, a stone’s throw from some of the clearest waters and white sandy beaches on the planet!

There’s plenty of great golf to enjoy, including Ile Aux Cerfs Golf Course and Anahita – with the first of these set on its own island. Truthfully though, a golf trip to Mauritius is as much about the off-course splendour as it is the nuances of the 18-hole layouts – and there are few places on the planet more enjoyable to unwind at than Ambre Resort & Spa!
