Top-class Mallorca golf breaks
Swing into action on the Balearic island this summer
The sheer number of high-quality golf courses available in Mallorca will impress even the most experienced golfer. The island welcomes both professionals and amateurs from all over the world year-round.
There are many factors that contribute to creating the perfect golfing holiday and Mallorca ticks all the boxes. Here are just some of the reasons why we believe Mallorca has become one of Europe’s top golfing holiday destinations in recent years.
Unbeatable weather
With around 300 days of sunshine per year, Mallorca’s climate is perfect for golfing throughout the four seasons. However, we would suggest you try to avoid playing between 13:00 and 16:00 in the peak summer months when the sun is at its highest.
Stunning terrain & views
Golf courses in Mallorca are often carefully designed to preserve the island's natural beauty, which means that your 18-holes are normally complimented by surrounding olive trees, ancient stone walls and landmark pitstops. More often than not, the ranges offer truly exceptional views of Mallorca’s Tramontana mountains, neat rows of burgeoning vines, or the rugged coastline with glistening panoramic sea views.
Wide range of golf courses
Mallorca boasts 20 golf courses with varying layouts. You’ll never have to travel far to find a course with something suited to every ability, from the 9-hole pitch-and-put at Golf Son Quint through to the world-class championship course at Puntiro Golf Course. For the keenest of golfers, there are also several resort-style layouts are the perfect choice for visiting tourists like the Sheraton Arabella Golf Mallorca or Son Antem Golf Mallorca.
Alcanada Golf Course
Overlooking Alcúdia bay, Club de Golf Alcanada delivers premium service both on and off the course which has led to it being named as one of the best golf courses in Spain. The golf academy is one of most critically acclaimed on the island, making it a favourite spot for golfers to improve their swing.
Son Gual Golf Course
Recently included in the new Rolex World’s Top 1000 Golf Courses Guide, Son Gual is also Rafa Nadal’s favourite course on the island. It's a challenging course, even for the most seasoned golfers, making it one of the most talked about courses in Mallorca.
Son Muntaner Golf Course
Son Muntaner is the most prestigious of the three-course complex at the 63-hole Arabella Golf resort in Son Vida. As one of the more demanding courses on the island, expect slithering lake runs and difficult bunkers to truly test your skills.
T Country Club & Golf Course
Located in the southwest of Mallorca, this is one of the oldest and most established golf courses on the island. Its enchanting beauty and prime location certainly make it stand out from the crowd.
Luxury golf hotels
Mallorca’s reputation as a golfing paradise wouldn’t be complete without its specialist hotels, which are great for sports enthusiasts looking for a golf-centred holiday. The island boasts a wide selection of hotels with adjoining courses.
For instance, the 63-hole golf resort Son Arabella consists of three 18-hole courses: Son Muntaner, Son Vida and Son Quint, with the latter including a 9-hole pitch and putt. Luxury hotels St. Regis Mardavall, Castillo Hotel Son Vida and Sheraton Mallorca Arabella Golf Hotel are are also linked to the Arabella resort. Hotel guests are entitled to special green fees and other benefits.
Prestigious golf schools & coaching
Why not brush up on your swing with some tuition from one of Mallorca’s accomplished golf schools. Book a one-to-one coaching session with one of the island-based professionals, like the Par 72, who offer luxury golfing experiences hosted by the British PGA professional, Jamie Knight.
