The estate balances championship golf with clinical recovery therapies under the quiet canopy of Catalan pine woods.

Two championship golf courses spread across pine woodland overlooking the distant Pyrenees.
What they say
Michelin Selected
Michelin
The grounds are green and rolling, with views of the Pyrenees off in the distance, and the pool is large, gorgeously lined in aquamarine tile
Tucked away
A place apart: the property is the destination.
Girona's Gothic old town is a twenty-minute drive north, leaving the estate surrounded only by quiet pine trails.
The rooms
Rooms have oak floors and hand-painted tiles, and private balconies look out over the gardens.
The pool
Bring a swimsuit.
Striped loungers and green parasols border the heated 20-metre pool, set against the surrounding pine woods.
The spa
Glass-walled treatment rooms look out onto stone gardens, set beside indoor hydrotherapy pools and an herbal steam room.
The gym
Treadmills face floor-to-ceiling windows over the grounds, and an indoor studio hosts yoga and pilates sessions.
Lounge Bar
Backlit shelving illuminates the counter, where bartenders serve regional wines and cocktails late into the evening.
At the table
Camiral Bistro grills fresh seafood over open coals, and an open-air pool bar serves lunch under woven pendants.
How it began
The estate was originally planned as a Formula 1 racetrack in 1992 before pivoting into championship golf fairways.

Cared for at every turn. The bath is drawn before you ask.

It could only be here. You wake up knowing where you are.

The city grew up with it. Same rituals, same regulars, same bar.

A world of its own. Something to do from breakfast to nightcap.
The scene

Where things happen: restaurants, shops, people.

Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.

Away from the crowds. Getting around takes intention.
