There are very few golf resorts in Spain where you can play a PGA-qualifying championship course in the morning, have lunch at a Michelin-starred restaurant in a medieval castle, take a wine therapy treatment in the afternoon, and catch an opera under the stars in the evening. That combination is what sets Perelada apart. It’s a resort with genuine depth, and the fact that it sits in one of the most beautiful and underrated corners of the country only adds to it. The hotel itself is deliberately intimate. 64 rooms and suites in total, which keeps the feel personal rather than resort-anonymous. Staff are consistently praised across guest reviews for their warmth and attentiveness, and the food across the resort reflects a serious commitment to Catalan cuisine and the wines of the Empordà.

The golf is well-designed, beautifully maintained, and varied enough to reward several visits. Guests who return often mention that the course reveals more with each round, particularly on the greens, which are subtler than they first appear. A couple of honest notes worth knowing. The outdoor pool is seasonal and only really viable between May and October. The hotel is a small property, and availability during summer and the music festival period in July and August gets snapped up quickly. Planning ahead is essential if you have specific dates in mind. For golfers who also appreciate good food, serious wine, and a setting with genuine character, Perelada Resort is one of the most rewarding places to stay in Spain.
