Unwinding or energizing with a golf getaway at the luxurious 5-star resorts of Kempinski
Enjoy a round of golf, breathe in the fresh air and take in the stunning surroundings. For a growing number of hotel guests, this is the perfect leisure experience or vacation. Numerous scientific studies have confirmed the benefits of golf: it is one of the most enjoyable and relaxing ways to improve one’s overall health and well-being. Few other sports offer such a comprehensive opportunity to enhance both physical and mental state.
“We are thrilled to see the growing interest from our guests in exclusive golf getaways, which confirms the value of our investments in this thriving leisure sector. Across our portfolio of 82 international luxury hotels, we offer access to brilliantly designed golf courses in stunning locations, with some even hosting prestigious tournaments,” says Amanda Elder, chief commercial officer of the Kempinski Group and member of the Executive Board. Here is a carefully curated selection of Kempinski’s finest golf-related hotels around the globe.
Belek, a town characterized by its Seljuk-style architecture and crystal-clear waters, offers golf enthusiasts an abundance of choice with its impressive selection of courses. Nestled within the Antalya Golf Club complex, Kempinski Hotel the Dome is a charming Mediterranean resort with lavish pools, a private beach and the spacious Sanitas Spa complete with a Turkish Hammam. For the ultimate golfing holiday experience, the PGA National Antalya Golf Club offers a challenging 18-hole course spanning 6,477 meters that seamlessly integrates with the surrounding forests. The shorter Pasha course also entices golfers, with strategically placed bunkers inviting experienced players coupled with generous fairways to ease the impact of wayward shots from higher handicappers. Other notable courses include the impressive 7,200-yard championship Carya Golf Club. With Belek’s proximity to the ancient world, guests must not miss the opportunity to visit Aspendos, where the remarkably well-preserved theater continues to host memorable opera and ballet performances.
