Golf breaks and wellness in Mallorca

Sports and active holidays

Golf is more fashionable than ever—especially among women seeking an active, serene and stylish break. For many golfers, the sport has become an alternative relaxation ritual: a way to reconnect with nature, release daily stress and stay fit while also savouring a few days of rest.  

 

Mallorca stands out as a must-visit destination for golf lovers. The sport has a long tradition on the island, thanks to its mild weather and the beauty of its courses, some dating back to the mid-20th century.  

 

Below is a list of ideas for recharging your batteries on Mallorca's top golf courses before getting back into the autumn routine.

After the intense Mediterranean summer—marked by relaxing poolside, long afternoons by the sea and star-filled nights—autumn in Mallorca arrives with mild temperatures and quiet days that invite us to slow down and find inner peace.  

 

Among the rising trends for achieving balance between body and mind, golf stands out as a form of slow leisure. It’s an ideal way to focus on enjoyment, stay active in the open air, and unwind before returning to the rhythm of everyday life. 

 

Active mindfulness

 

One of golf’s greatest gifts is its power to enhance concentration and emotional well-being. At Golf Andratx, renowned for hosting one of the longest holes in Spain, this active mindfulness experience reaches new heights. Located in the heart of the Camp de Mar valley, with stunning views of the Mediterranean, this course has become a haven for celebrities and VIPs from across Europe.

 

Its peaceful surroundings offer the perfect escape from urban life, inviting players to lose themselves in the island’s natural beauty. Here, each step across the greens and every swing is accompanied by the soothing rhythm of the sea—a true sanctuary for body and mind. The best thing about the golf club? 

  • The legendary “Green Monster”, one of the longest holes in Spain. The iconic par-5 6th stretches 609 metres from the championship tee, offering an epic challenge with its gentle incline, strategically placed bunkers, and water hazards that demand precision and nerve. 
  • The technical design is unique: with narrow fairways, up to five blind shots and seven lakes. The degree of difficulty makes it one of the most challenging holes in the Mediterranean.

 

How to get to Golf de Andratx 

 

Golf de Andratx is located right next to our most exceptional resort: Zafiro Palace Andratx. Ideal for converting one of its beautiful suites into the location for your wellness retreat. The hotel also features a spa with beauty and spa experiences by the Germaine de Capuccini cosmetics brand and complementary activities such as SUP yoga and fitness training to make your getaway absolutely perfect.   

 

 

Reconnecting with nature

 

In the northwest of Mallorca, between the medieval charm of Capdepera and the coastal beauty of Cala Ratjada, lies Capdepera Golf—a serene retreat nestled within the Llevant Peninsula Nature Reserve, one of the most beautiful places on the island. This tranquil haven invites you to reconnect with nature while enjoying the elegance and style of nearby reinvented towns like Artà, Canyamel and Capdepera.   

  

The course itself offers a thoughtful blend of accessible holes for beginners and technical challenges for seasoned players, with the 15th hole standing out as one of the most photographed spots on the island. Among its greatest attractions, Capdepera Golf offers:  

  • Mallorcan cuisine made with local ingredients at the Roca Viva Restaurant. A "must” for the most discerning diners.
  • Private classes and clinics for small groups, highly popular among beginners discovering the sport together. 
  • Relaxed atmosphere in a unique natural environment. 

  

How to get to Capdepera Golf 

 

Our Zafiro Cala Mesquida Hotel is only 10 minutes away by car from Capdepera Golf via the Cala Mesquida road and Ma-15. Strategically located between the towns of Capdepera and Artà, it's the perfect hotel for combining sports with cultural visits to these two towns, with medieval walls that preserve many centuries of history, traditional markets full of local aromas and colours, and cobblestone streets that invite you to slow down and explore at your own pace.

Relaxation and disconnection 

 

Though we are social by nature, sometimes stepping away is essential—to reconnect with the universe and restore emotional balance. Pollença Golf Club, founded in 1986 on the Ca’n Porquer estate, offers just that: a peaceful haven for those seeking golf far from the crowds. Located at the entrance to Pollença, the course is fully immersed in the local landscape, surrounded by almond and olive trees, with breathtaking views of the Serra de Tramuntana and with 9 holes that offer a relaxing yet technically challenging round of golf.  

 

The idyllic surroundings make Pollença Golf Club the perfect place to reconnect with the present, far from the noise of everyday life. Here, the gentle sound of a well-placed putt blends with the Mediterranean breeze rustling through the olive trees. It’s an ideal spot to start your day with a peaceful round of golf, then spend the afternoon discovering the charming town of Pollença or unwinding on the beaches of Formentor. In addition to its commitment to the environment, it stands out for:  

  • A renowned golf academy with expert coaches dedicated to guiding beginners
  • A putting green ideal for practice, along with two of the longest holes in Mallorca for those seeking a challenge.
  • A local cuisine restaurant offering authentic flavours and panoramic views of the countryside and mountains.

 

How to get to Pollença Golf Club 

 

The route to Pollença Golf Club from the Zafiro Palace Alcudia or Zafiro Tropic, just 15 minutes away along the Ma-2201 highway, allows you to enjoy beautiful sea views and the peace and calm of the golden Mallorcan countryside. The course is also very near one of our most exceptional hotels: Son Sabater by Zafiro, a boutique hotel in the heart of rural Sa Pobla, ideal for anyone who prefers slow travel. 

 

 

Mediterranean hedonism 

 

Beauty and enjoyment can guide us into the mindful states that elevate the practice of golf into something deeper. Golf Santa Ponsa offers far more than a course—it’s a sanctuary set in a breathtaking natural landscape, with views of the Tramuntana Mountains and surrounded by some of the most stunning coves in Mallorca’s southwest. Here, charm and entertainment meet in perfect harmony. Its 18-hole main course is spacious and forgiving, ideal for powerful drives and relaxed play.  

 

The club’s laid-back, social atmosphere makes it a favourite for afternoons with friends—where laughter mingles with the sound of tee shots, sunlit conversations fill the space between holes, and post-game snacks at the lovely cafeteria round out the day. Adding to its appeal, the golf school offers special programmes for women, featuring group classes with a light-hearted, inclusive approach. Do you want more? 

  • Large driving range with covered areas
  • Several annual tournaments that foster a community spirit
  • Proximity to the shopping and leisure areas in Santa Ponsa

  

How to get to Golf Santa Ponsa 

 

This exclusive golf club is a 15-minute drive from our Zafiro Palace Palmanova or Zafiro Palmanova hotels, and just 7 minutes from Zafiro Rey Don Jaime. To get to the club, take the MA-1 highway towards Andratx and then exit 17 to Santa Ponça, heading towards the Avinguda del Rei en Jaume. 

 

Each of these four courses offers a distinct and memorable experience. An invitation to step away from routine and embrace a few days of well-deserved peace: stroll across freshly cut greens, listen to the crisp sound of a well-placed shot, and savour the present moment surrounded by nature’s quiet beauty. 

 

With these exceptional golf options near your favourite Zafiro hotel in Mallorca, you can design days that are entirely yours—dedicated to self-care, serenity and the kind of well-being that only this island can provide.
