The Perfect Golf Course on Mallorca: The Island's Finest Fairways for Your Private Retreat

Mallorca is one of the most versatile golf destinations in Europe. More than twenty courses are spread across the island — from long-established clubs around Palma to spectacular coastal courses in the northeast. Its mild Mediterranean climate, short distances, and extraordinary variety of landscapes make Mallorca especially appealing to travellers who wish to combine golf with privacy, fine dining, and a stay with real style.

With a handpicked villa or finca from firstclass holidays, it becomes a journey whose rhythm you set yourself: an early tee time, a late breakfast on the terrace, an afternoon by the private pool, and in the evening a dinner prepared by your Private Chef in the villa.

What Makes Mallorca a Special Golf Destination

Few other Mediterranean islands combine such a wealth of golf courses with so rich a culture of villas.

Each region has its own distinct character. In the southwest, elegant residential areas, marinas, and some of the island's most celebrated courses lie close together. The northeast captivates with open landscapes and striking views of the sea. Around Palma, meanwhile, golfers enjoy short distances and a wide choice of restaurants, galleries, and shops.

The best times to visit for a Golf holiday on Mallorca are usually spring and autumn. The temperatures are pleasant, the landscape is at its greenest, and even longer rounds can be played in comfort. In the summer months, early tee times are advisable, before the midday heat sets in.

Mallorca's Golf Regions

The Southwest: Son Vida, Bendinat, Santa Ponsa, and Andratx

The southwest is Mallorca's most elegant and cosmopolitan region. Here you'll find some of the island's most storied golf courses, among them Son Vida, together with the neighbouring Son Muntaner and Son Quint courses.

Real Golf de Bendinat lies nestled in a hilly landscape near Palma and Portals Nous. Further west, Golf de Andratx offers a varied and, in places, demanding round amid Mediterranean vegetation.

The region is especially suited to guests who wish to combine golf with restaurants, beach clubs, marinas, and short distances to Palma. Villas in Son Vida, Port d'Andratx, Bendinat, or Santa Ponsa provide just the right private setting.

Palma and the South: Son Gual, T Golf Palma, and Son Antem

The area around Palma is home to several courses that impress as much for their easy accessibility as for their distinct characters of play.

Son Gual ranks among Mallorca's most demanding courses, known for its generous design and meticulously kept fairways. T Golf Palma is likewise conveniently placed for the capital and the airport. Further south, the two courses at Son Antem offer a relaxed resort atmosphere.

This region is ideal for shorter stays, or for guests who wish to pair their rounds of golf with culture, shopping, and dining in Palma.

The Northeast: Alcanada, Canyamel, Capdepera, and Pula

The northeast of Mallorca has a quiet, unspoilt atmosphere. The landscape is more open, the coast more dramatic, and the golf courses more closely woven into their natural surroundings.

Club de Golf Alcanada, with its view over the Bay of Alcúdia and the lighthouse on the islet just offshore, is among the most striking courses on the island. Canyamel and Capdepera offer varied fairways winding between hills, pines, and Mediterranean vegetation. Pula Golf rounds out the region with a course of a more athletic bent.

For this part of the island, private country houses and fincas are the natural choice — combining tranquillity, generous outdoor spaces, and good access to the courses.

The North: Golf Pollensa and the Quieter Side of Mallorca

Golf Pollensa is a smaller course set amid the landscape of northern Mallorca. It lends itself especially to a relaxed round and pairs well with a stay around Pollensa, Alcúdia, or the Formentor peninsula.

The north appeals to guests in search of a quieter Mallorca — one of traditional villages, mountain scenery, and an understated, authentic atmosphere.

Green Fees, Tee Times, and Handicap

Green fees, handicap requirements, and booking conditions vary from course to course and from season to season. In spring and autumn especially, it is worth reserving your preferred tee times well in advance.

As part of our concierge service, we check the current conditions on your behalf, reserve your desired tee times, and — should you wish — coordinate golf luggage, transfers, and rental cars.

Die passende Villa für Ihren Golfurlaub

The choice of accommodation determines how relaxed each day of golf can be.

A villa in Son Vida allows short distances to several courses and, at the same time, a quick connection to Palma. Port d'Andratx and the southwest suit guests who wish to combine golf with marinas, restaurants, and beach clubs. In the northeast, spacious fincas offer greater tranquillity and immediate access to Mallorca's unspoilt landscape.

The villas and fincas selected by firstclass holidays offer privacy, distinctive architecture, and a personal service that adapts to the rhythm of your day.

While your chauffeur takes you to the course, your Private Chef can already be preparing lunch. Massage treatments, restaurant reservations, boat excursions, or a restful day by the pool can all be woven into your stay to suit you.
