Book Camiral a Quinta do Lago Resort with VIP Benefits

The hotel is inland, with gardens and golf-course views rather than a beach at the doorstep. That setting gives mornings a different pace from a coastal holiday. You can spend the day on the grounds, then head into Girona for its historic quarter and restaurants. Barcelona and the coves of the Costa Brava offer longer excursions when you want a change of scene.

Girona-Costa Brava Airport is close to the resort, and the road connections make arrival practical for a short break. Once here, the hotel feels distinctly contemporary. Broad windows connect its interiors to the landscaped grounds, while textured fabrics, wood and locally inspired details give the rooms a warmer character than the clean exterior first suggests.

Deluxe Rooms look onto the Mediterranean-style gardens through panoramic windows. At approximately 32 square meters, they include a sitting area and a choice of king or twin beds. The bathrooms have hand-painted Spanish tiles, a bathtub and a separate rain shower. These are useful rooms for a stay built around time outdoors, without losing a comfortable place to sit when you return.

Superior Deluxe Rooms add a private balcony overlooking the Tour Course, with the Pyrenees in the background. Their approximately 32-square-meter interiors are complemented by a six-square-meter terrace. The distinction is as much about the outlook as the extra outdoor space. A balcony gives you somewhere to have a quiet coffee before joining the rest of the resort.

Camiral Superior Deluxe Rooms face the hotel's pool and gardens. Natural textures and soft tones accompany floor-to-ceiling windows, a convertible king bed and a private terrace. Their walk-in shower gives the bathroom a different feel from the bath-and-shower arrangement in the other Deluxe categories. For travelers who spend more time beside the pool than on the course, this outlook may be particularly appealing.

The Junior Suites have individual layouts, private terraces and separate living and sleeping areas. Oak furniture and richly textured fabrics give them a more residential feel. The variation matters here: outdoor space and room proportions differ between suites. Rather than simply adding floor area, these rooms provide somewhere to read, dine or spend an evening away from the bedroom.

Bryan O'Sullivan Studio shaped the Camiral Suites around natural oak and diffuse lighting. A kitchenette and dining space sit alongside a living area that can become an exercise space, with yoga mats and fitness balls among the wellness amenities. The balcony adds an outdoor retreat. Direct access to the Wellness Centre makes these suites especially relevant when treatments and movement are central to the trip.

Duplex Suites offer approximately 95 square meters, with generous sitting areas, floor-to-ceiling windows and a pull-out sofa bed. The Duplex Superior category has a private balcony and a choice of king or twin beds. For a larger party, the two-bedroom Presidential Suite spreads across two levels, with separate living and dining areas, two bathrooms and a large terrace. Its dining table seats six, allowing a family or small party to gather comfortably.

Families also have a more straightforward connecting-room option. The Family Rooms join one king bedroom and one twin bedroom, with two full bathrooms and a living area. Keeping the sleeping spaces separate is valuable when children settle earlier than their parents. Children's amenities add a practical touch, while the connected layout keeps everyone together without making the bedrooms a shared sleeping space.

Golf is the main reason many guests come. Camiral has two courses, the Stadium Course and the Tour Course, both within the resort. Neil Coles and Angel Gallardo shaped their layouts around the landscape. The Stadium Course has hosted the Spanish Open and the Catalunya Championship, and its demanding holes give experienced golfers a substantial challenge among trees and water.

The Tour Course offers a different rhythm and can be more forgiving. Pine-lined fairways and lakes keep it scenic, while its European Tour Qualifying School history gives it sporting substance of its own. The Golf Hub adds a grass practice tee, putting and chipping areas, Trackman shot analysis and equipment fitting. Coaching at the PGA National Academy gives practice sessions a purpose beyond warming up for the next round.

The Wellness Centre gives non-golfers a reason to make the hotel their destination, too. Its menu includes personalized massages, body rituals and technology-led treatment options, alongside the Thermal Pavilion water area. The emphasis on individual programs allows a wellness stay to take a different shape from a brief spa visit. Treatments, fitness and time in the surrounding woods can all be part of the same day.

Hotel Camiral has its own 20-meter outdoor pool and sunbathing area, as well as a gym. Cycling routes and guided bike tours open up the countryside beyond the fairways, and tennis and padel add alternatives to golf. For a couple with different interests, these choices make it easy to spend part of the day apart and meet again over lunch or dinner.

Origin Restaurant gives dinner a distinctly Catalan focus, using local ingredients in a seasonal set menu within an intimate room. Camiral Bistro takes a more casual approach, with brasa-style cooking, fresh fish, chargrilled meats and Mediterranean vegetables. The Lounge Bar provides another place to settle in at the hotel, while The Club Cafe brings a relaxed dining stop to a golf day.

Golf and wellness may bring guests to Camiral, but the region adds the texture: Girona's old town, local produce, coastal villages and the landscape between the Pyrenees and the Mediterranean. A day exploring the city's streets or the coast can sit comfortably between rounds and treatments. Back at the hotel, a terrace, a separate sitting room or a garden-facing window gives the evening its own quieter setting.
