How to Combine Golf with Culture, Wine, and Relaxation

Not all golf holidays are just about the course. Many travellers now want a more rounded experience – whether that’s enjoying a wine tasting after a round of golf, indulging in spa treatments, or exploring local culture and historic landmarks.

At Golf Planet Holidays, we specialise in creating tailor-made trips that offer more than just golf. If you’re looking to combine golf with sightseeing, wine, or wellness, here’s how to plan a trip that keeps everyone happy – from keen golfers to non-golfing partners.

Golf and Wine Holidays: Tee Off and Taste Local Wines

Golf and wine holidays are increasingly popular – and for good reason. Some of the world’s finest golf courses are located in or near wine regions, allowing you to enjoy local vineyards after your game.

Top destinations for golf and wine holidays:

• France: Bordeaux, Burgundy, and the Loire Valley offer excellent courses paired with world-renowned wine.

• Italy: Tuscany and Lake Garda provide stunning landscapes, fantastic food, and local wine experiences.

• South Africa: The Cape Winelands combine championship golf courses with premium wine estates and tastings.

Golf Planet Holidays can organise vineyard visits, wine tastings, and even wine-paired dinners to complement your golf itinerary.

Golf and Spa Breaks: The Perfect Way to Unwind

Golf and spa breaks are ideal for couples or groups where not everyone wants to play every day. A spa day is the perfect complement to a morning round of golf.

Top destinations for golf and spa holidays:

• Portugal: Many golf resorts in the Algarve and Lisbon areas offer excellent spa facilities.

• Madeira: An ideal spot for scenic golf, spa treatments, and relaxed luxury.

Choose a resort with on-site spa facilities to enjoy a post-round massage, sauna, or indoor pool – ideal for recovery and relaxation.

Planning the Perfect Golf and Lifestyle Holiday

To create the right balance between golf and leisure, consider the following tips:

• Choose destinations with both excellent golf and local attractions

• Select resorts offering spa facilities, wine tours, or sightseeing opportunities

• Add non-golf days for exploring or unwinding

• Let Golf Planet Holidays design a customised itinerary tailored to your group’s preferences
