OUR HISTORY

Camiral, OUR HISTORY

Camiral, the Quinta do Lago Girona resort, first opened in 1999 and quickly established an international reputation for outstanding quality. For more than two decades, PGA Catalunya Resort, with the revered Stadium Course, has been a golfing pilgrimage. Consistently ranked in the top 10 European golf courses, golfers delight in walking in the footsteps of European greats.

As recent hosts of the DP World Tour, the Stadium Course, complete with its sister course The Tour Course, is a golfing duo representing some of the finest fairways in Europe. And now, in 2024, we step into a new era as Camiral, the Quinta do Lago Girona resort; a place to play golf, to cycle mountains, to sip wine, to zip line, to enjoy family time and to switch off.
