Two golf routes through Italy aboard the La Dolce Vita Orient Express – cabins with real character, Heinz Beck's cuisine, and four golf courses between Piedmont and Tuscany.
Most people picture Tuscany as Chianti and packed piazzas in August. The Argentario Golf & Wellness Resort belongs to a different, quieter, wilder Tuscany – the Maremma, as it looked before it became famous, now with Italy's only PGA-licensed golf course.
Carinthia has a rhythm you can't quite explain, only recognise once you've been there: lakes that turn turquoise against the mountains, a cuisine shaped by three countries, and golf courses you forget the moment you reach the next tee, because the view outshines everything.
Styria isn't just around the corner, but that's exactly what makes Austria's southern province one of the most rewarding golf destinations in the German-speaking world: first-class courses, untouched mountain scenery and outstanding food.
There are golf trips you're still talking about years later: Andalusian sea air over the fairways of Sotogrande, or the Zugspitze at your back as Chef Thomas Strasser plates the evening menu. We've got both — and honestly, we can't choose either.
What if your next fine-dining experience took place not in a restaurant, but aboard a floating Swiss grand hotel, somewhere between the Rhine and the Danube, between Lyon and Budapest?
Today we bring you two worlds and one feeling: having time. The Finca Cortesin in Andalusia stands for high luxury, with a golf course that blends drama and design. The Hotel Tanne in the Black Forest offers down-to-earth comfort, forest air, hearty food and the world's only treehouse sauna.
Welcome back aboard. Excellence Cruises shows how golf travel can be relaxed and refined, with less stress and more genuine enjoyment. At the MY MAYR MED Resort, golfers find the perfect reset — medically grounded, practical and geared towards real results.
Aruba, the smallest of the three ABC Islands, pairs 27-degree warmth and white sand beaches with scenery beyond Caribbean cliché: palms and divi-divi trees meet desert cacti and striking rock formations, wrapped in the island spirit that makes Aruba so distinctive.
Belek is no secret anymore, and if you love golf, you probably already know it. But the Kempinski Hotel The Dome still surprises seasoned travellers with new Lagoon Golf Suites and Sultan Villas on the PGA Sultan Course, plus discounted greenfee packages that round off the experience.
2026 is still young — and the ideal moment to rethink your travel plans. Golf, indulgence, time, and the freedom to do things differently. In this issue: the Algarve's Ombria Golf Resort, plus a completely different way to travel for golf, by river.
Sometimes it's not what we own, but the moments that stay with us — luxury has many faces. Whether or not you play golf, here are the loveliest luxury destinations for the year ahead, from a starlit dinner in the African bush to a private art museum before you even check in.
Christmas is exactly 36 days away. And you might be asking yourself the same question we are: what could truly delight the golfer in your life? We've found a rather creative idea!
Looking for a place where winter is a playing partner rather than an opponent? Meet the Hotel Riml in Hochgurgl, where a passion for golf, piste happiness, award-winning cuisine and wellness come together perfectly — winter golf included.
The Algarve is every golfer's evergreen destination – sea-view drives, Mediterranean indulgence and reliable sunshine. Portugal always keeps its promise: golf and pleasure, with no chance for the winter blues.
If you want to experience South Africa in real luxury, combine the four Royal Portfolio properties into one seamless journey — from Cape Town's urban chic to a Kruger safari.
Sometimes nature shows you exactly what you're looking for. Golf, wine, cuisine and five characterful hotels on the Costa Brava and in the Pyrenees of Girona — host region for the Ryder Cup 2031.
As summer eases into a golden autumn, Tuscany shows its quietest, warmest side. The "Golfin' Tuscany" package pairs three rounds on the PGA National Italy Course with breakfast, spa and more.
Think you've seen it all? Chances are you've never teed off at Leopard Creek watching zebras graze, or stowed your golf bag aboard one of the world's most stylish trains. South Africa is today's tip, where safari and golf become moments that last a lifetime.
When summer begins to quieten, two islands still play at full volume: Mallorca and Sicily. Different as they are, both stretch your summer a little further south, hole by hole.
Sun, lake and a formula for happiness: as summer fades, it's time for an autumn that keeps glowing - a spot where the sun simply shines longer, with the golf course just a tee shot away, at Hotel & Spa Sonne on the Klopeiner See in southern Carinthia.
Golf or safari - two experiences that seem worlds apart. Combine them the right way in South Africa, and you won't have to choose between birdies and the Big Five at all.
Two worlds, one drive: more energy and focus. A golfing break with a guaranteed toque-rated dinner – plus a smart tip for giving your body what it truly needs: targeted longevity supplements to bring your handicap to the next level.
Today it's all about teeing off with a view and soul. Two very different trips share one thing: style, a passion for golf and that certain something far from the ordinary — from lakeside bliss in Carinthia to Excellence's golf river cruises.
Anyone who thinks the Zugspitze belongs to Bavaria alone has probably never stood on the other side of the mountain – in Tyrol, in Lermoos, at 1,004 metres above sea level, with a small slice of golfing bliss in between.
Nine kilometres of golden sand meet Mediterranean ease, historic flavour and sporting lightness in Cervia. Sure, you could just lie by the sea, but Emilia-Romagna offers far more, including a top golf course flying under the radar.
Beautiful hotels with great golf on the doorstep aren't rare. Add two Michelin stars, four Gault & Millau toques and fine dining beside the fairway, and things get truly exciting: welcome to the Öschberghof.
Top-class golf courses and Austria – that's a hole in one, but there's much more to discover than you might think. Why Austria of all places? Because breathtaking mountain panoramas meet modern hideaways, award-winning cuisine meets legendary fairways, and stylish golf hotels meet pure relaxation.
Hola, buenos días or buenas tardes... Mucho gusto! When it's grey and cold at home, Mallorca and Marbella are barely 2.5 hours away, with sunshine, top golf courses, and the season's finest hotel inspirations.
