Where nature meets golf:
In this little corner of France, where the Pyrénées meet the Mediterranean Sea, nature seduces the senses. Away from the beaches, although they are not so far, the wild romantic hinterland is a paradise for nature lovers and outdoor enthusiasts.
Discovering the 18-hole golf course, Domaine de Falgos (please, contact owner for more details or any link), is an experience in itself. The views of the mountains from that altitude are, quite simply, stunning. On the border of Spain, the 5177m2 course is set within some of the best natural obstacles, the mountains, which will surely test your golfing abilities. In addition to the golf, the club also offers a variety of spa treatments, and other facilities such as a swimming pool and gym. The spa caters to your well-being, both physically and spiritually. The many treatments, massages, lymphatic drainage, reflexology, facials and body wraps, are all designed to promote relaxation.
