Media statements from Spain's tourist office reflects what avid golfers already know. The Balearic Islands are a superb place to golf. Now golf holidays on Menorca, Majorca and other Balearic islands will be highlighted throughout Europe and the UK.
The Ministry plans to infuse 180,000 euros of its tourism budget into pushing Balearic Island golf holidays. The move is in response to reports that indicate over 112,000 tourists visited the Balearic Islands two years ago to play golf. Golf holidays in the Balearic Islands are on the increase.
This is no surprise to locals, or to the many tourists who have golfed the Balearic Islands in recent years. Even the small island of Menorca stands to reap financial benefits from the new push for golf holidays in Spain. It may only be home to one golf course, but it's well worth the time for golfers to include it on their travel itineraries.
Menorca's lone course, the Golf Son Parc, is located just off of Son Parc Beach. The beach has long been one of Menorca's favourite tourist attractions, with its pristine white sand and aqua-marine waters. Players will enjoy warm ocean breezes as they make their rounds of the championship course's 18 holes.
Experience Spain's capital city with 6 nights at the elegant 5-star Hesperia Madrid Hotel, ideally located in the heart of Madrid. Madrid is surrounded by an atmosphere for a zest for life and there is plenty of time to explore the world-famous Plaza Mayor and Puerta del Sol.
