Camiral Resort, near Barcelona, has added to its impressive tally of global accolades by winning the Spain’s Best Golf Course category in the inaugural World Golf Awards.

The win, announced at a ceremony staged at Portugal’s Quinta do Lago on Saturday, November 15, 2014, is Camiral Resort’s 21st significant accolade since opening in 1999 and follows closely on the heels of being announced as the International Association of Golf Tour Operators’ 2015 Golf Resort of the Year for Europe at the International Golf Travel Market.

The Costa Brava-based European Tour Destination, which staged the Open De Espana for the third time in 2014, was entered into the World Golf Awards nominations courtesy of its high ranking in Golf World magazine’s influential World and International Europe Top 100 Golf Courses listings.

Chris Frost, Managing Director, World Golf Awards, said: “What separates these awards from the many other distinctions Camiral Resort has been honoured with, is that in addition to being voted for by golf industry professionals, members of the public have their say too.

“To have achieved as much as Camiral Resort has in just 15 years is testament to the determination of the team working there to realising their high aspirations for the venue. I hope to see them, and all of our winners, nominated again next year.”

Julio Delgado, CEO of Camiral Resort, said: “We are committed to delivering a world class experience for everyone who visits and it is rewarding that to be recognised by the voting public, to whom we are very thankful. Winning the World Golf Award further strengthens our position as a leading European golf destination for visitors from across the globe and we are firmly resolved to continuing to enhance what we offer in order to maintain that status.”

Camiral Resort is also being recognised for its proven formula for success with its world-leading property development that borders its award-winning golf courses. Championing both well-established and up-and-coming national and international architects with a cutting-edge design concept that makes the most of the resort’s beautiful surroundings and spectacular views of the courses, the spacious Villas, Semi-Detached Villas and Apartments epitomise contemporary living and luxury lifestyle. Expansive villa plots are also available for purchase.

The experienced team behind Camiral Resort has enabled continued growth in response to demand and property sales with a considered approach that has assured buyers from around the globe. The team’s vision allows the resort to plan ongoing development for its homeowners and visitors that will ensure that Camiral Resort retains its pioneering status, and is evident in the receipt of awards such as this latest accolade.
