From gentle sweeps of Mediterranean coastline to chic spa retreats nestled inland, these destinations blend sport, scenery, gastronomy, and intimacy into the perfect romantic escape.
AR Golf Almerimar — Andalucía, Spain: Passion on the Southern Coast
Imagine kicking off Valentine’s Day with a sunrise over fairways that stretch toward the Mediterranean. AR Golf Almerimar in southern Spain has crafted a Valentine’s Day package (available mid‑February) that goes far beyond ordinary golf vacations.

Le Touquet‑Paris‑Plage — Northern France: Timeless Elegance Meets Championship Golf
Just a short escape from Paris, the wind‑blown dunes and forests of Le Touquet‑Paris‑Plage offer a Valentine’s weekend that’s as much about ambience as golf. The Manoir Hôtel beckons with a romantic dinner and champagne, while the nearby Golf du Touquet (ranked among the Top 100 golf destinations in the world) invites couples to stroll scenic fairways together. In winter, this northern gem is quieter, cosier, and ideal for lovers who want time for conversation over long walks and long putts alike.
Domaine de Terre Blanche — Provence, France: Luxury, Lavender, and Fairways
In the heart of Provence, hidden amid rolling hills, Domaine de Terre Blanche Hotel Spa Golf Resort combines the romance of the French countryside with two championship golf courses, Michelin‑level dining, and world‑class spa treatments.

Whether you’re sharing sunset aperitifs on a terrace or teeing off with panoramic views, this is a Valentine’s escape that feels unforgettable and exclusive.
Algarve, Portugal — Sunshine, Waves, and World‑Class Golf
Though not tied to a specific Valentine’s package, southern Portugal’s Algarve region is one of Europe’s most beloved golf destinations, especially in winter and early spring when much of the continent sleeps under frost. Courses like those at Penina Hotel & Golf Resort — the Algarve’s original golf destination — offer gentle breezes, sunshine, and dramatic landscapes where red earth meets green fairways. Portuguese golf resorts consistently rank among Europe’s top courses, blending seaside charm with great climate and first‑rate hospitality.
Central European Spa‑and‑Golf Escapes — Czech Republic and Beyond
For couples who love the idea of mixing golf with wellness, smaller but beautifully charming resorts like Parkhotel Golf on the edge of the Czech spa town of Mariánské Lázně provide an ideal blend of nature, romance, and recreation. With packages that include candlelit dinners, welcome prosecco, and access to cosy spa facilities, these venues create a leisurely Valentine’s atmosphere perfect for reconnecting off the course.
Beyond the Fairways: Tips for a Romantic Golf Valentine’s in Europe
Europe’s romantic golf getaways are about more than birdies. They’re about shared experiences — watching dawn light up green horizons, exploring regional cuisines together, wandering historic towns, and relaxing side‑by‑side at a spa after a day on the course.
- Timing matters: Mid‑February destinations in southern Europe (Spain, Portugal, southern France) generally offer the best weather for golf and exploring outdoors.
- Combine culture and courses: Places like Provence, the Costa del Sol, and even northern French seaside towns like Le Touquet give you beautiful landscapes and charming local life to explore.
- Think beyond golf: Romantic dinners, spa treatments, and scenic walks turn a golf trip into a couples’ retreat.
Whether it’s toasting with Champagne after a round in Le Touquet, savouring Spanish cuisine near Almerimar’s greens, or basking in Portugal’s mild winter sunshine, Europe’s most romantic golf spots promise much more than a game — they offer the kind of shared moments that love stories are made of.
