Perched on the sun-soaked coast of Catalonia, Infinitum has become one of Europe’s most complete golf destinations – a 45-hole playground of immaculate turf, luxurious amenities, and technical variety that rewards both touring professionals and casual players.
While the resort’s restaurants, beach club and residential offering polish its lifestyle credentials, make no mistake, golf remains the heartbeat of the venue.
The layout in the spotlight over the last 12 months has been the Hills Course, where the terrain shifts from wetlands to pine-covered ridges and rolling valleys, boasting exactly the kind of stunning ocean vistas you’d expect from a coastal layout with this name.
Here, Spanish architect Alfonso Vidaor sculpted a layout that feels both natural and cinematic. Elevated tees unveil sweeping views of the Mediterranean, and each hole ramps up the tension – just imagine the pressure players must feel when their DP World Tour Qualifying School push reaches its final 18 holes on this very course.

The Hills, which is now halfway through a major renovation that promises to cement its place in the upper echelons of European golf, rewards creativity: bump-and-runs that chase up banks, fades that follow the contours of the land and putts that challenge your nerve on undulating greens.
The back nine is the half that has been refurbished so far and that is never more apparent than on the closing hole, which now delivers a crescendo of scenery and shot making thanks to the addition of an island green set to the backdrop of a looming quarry. For many, this could easily be the most dramatic 18th hole they ever play.
However, it must not be forgotten that the Lakes course – another of Infinitum’s signature championship tracks and arguably one of Spain’s most impressive tests in general – underwent a renovation of its own only two years ago.

Designed by multiple Major winner Greg Norman, it meanders through the protected Sèquia Major wetlands, a landscape of lagoons and reed-fringed ponds that double as ecological sanctuaries. It’s a thinking golfer’s course – broad fairways framed by water hazards that call for precise shot placement rather than brute strength.
Each hole feels distinct, aided by the shimmering reflections of the wetlands and the subtle movement of the breeze coming off the nearby shore. Like the Hills, it’s no surprise the DP World Tour uses the Lakes for Qualifying School Final Stage – and amateur players will also find it in tournament-ready condition, even if they don’t opt for the championship tees. Despite its challenge, the routing is generous enough to welcome higher-handicap players.
Completing Infinitum’s trilogy is the Ruins Course, a nine-hole gem laid out among archaeological remains from Roman times. Don’t make the mistake of assuming this nine-hole course is automatically an easy round – plenty of regulars will tell you that they find this the hardest layout on the property.
Few European resorts invest as heavily in practice infrastructure as Infinitum. The resort’s golf academy features state-of-the-art bays, TrackMan analysis, short-game zones built to Tour standards, and a Callaway Performance Centre. A multilingual team of coaches caters to beginners and elite amateurs alike, making the academy a hub for player development.
The twin clubhouses – one overlooking the Hills’ climactic hole, the other beside the still waters of the Lakes – blend function with sophistication. Locker rooms resemble boutique spas, while terrace bars host the kind of post-round chatter that any great golf community needs.
The resort’s attention to detail – from crisp yardage books to flawless greenkeeping – leaves you in no uncertain terms that this is an operation run with professional precision.
The resort’s dual identity of Catalan authenticity paired with international polish is never more apparent than in its culinary offering. The Lakehouse Bistrot serves fresh Mediterranean cuisine beside the water, while The Hills Terrace emphasizes open-fire cooking with panoramic views across the course and sea.
Down at the coast, the award-winning Beach Club’s Flamma and Gusto restaurants deliver a lighter, sun-soaked vibe – seafood, tapas and wine with the ocean itself in full view. Together they create a rhythm of dining that feels casual by day and cosmopolitan by night.
Infinitum’s residential portfolio extends the resort lifestyle beyond simply being for holidays. A mix of apartments and villas blend minimalist architecture with sun-drenched terraces and views across fairways or the sea. With new phases under construction in 2025 and beyond, Infinitum’s model of combining golf, leisure and property investment is maturing into one of Spain’s most refined integrated communities.
