Golf & Spa Vacations: Planning the Perfect His & Hers Getaway
If you and your partner are looking for the ultimate blend of relaxation and recreation, a golf and spa vacation offers the best of both worlds. These trips are perfect for couples where one or both partners enjoy teeing off—and both appreciate a little pampering. In this week’s blog, we’ll show you how to plan a romantic and rejuvenating golf getaway that leaves you both refreshed and reconnected.
1. Choose the Right Destination
The secret to a great his & hers trip is choosing a destination that delivers world-class golf and world-class wellness. Look for:
Resorts with award-winning golf courses and full-service spas
Destinations offering scenic beauty and romantic ambiance
Properties with suite or villa accommodations for added privacy
Top Picks:
Kapalua Resort, Maui – Championship oceanfront golf + island spa serenity
The Broadmoor, Colorado Springs – Mountain views, luxurious spa, and historic charm
Casa de Campo, Dominican Republic – Caribbean beach resort with spa and Pete Dye golf
Sea Island Resort, Georgia – Coastal elegance, holistic spa treatments, and multiple golf courses
2. Build a Balanced Itinerary
Create a schedule that blends golf with shared downtime:
Tee off in the morning while spa appointments are booked mid-morning or afternoon
Plan couples' spa treatments like massages, facials, or hydrotherapy circuits
Leave time for sunset cocktails, beach walks, and fine dining
📌 Pro Tip: Ask about “His & Hers” spa packages—many resorts offer bundled treatments for two.
3. Accommodate Different Interests
You don’t both have to play golf (or love the spa) to enjoy the trip. Make space for:
Golf instruction or clinics for beginners who want to try it out
Cooking classes, yoga sessions, or wine tastings offered at many resorts
Excursions like catamaran cruises, hiking, or cultural tours for variety
📌 Pro Tip: Mix in one full day with no structured plans—sometimes the best memories are made when you just relax.
4. Maximize Value with Packages
Look for couples’ vacation packages that include:
Spa credits or included treatments
Unlimited or multi-round golf access
Dining vouchers or meal plans
Romantic extras like champagne on arrival or private dinners
📌 Pro Tip: Booking through a travel advisor can unlock upgrades or resort perks not advertised to the public.
5. Capture the Experience
Don’t forget to document your trip! Bring:
A quality camera or smartphone for photos on the course and at the spa
Matching polos or robes for fun “his & hers” pics
A travel journal or shared digital album to reflect on the memories
Final Thoughts: Shared Luxury, Your Way
Golf and spa vacations offer a perfect way to unwind, reconnect, and explore a shared rhythm of adventure and relaxation. Whether you're celebrating a milestone or just escaping the routine, the right resort and thoughtful planning can turn a simple trip into something truly special.
