GOLF
Carved out of the dense Mayan Jungle, the Robert Von Hagge designed 18-hole championship golf course is among the luz foliage of the Yucatan Peninsula and only a few hundred yards away from the crystal-clear, turquoise ocean, and the fine white sands of the Mexican Caribbean Sea.

Recognized as one of the top golf courses in the World, the Playacar Spa & Golf Club is located in the Playa del Carmen hotel zone known as Playacar, just 35 miles south of Cancun International Airport. This magnificent golf course, par 72 with a distance of 7,144 yards is considered the most challenging course in the region.

Revitalize your senses in the minimalist design of our luxurious, serene spa overlooking the Robert Von Hagge designed greens. Our exquisite spa offers an array of relaxing and revitalizing treatments, from soothing massages, nourishing sea fango wraps, to relaxing footbaths, and hydrating facials. Rejuvenate on your own or share this spa experience with your loved one in one in one of our spacious spa suites.

Our "all inclusive" system offers transportation from different points of Cancun and the Riviera Maya, as well as food and beverages at the Club House, snacks along the course or just a refreshing dip at the pool.

Other services include rental clubs, practice range, putting and chipping greens, locks, showers, clubs storage, lessons and merchandise.
