Spas for couples: eleven hotels where one plays and the other unwinds (or both do)

7 min read

For two, in a suite of more than 36 square metres with a private steam bath and tub: at the Almar spa on the Jesolo seafront, the “Private Spa” is designed for couples, and it is not the only golf hotel with spaces or hours set aside for those travelling as a pair.

A golf holiday for two raises a practical question: what does the non-player do, and what do both do after the round? The most common answer, in upscale hotels, is the spa for two: a private suite, a reserved time slot, a tub in a villa. Here are the golf hotels that declare spa spaces or services designed for couples: private spas, spas reserved by the hour, treatments for two, villas with a private tub and sauna.

Prices vary by season and rate: it is best to ask the hotel directly.

Private spas: Almar, Rimini, Lazise

The private spa formula is the easiest to grasp: a space you book and that, for the chosen time, is yours alone. At the Almar Jesolo, the “Private Spa” is a suite of more than 36 m² with a private steam bath and tub; access to the hotel spa is allowed from age 16. The 2,000 m² spa has a glass tunnel leading to the 70-metre outdoor pool. For golf, guests get discounted green fees, booked through the Concierge, at the Golf Club Jesolo and at two other clubs.

At the Grand Hotel Rimini, the Dolce Vita Spa has a heated remineralised pool, sauna and steam bath, plus a bookable Private Spa. Facial treatments use Dr Barbara Sturm's line, massages the Diabasi method; it is best to book them 24 hours ahead. The golf package includes two green fees per person at the Rimini Verucchio Golf Club.

On the Veronese side of Lake Garda, the Quellenhof Lazise has a 2,000 m² spa with separate areas for adults and families, an adults-only rooftop sky pool heated all year round, and a Private Spa Suite for couples. The hotel has no course of its own.

A time slot just for you: Marlena

At the Parkhotel Marlena, for adults aged 14 and over, the spa can be booked in the evening, from 8:30 to 10:30 pm, reserved for a single couple, with sparkling wine and fruit (ask the hotel for the cost). It is the simplest solution for anyone who wants a “private” spa without a dedicated suite. The hotel also has 1,000 m² of wellness, seven types of sauna and a panoramic pool overlooking the park, open from April to October. The Golf Club Lana, nine holes dating from 1998, was founded and is run, according to the hotel, by the owning family.

Vita Lenta and couples' cryotherapy: Alassio and Saturnia

In Alassio, the Thalassio Medical Spa has nine treatment rooms, one for couples, and a novelty: the Vita Lenta suite, with private sauna and couples' massage. The hotel lists Garlenda about ten minutes away by car.

At Terme di Saturnia, the Golf Inclusive package (minimum two nights) includes a couples' cryotherapy session, and the Garden Junior Suites, all on the ground floor, have a private thermal-water tub in a secluded garden. The course is at the resort.

Private villas in Val Passiria

Those seeking privacy in the room rather than in the spa have two addresses in Val Passiria. At the Quellenhof See Lodge, reserved for guests aged 14 and over, the See-Villen have a private pool with whirlpool on the terrace and a Finnish sauna; the See-Suiten have a whirlpool tub, sauna and direct lake access. At the Andreus, the Sky wing, opened in summer 2025, has villas with private pool, whirlpool and sauna; the Passeier.Meran is at the resort.

A spa by the hour: Villa Cipriani

At Villa Cipriani, in Asolo, the sauna and steam bath, in the Sothys wellness area, are booked by the hour, with a charge per room. It is an in-between formula: not a suite, but a space you can have to yourselves. The heated panoramic infinity pool is open daily in summer.

Two more addresses for adults

For those seeking an environment without children, the Golf Lodge of Andreus Resorts is adults-only, has just 35 rooms and suites and 4,000 m² of wellness (with a 28-metre infinity pool, a natural swimming pond, a saltwater rooftop pool and a 50 m² outdoor whirlpool); guests also have access to the wellness areas of the other two Andreus hotels, 13,000 m² in all. At Posia, on the seafront at San Foca, in Salento, the heated rooftop infinity pool is reserved for adults and used by reservation, with a limited number of guests; the spa has a wet circuit with an indoor pool at 34 °C and a Japanese garden, and some ground-floor rooms have a private mini pool, unheated. The hotel books tee times at the Acaya Golf Club, 15 minutes away by car according to the hotel.
