Apulia – Acaya Golf Resort

Nestled between the Adriatic and Ionian Seas, Puglia is a hidden gem for discerning golfers seeking both sport and serenity. With its sun-drenched coastline, ancient olive groves, and a Mediterranean climate that blesses the region with warm weather for much of the year, Puglia offers the perfect setting for a tailor-made golf escape. Here, the game of golf intertwines with a deep-rooted cultural identity and extraordinary natural beauty.

One of the region’s crown jewels is the San Domenico Golf, an 18-hole course that winds its way through ancient olive trees and along the sea, offering stunning views of the Apulian coastline. Another standout is the Acaya Golf Club, set in an unspoiled corner of the countryside just a short drive from the historic city of Lecce. Beyond the fairways, golfers can explore the baroque architecture of Lecce, the iconic trulli houses of Alberobello, and the whitewashed charm of Ostuni, the “White City”. And let’s not forget the local cuisine—fresh seafood, handmade orecchiette, and the region’s renowned olive oil and wines create unforgettable moments at the table.

With a captivating mix of nature, culture, and authentic hospitality, Puglia is a destination where the rhythm slows down and every round of golf is accompanied by the scent of the sea and the golden light of the South.
