LUMINE Mediterránea Beach & Golf Community
Web: www.Lumine.com
LUMINE Mediterránea Beach&Golf Community is a golfers’ paradise in catalunya golf. Everything here is green: 170 hectares devoted to three golf courses with the 45 newest holes in Spain and two club-houses. Each of these courses gives the player a different experience of golf tarragona or golf barcelona. Not only because of the challenge they pose, but also for their design: the 18 holes of the Lakes Course are fully embedded in Nature, around the wetlands; the 9 holes in the Ruins Course run between archaeological ruins; and from the 18-hole Hills Course, you can view the quarries, pine groves and the sea.
But the most important feature of the LUMINE Golf Club courses is that they have won the Audubon International Gold Signature Sanctuary Certificate. This award recognises the environmentally sustainable model of the LUMINE Golf Club and its responsible management of water.

In order to maintain the highest possible standards of service we are always looking for ways to improve, and who better to rate our performance than the people who book with us?

We always have a large selection of special offers including free places, exclusive offers and great savings available all year round.

- Rewards for your loyalty - We are the only golf travel company that offers you rewards simply for booking your golf holiday with us. Membership is free and enables you to earn Breakpoints every time you book a golf break with us which can be redeemed to reduce the cost of future bookings.
The Breakpoints rewards programme is run in partnership with Teeofftimes.co.uk, the online discount tee time service, and our new sister company BookaSpa.com, who offer the same scheme on their websites. So you can use your Breakpoints from golf holiday bookings to get money off tee times or spa breaks, or you can use points accumulated from tee times or spa breaks to redeem against golf holidays.
