Resort Overview

Looking for perhaps the most dramatic getaway to the home of golf? Look no further than the Fairmont St. Andrews. Located on 520 acres just 10 minutes away from the Old Course, the Fairmont St. Andrews features some of the most dramatic views and scenery in the region. The resort features two courses of its own: the Torrence, a championship links that has hosted the DP World Tour; and the Kittocks, an outward-and-inward loop known for the astonishing backdrops afforded by its sea-view putting greens. The hotel’s rustic and earthy tones are perfectly complemented by the dramatic views of the North Sea and nearby cliffs. If you’d like even more space, you can opt for an open-planned suite or one of the resort’s manor homes, which are just a short walk from the main building. The resort also features a luxurious spa with ​​aromatherapy steam room, sauna, Jacuzzi, experience showers and 10 treatment rooms.
