A 10 minutos del aeropuerto internacional de Ginebra, el Jiva Hill Resort le acogerá desde el corazón de una finca privada de 50 hectáreas, con una localización magnífica: a los pies del Jura, frente a la majestuosidad del Mont Blanc. Los edificios, de estilo arquitectónico contemporáneo, dibujan líneas de gran pureza. A través de las amplias vidrieras de las habitaciones se aprecia todo un suntuoso paisaje de montañas que rivaliza con la vista del Mont Blanc que ofrece la terraza panorámica del restaurante. Entre la cocina francesa de tintes modernos y los tratamientos wellness del Sangoma Spa, cuerpo y alma se abandonarán a la tranquilidad y el relax. En el exterior, los greens sintéticos y los 18 puntos de salida de 8 hoyos, que combinan innovación y respeto por la naturaleza, seducirán a los golfistas.
The Jiva Hill Resort has chosen to use artificial turf for all the greens and tees on its golf course. While most courses need to keep their greens in pristine condition, and consume vast amounts of water and “feed and weed” products in doing so, synthetic turf can eliminate these problems at a stroke.
Despite the move being unconventional, the resort has succeeded in making it a differentiator—with the faster pace of the synthetic surfaces offering a challenge, even for more experienced players. What’s more, artificial turf enables golf to be played all year round, avoiding the inconvenience of waterlogging and the risk of damage that players can create during frost.
Jiva Hill’s broader vision is to democratize golf, sometimes seen as an elitist sport. Its course has a thriving permanent membership, operates a golf school for over 100 young people, and regularly hosts taster days to introduce primary children to the sport. It’s a project where leisure and good environmental sense go hand in hand.
