Pakistan | Lahore Defence Raya Golf & Country Club 3-Day Stay

  • If you’re a couple who golfs and spas, the Defence Raya Golf and Country Club is your new zen paradise in lovely Lahore! This is the property that has most surprised me so far in Pakistan and it should be on your radar for a weekend getaway if you’re local or as a homebase during your upcoming visit to Lahore. It’s a wonderful property to bring the whole family, with lots of activities to keep everyone busy. Or if you’re a solo traveller like me, plan for some “me time” at the spa between everything else you get up to. I stayed in a junior suite, tried both their Pakistani and continental cuisine, and indulged in a couple of hours at the Raya Splitends salon and spa.
    You’ll come for the golf and leisure activities but stay for the service, trust me on that one.

    Hello friends :-) Welcome to my 1st country club review in Pakistan, I hope it's helpful if you're thinking of visiting Lahore. I'm in Pakistan for 50 days creating LUXURY TRAVEL CITY GUIDES and visiting areas not yet well documented online. Pakistan is turning out to be even more wonderful than I imagined, and with so much to share all day long:

    I always appreciate a balcony as it makes everything seem so open and this balcony room had a wonderful view as well. Seeing the food portion of the video just makes me so darn jealous. All those beautiful dishes. Wow, lucky you. Even though this hotel more than likely caters to men ... ladies should be very happy staying here as well. I look forward to seeing your next adventure. Stay safe!
