Play Golf In The Algarve - Besides the top reasons listed below, there are many other reasons why Algarve golf vacations are chosen as a preferred option for a trip aboard. Whatever the reason, we can help by putting together tailored golf packages, including Algarve all-inclusive golf holidays, which are very popular.

1. The Golf Courses

There are over 25 top-class golf courses in the Algarve.  Some legendary names have designed courses in this region, such as Nick Faldo, Seve Ballesteros, Jack Nicklaus and Christy O’Connor Jnr.  Our favourite – The Old Course in Vilamoura. Some of the best golf courses in Portugal are located here.

2. The Weather:

The Algarve boasts over 300 days of sunshine a year!  Blessed with mild winters and summertime temperatures averaging 25c – 30c.  The Algarve weather averages 12 hours of sunshine a day in the summer and 6 hours in the winter. As our team mentions to customers, this is why Portugal golfing holidays are so popular.

 

3. Stunning Beaches:

Our view is that you will struggle to find a better choice of beaches in Europe.  Praia do Ancao near Quinta do Lago is an endless golden beach with facilities for the family.  Our favourite is Praia da Marinha near Porches, nominated by the Michelin guide with stunning rocky outcrops.

4. Nightlife:

If it’s a more vibrant break you require, then golf holidays in Vilamoura are what we would recommend.  The number of restaurants, bars and live music venues is sure to cater for your group’s needs. We like the Zu Yi Chinese restaurant, followed by the Purobeach beach bar.

 

5. Luxurious Hotels:

We like Penina Golf Resort which is family-friendly and has superb championship golf on-site.  For a relaxing and luxurious break, then we would recommend the Dona Filipa Hotel at Vale do Lobo, located by the Ocean and surrounded by stunning golf courses.
