The 360 View of Pestana Vila Sol

We recommend Pestana Vila Sol to golfers who want to stay close to the course and enjoy a relaxed pace between rounds. Having golf on site makes it possible to build much of your holiday around the resort, with time afterwards for the pool, a meal or practice.

The choice between accommodation in the main hotel and rooms or suites around the gardens is worth considering when booking. Tell us whether you prefer convenient access to the central facilities or a garden setting, along with any twin-bed or mobility requirements.

The marina and beach are reached by road. If walking to restaurants every evening is important to your group, our Vilamoura hotel comparison will help you compare the different locations.

Why Choose Pestana Vila Sol for a Golf Break?

• 27 holes of Donald Steel-designed golf on site
• Driving range, practice facilities and golf academy
• A choice of hotel and garden accommodation
• Outdoor pools, an indoor heated pool and fitness facilities
• Options for couples, golf groups and families
• The opportunity to combine Vila Sol with other Algarve courses in a tailored itinerary

Golf at Pestana Vila Sol

Vila Sol Golf Course comprises three nine-hole loops: Prime, Challenge and Prestige. An 18-hole round combines two loops, with the allocated combination confirmed through your golf booking.

The mature, tree-lined setting rewards thoughtful shot placement. Lakes, bunkers and changes in the fairways give you reasons to consider position carefully from the tee. Choose suitable tees for your ability and leave time to warm up before your round.

The academy and driving range are useful if you want to practise during your stay or arrange a lesson. Let us know if you require tuition, hire clubs, trolleys or buggies so availability and additional costs can be checked.

Playing Other Courses During Your Stay

For variety, consider adding Old Course Vilamoura, Pinhal, Millennium or Laguna. Our Vilamoura golf course guide explains how the local layouts differ.

The former Victoria Golf Course is now The Els Club Vilamoura, a private members’ club. Any proposed round there requires separate confirmation of visitor eligibility and tee-time availability.

If you want to include other Pestana courses elsewhere in the Algarve, ask us to compare a multi-course itinerary. Allow for longer road journeys to courses in the western Algarve, with the named rounds and transport arrangements confirmed in your quote.
