Golf Holidays in the Algarve

The Algarve:
a popular golfing destination

Located at the southern end of Portugal, protected by mountains to the north and bordered by the Atlantic Ocean to the south, the Algarve is undoubtedly the country’s most touristy region.
With its red and ochre lands, its arid landscapes, the Algarve is the southernmost region of Portugal. Reefs and white sand form real coves lined with picturesque white houses with small Moorish-style chimneys.
The Algarve enjoys a Mediterranean climate, meaning a very pleasant climate throughout the year.

Slightly further west, two resort golf complexes also contribute to the Algarve’s reputation: Vale Do Lobo Resort, Golf Oceanico Victoria, and Pestana Vila Sol (27 holes).
