Let’s look at some of our top golf courses and hotels in the Algarve to help you plan the perfect golf vacation.
Anantara Vilamoura Resort
Set on the edge of the Dom Pedro Victoria Golf Course, Anantara Vilamoura is a peaceful getaway just a 10-minute drive from Vilamoura Marina, and 5 minutes from the beautiful Falésia Beach. It has a heated outdoor pool open from October to May, perfect for a relaxing swim during your winter golf break.
Named “Best International Resort 2023” by Condé Nast Traveler Spain, Anantara Vilamoura is an exceptional 5 star resort. With 260 rooms, 3 restaurants, 5 swimming pools and spa to relax in after your round, there is something for everyone.
The nearby Dom Pedro Golf courses include some of the finest in Portugal, with the Victoria on site (which is temporarily closed until Spring 2025 for renovations), the Millennium and Laguna courses only 5 minutes away. A short complimentary shuttle journey away are the Dom Pedro Pinhal Golf Course, and probably the most well known Dom Pedro Old Course, known locally as the “Grande Dame”.
Domes Lake Algarve
A stunning 5 star resort in Vilamoura, the Domes Lake Algarve resort connects directly to the beach and Marina, and boasts a private lake, gardens, spa, an indoor pool and 3 outdoor pools; providing a lot of options to relax between rounds!

A short 20 minute shuttle away from Domes Lake are the world renowed Vale do Lobo golf courses, with some of the most spectacular ocean side holes and views you will ever see!
The Ocean Course is actually two original 9 hole courses designed by Sir Henry Cotton, which have been merged to create an unforgettable ocean side course. Meandering through the pine trees to cliff top views of the Atlantic, the par 73 course sets a stunning test for any golfer.
The Royal Course is an 18 hole par 72 championship course, with the iconic 16th hole being one of the most photographed golf holes in Europe. A par 3 with a 180 yard carry over the Atlantic Ocean, it would set any golfers knees knocking! One of Portugal’s most prestigious courses, this will last long in the memory of any golfer lucky enough to play it.
