Penina Golf Resort

One of Europe’s most famous golf resorts and with a loyal following, the Penina is a most elegant and welcoming hotel. Guests return year after year to Penina; it is easily the highest-ranking hotel among our clientele for repeat visits. With unbeatable service, fantastic leisure facilities and a world-renowned golf course next door, it comes as no surprise that the Penina was voted “Portugal’s Leading Golf Resort” and “Portugal’s Leading Resort” in the 2012 World Travel Awards.

For years, the hotel was known as Le Meridien Penina, but the hotel became independent at the beginning of October 2013.  The high standards of service remain, and despite much modernisation and refurbishment over the years, the hotel has kept its unique charm and character. If you can drag yourselves away from the superb leisure and golf facilities here, the pretty village of Alvor with its lovely beach and excellent selection of restaurants and shops is just five minutes’ drive away, and the interesting towns of Lagos and Portimao are just ten minutes from the resort. Portimao is known for its stunning beaches and is widely considered to be the best golfing destination in the Algarve.

Dona Filipa Golf Resort

The Dona Filipa Hotel is luxury five-star hotel nestled in the heart of the Vale do Lobo, an exclusive resort in the Algarve. One of the finest hotels and golf resorts in the Algarve, the Dona Filipa Hotel enjoys a fabulous location in the Vale do Lobo resort in close proximity to the famous San Lorenzo Golf Course and next door to the Vale do Lobo’s Royal Course. With impeccable service, luxury facilities and spacious guest rooms, at the Dona Filipa Hotel you are set to have an unforgettable luxury golf holiday in the Algarve.

The Dona Filipa Hotel boasts an unbeatably peaceful coastal location, just a few minutes’ walk away from the stunning Vale do Lobo beach. Guests can spend hours lying on the unspoilt sands here for a true taste of what Portuguese beaches are like. At the beach, visitors can enjoy a range of activities including water sports and jet skiing. There is also an array of beach bars so that guests need not travel far for a meal or refreshing beverage. In the Vale do Lobo Plaza, there is a fantastic range of bars, restaurants and shops in easy walking distance of the Dona Filipa Hotel.

For a luxury golf holiday in the Algarve, the Dona Filipa Hotel makes an unbeatable choice, located just a ten-minute drive away from the San Lorenzo Golf Course, the Algarve’s premium golf course. Guests here can also benefit from pre-booking tee-times at the San Lorenzo. Furthermore, the hotel also overlooks the 17th fairway on Vale do Lobo’s Royal Course which is located just next door.

Madeira and Lisbon are also fantastic locations for golf holidays in Portugal. Madeira, a rocky outcrop in the Atlantic off the West African Coast, is steadily making a name for itself among golfers looking for somewhere different. Golf arrived on Madeira around 60 years ago, and now there are 45 holes of spectacular golf to offer those in search of winter sun. Alternatively, a golf break in Lisbon provides a fascinating cultural experience with the opportunity to play some of the country’s best golf courses.

An Algarve golf holiday promises championship golf courses, superb accommodation options and great weather to match, a unbeatable option for a golf break in Portugal.
