Portugal is one of the most popular destinations because it has some of the most stunning championship golf courses not only in Europe, but the world. Beaming sunshine is almost guaranteed year round, as is some wonderfully well-kept golf courses that you simply have to go and play. Arguably the best region for this is The Algarve and one of our favorites is Vilamoura. There is loads of high-quality golf on offer here with the Old being the most famous where umbrella pines flank each hole.
Next door, Pinhal was upgraded decades ago by Robert Trent Jones Senior and it has since been lengthened, and nearby is Laguna, a links-style design where water and sand dominate. At the same location is the Millennium, a Martin Hawtree design that is on mainly open land with just a few holes running through the pines. The Victoria is an Arnold Palmer creation built with tournaments in mind, and not very far away at Amendoeira are two dramatic courses designed by Christy O’Connor Junior and Nick Faldo.
If you don’t just want golf, there is a a tennis club with 12 clay courts, five-a-side football pitches, horse riding, water sports. You are also very close to the marina, beach and a choice of restaurants.
