Ultra Luxury Algarve Holidays
Over the last 50 years the Algarve has been transformed from a rural community of farmers and fishers to one of the greatest hubs of holiday making in Europe, attracting hundreds of thousands each year to its golden shores. The coastline is dotted with luxurious hotels and resorts, each offering sweeping views over the cerulean ocean which stretches away uninterrupted to the horizon. Almost every golf course and restaurant offer the same, making each activity one set against the utmost beauty.
For fans of golf, the Algarve is a peerless destination, boasting more than 20 magnificent golf courses, many of which have been designed by famous names such as Sir Henry Cotton and Bernhard Langer. In the east of the region, lush verdant marshland and forests create an atmospheric backdrop for any putt or swing, so make sure to head out to the San Lorenzo or Salgados courses. Grab your binoculars too, as the rich biodiversity here includes thousands of species from flamingos to the rare purple gallinule.
Similarly, Quinta do Lago is a popular option with something for every skill level and boasts an accolade of awards including ‘Europe’s Best Golf Destination.’ And those looking for a challenge should pack up the clubs and head to Vale do Lobo.

Algarve in a Nutshell
The Algarve is famous the world over for its glorious sandy beaches, and it’s true that this small corner of Iberia does offer some pristine praias, that rival the golden sands of Malaga or Cannes. The Praia da Falésia is one of the finest, bordered by stunning red sandstone cliffs and offering almost six kilometres of rolling dunes from Albufeira to Vilamoura.
One of the best ways to spend a day in the Algarve is a hearty breakfast followed by a morning on the golf course before retiring to a beach or tranquil hotel pool. Many golf courses are located right by the beach, and one of particular note is the Onyria Palmares course designed by world-renowned designer Robert Trent Jones Jr, which has direct access to Meia Beach just outside Lagos.
On the west coast of the Algarve sits the Costa Vincente – a more peaceful and secluded region of equally beautiful beaches and cliffs ideal for sunbathing in privacy or enjoying quality time with your friends and family.
Don’t Forget Your Kit
In the golfing world, the Algarve is widely known as one of the best spots in Europe for enthusiasts of all ages and abilities. With verdant green fairways and challenging deep bunkers to test your skills, each course offers a unique experience, so be sure to try out more than one during your stay.
Get your adrenaline pumping and mind racing and try your hand at some watersports – in the Algarve you’ve got the boldly-surging Atlantic Ocean at your disposal. With kite surfing, wakeboarding and wind surfing all on offer at a number of ports and beaches across the region, you’re in for hours of fun and excitement whether you’re a novice or have been surfing for years.
The picturesque cliffs and marshes of the Algarve make it a superb destination if you’re a fan of walking holidays. A network of footpaths and cycling trails criss-cross the landscape, offering stunning views to any intrepid explorer. Make sure to take your camera with you, because you won’t want to forget the gorgeous vistas you’ll be experiencing.
Tastes To Try
Portugal has an incredibly varied and vibrant culinary tradition, thanks to years as a centre of international trade to far-flung exotic locales such as Mozambique, Goa, Malacca and Macau. The Algarve was the starting point of many commercial exploits of the medieval Portuguese, and the menus here abound with rich flavours and captivating aromas. Try something flavoured with tiny chilli peppers – known as piri-piri – such as the delectably smoky chouriço.
Seafood is a staple of the Algarve diet, and one particular favourite meal is caldeirada – a fish stew similar to France’s bouillabaisse, made usually with cod accompanied by potatoes, onions and flavoured with pepper, coriander, parsley and paprika. There are supposedly 365 ways to prepare caldeirada – one for every day of the year – alluding to its popularity among the people of the Algarve, so be sure to try it out more than once.
