GOLF::
Portugal has just been voted the number one of golf courses in the world!
There are many golf courses to choose from in the Algarve region but within an 8 kilometre drive from the villa just east of the ancient city of Tavira is Benamor which was completed in the spring of 2000 and is set among the peaceful surroundings of a construction-free golf resort.
Also just a short drive away is the Golfe da Quinta da Ria one of two Par 72 courses that is set in the spectacular location of the Ria Formosa Nature Reserve and has been described by experienced golfers as 'the most beautiful course in the region'.
Golf:
This is Europe's foremost winter golfing destination.
The east Algarve has formed its own association to promote the region as a 'new tourist' destination. This part of the Algarve now has four 18 hole golf courses (and one 9 hole) with more under construction - and apart from emphasising these, the association wants to draw attention to the completely different undeveloped atmosphere.
BENAMOR was the first 18 hole course to open in this area and lies between the Tavira coast and uplands of Serra do Caldeirao. It offers views both southward to Atlantic Ocean and northward to the hinterlands.
On the QUINTA DA RIA estate are another two 18 hole par 72 courses near the coast between Tavira and Monte Gordo.
The stunning layout of QUINTA DE CIMA is a series of lakes connected by a stream skilfully incorporated as an added challenge to players. Again this is a 18 hole par 72 course. All these courses are just a short drive from the villa.
