Golf:
Praia d’El Rey opened in June 1997 and is ranked as one of the finest layouts in Europe. Set in extensive grounds of pine forest and undulating dunes with spectacular views over the Atlantic and the Berlenga Islands beyond this golf course will provide an unforgettable experience. The 18 hole par 72 championship seaside links course is visually stunning and tremendously exiting to play. Because of the endless variations of the terrain the golf course offers so much variety. The front nine has a parkland feel to it as it runs in and out of the pine trees, whilst the back nine offers some of the best links golf in mainland Europe. The signature holes 13, 14, and 15 run along the Atlantic Ocean, providing fantastic views of the sea, dunes and back towards the pine forest. Course architect Cabell Robinson has designed the course to be the complete golfing challenge with bold deep bunkers, undulating greens, and natural sand border areas contrasting sharply with the lush green fairways. No wonder Praia d'El Rey has been awarded European Golf Resort of the Year 2007!
