For the Golfer:
There are two excellent golf courses within a five minute drive of the complex. The scenic and serene Palmares course, an 18 hole par 72, perfectly combines beach and mountain scenery. This is reflected in the course, with its links outward nine and hillier back nine and what is arguably the most striking first hole in the Algarve, with its high tee position pointing straight out to sea. A 5 minute drive in the other direction brings you to Boavista, designed by Howard Swann, it is an 18 hole, par 71 Championship course situated overlooking the Atlantic and Lagos town. A new course, Boavista is a welcome addition to Algarve golf and also benefits from a driving range and an excellent teaching academy. A ten minute drive from the complex is the famous Penina course, this is the master work of legendary golfer Henry Cotton, five times host to the Portuguese Open, is an 18 hole par 73.To book golf see the website please contact for link address.
