Pine Cliffs, Albufeira

This 9 hole golf course in the Algarve, is truly majestic. It caters to beginners, so perfect for families wanting to enjoy a knockabout rather than keen professionals.

The golf course was designed by Frank Pennink, a Champion Amateur golfer, and international gold course designer.

Pinheiros Altos, Quinta do Lago

Designer Ronald Fream came up with the concept for this challenging golf course in the Algarve, which can be found in Quinta do Lago. Best reserved for keen golfers, this golf course has many hazards along the way, but make sure you pause at hole 17 to look at the rather lovely view!

Top tips for things to do in the Algarve

Unique Places to stay — Quinta Palmeiral

Algarve Housing rent holiday villas in the Algarve, the most southern part of Portugal. Apart from sun, sea and sand, we like to share a few other things to do in the Algarve. Top Tips of people who live here!

What else to do?

Drive to the top of Foia, the highest point of the Algarve, just above Monchique and enjoy the most gorgeous views of the coast with the river Arade, and Portimao. After that, allow yourself to get lost in the narrow, winding roads on your way back and experience the real Algarve!

Sit with a book and a light picnic under the canopy at Caldas de Monchique and enjoy the tranquillity and the sound of the stream.

Take a boat trip by traditional fishing boat, from Tavira to Santa Luzia or Faro Marina to Isle Deserta.

Traditional Fishing Boats in the Algarve — Traditional Algarvian Fishing Boats

Visit the most south westerly point of Europe, Cape St. Vincent; it is breathtaking to sit so high above the Atlantic and watch the waves come rolling in.

Stroll through historic, Moorish town Silves, the original capital of the Algarve, in the back streets the past mingles with the present in perfect harmony. Have a nice coffee on the terrace of Café Ingles, while listening to the Brazilian tunes of the live band…

Take a walk along the coastline from Ferragudo all the way to Praia do Carvalho. It works like a therapy, it will revitalise your soul and you will also feel fitter as a result!

Venture down into the awesome depths of the salt mine under Loule.

Look down on the old tiled rooftops of Tavira from the castle garden, or from the nearby camera obscura.

A round of golf on one of the Algarve’s stunning championship golf courses the Algarve boasts.

Visit to the Vale de lobo Royal Spa for a day of pampering and relaxation.

Dolphin Trip off the coast of Lagos or Portimao. You will see so many dolphins, you will never forget it!

Buying local honey form roadside sellers. Not only the honey is delicious, it helps local producers too!

This were a few tips, soon will follow more.

Please contact me for more information and visit our website for nice places to stay in the Algarve.

You probably still don’t know what it is like to play in the Algarve. So the next time you’re dreading your compulsory golf break have a look at our website and book a nice villa that suits all your needs and discover for yourself why so many are choosing to play golf here. Why not
