The Algarve
Vale do Lobo · Vale do Lobo
Why groups love it
Home to one of Europe's most photographed holes, played across ochre cliffs.
Groups come for the cliff carry and stay for a round that is more varied than its reputation suggests. We station a photographer or simply build in extra time at that tee, because everyone wants the picture. Buggies are advised, and the resort makes lunch and dinner for a group straightforward.
From our groups
“We’ve taken golf trips to Scotland and Ireland, but this was the smoothest by far. Portugal Magik arranged every tee time at Monte Rei, Quinta do Lago and Vale do Lobo, and our clubs were always waiting at the bag drop. Our driver knew the quickest routes and some excellent seafood spots. The eight of us are already planning next year.”
“Four couples, with half of us golfing and half not, could have been complicated. Instead, everything worked perfectly. The golfers played Oitavos Dunes and Penha Longa while the others explored Sintra with a wonderful guide, then we all met for dinner in Cascais. Not one detail was missed.”
