About The Area
Vila Nova de Cacela is a brilliant Eastern Algarve base for a golf holiday, especially for golfers who want quieter surroundings than Vilamoura or Albufeira, but still want excellent courses, beaches and sunshine. It sits close to Cacela Velha, the Ria Formosa and the Spanish border, giving the area a more peaceful, authentic feel than the busier central Algarve.
The big golf draw is Quinta da Ria, set within the Ria Formosa Natural Park. The course is an 18-hole, par-72 layout with Atlantic Ocean and Cacela Velha Beach views, plus strategically placed bunkers and water hazards. Next door, Quinta de Cima adds a more demanding championship-style test, also an 18-hole layout set among lakes, streams, trees and open Algarve landscapes.
Away from golf, this part of the Algarve is made for slower, scenic exploring. Golfers can visit Praia de Cacela Velha, the fortress, the church and viewpoints around Cacela Velha, while nearby Tavira offers historic streets, riverside restaurants, boat trips and access to Ria Formosa islands. The area is also good for cycling, birdwatching, seafood, beach days and day trips to Vila Real de Santo António or across to Spain.
For Hashtag Golf Travel customers, Vila Nova de Cacela works best as a quieter Algarve golf holiday, a winter-sun escape, or a relaxed coastal golf break with strong courses and excellent off-course scenery.
