Royal Óbidos Spa & Golf Resort is a fantastic choice for UK golfers looking for a Portugal golf holiday with sea views, resort comfort and easy access from Lisbon. Set on Portugal’s Silver Coast, close to the medieval town of Óbidos, the resort overlooks the Atlantic Ocean and Óbidos Lagoon, giving the whole stay a quieter, more scenic feel than the busier Algarve. Lisbon Airport is roughly an hour away by road, making it a realistic short-break option as well as part of a longer Portugal itinerary.

The headline attraction is the 18-hole championship golf course designed by Severiano Ballesteros. The course makes excellent use of the natural landscape, with views across the lagoon on the front nine and wider Atlantic scenery on the back nine. Water comes into play throughout the round, including a memorable par-3 third hole played to an island green with the lagoon in the background.

For golfers, Royal Óbidos offers a proper resort-golf test without feeling too punishing. The fairways give you room to play, but the coastal breeze, water hazards and changing elevations mean good course management still matters. The clubhouse includes a pro shop, restaurant, bar, members’ lounge and terrace overlooking the course and ocean.

Away from the fairways, the resort offers five-star accommodation, spa facilities, restaurants, bars, villas, apartments and family-friendly facilities. It also pairs brilliantly with nearby courses such as West Cliffs and Praia D’El Rey, giving this part of Portugal real multi-course golf holiday appeal.
