Royal Óbidos Spa & Golf Resort
Caldas da Rainha
Royal Óbidos Spa & Golf Resort is a five-star base on Portugal’s Silver Coast, designed for travellers who value space, Atlantic scenery and a quieter resort atmosphere. The 136-hectare estate sits near the medieval town of Óbidos, with views towards the Óbidos Lagoon and ocean. Lisbon Airport is approximately 89km away by road, making the resort practical for a long weekend while still feeling removed from the capital’s pace. The beaches and fishing villages of the west coast are also within easy reach.
The main accommodation is the Evolutee Hotel, where contemporary interiors by Yoo Studio mix natural materials with details inspired by Portugal. Superior rooms are light and generously sized, with air conditioning, satellite television, complimentary Wi-Fi and bathrooms featuring traditional Portuguese tiles. Suites provide additional room for couples celebrating a special occasion or families wanting more space. Many rooms look over the golf course or towards the Atlantic, so the setting remains part of the experience even when you are away from the fairways. Villas and apartments offer further flexibility for longer stays and groups seeking more privacy.
Royal Óbidos is particularly well balanced for parties that include non-golfers. Mandalay Spa draws on Thai and Indian treatment traditions, while the Health Club includes a heated dynamic pool with hydromassage, sauna, Turkish bath, naturally lit gym and Pilates room. Outside, guests can use the swimming pool and enjoy a choice of activities that may include padel, tennis, mini golf and family facilities. Nearby beaches, the Óbidos Lagoon and the walled streets of Óbidos create easy options for a day away from the resort.
Dining ranges from Portuguese flavours in Cobalt Restaurant to drinks beside the fireplace in the Lobby Bar. The pool bar offers casual daytime choices in suitable weather, while The Legend Restaurant at the golf clubhouse overlooks the driving range and Atlantic. Osteria Verdi adds an Italian option for guests who want more variety during a longer stay.
The on-site 18-hole Royal Óbidos Golf Course, designed by Severiano Ballesteros, is the natural headline for golfers. It can be combined with nearby Silver Coast layouts such as West Cliffs and Praia D’El Rey to create an excellent multi-course itinerary without changing hotels.
For UK golfers, Royal Óbidos offers the ingredients of a polished Portugal golf holiday in one place: five-star accommodation, spa time, good dining and a scenic coastal setting. We can arrange the hotel and golf together, then tailor the number of rounds and nearby courses to suit your group.

About The Area
Caldas da Rainha is a brilliant base for a Portugal golf holiday on the Silver Coast, especially for golfers who want top-quality courses, beaches, food and authentic Portuguese character without the busier feel of the Algarve. The city is known for its thermal heritage, D. Carlos I Park, ceramics, markets and the Bordallo Pinheiro artistic legacy, giving it plenty of local charm between rounds.
The golf nearby is excellent. Royal Óbidos Golf Course was designed by Seve Ballesteros and offers a championship test with Atlantic views. West Cliffs, designed by Cynthia Dye, is one of Portugal’s standout modern courses, set beside the sea among dunes and coastal vegetation. Praia D’El Rey adds another superb option, with golf through pine forest and undulating dunes, plus views over the Atlantic and Berlengas Islands.
Away from the fairways, Caldas da Rainha works beautifully for a relaxed coastal golf break. Foz do Arelho is part of the municipality and sits between Óbidos Lagoon and the Atlantic, giving visitors beaches, lagoon scenery and a lovely mix of calm water and wilder ocean coastline. Nearby Óbidos, Nazaré, Peniche and the wider Silver Coast also make easy day trips.
For UK golfers, Caldas da Rainha is ideal for a tailor-made Portugal golf holiday, especially when combined with Lisbon, Óbidos or the wider Silver Coast. Hashtag Golf Travel can help plan the right hotels, tee times, transfers and extras.
