Montado Hotel & Golf Resort is a brilliant option for golfers looking for a peaceful stay-and-play break within easy reach of Lisbon. Set amongst vineyards and cork oak woodland near Palmela and Setúbal, the resort combines comfortable accommodation with an 18-hole championship golf course right outside the hotel. For us, it works particularly well if you want to enjoy Portugal’s golf without staying in the busier centre of Lisbon.

The hotel has 90 rooms and three suites, with every room featuring a private balcony and views across the golf course and surrounding landscape. Golf Rooms provide everything you need for a comfortable short break, while Superior Golf Rooms add more space and kitchenette facilities. The larger suites are a good choice if you want extra room to relax, with separate living areas and additional facilities making them particularly suitable for longer stays.

The biggest attraction is having Montado Golf Course directly on the doorstep. The 18-hole, par-72 layout stretches to 6,366 metres and runs through relatively flat countryside surrounded by vineyards, cork oaks, streams and lakes. Water plays an important role throughout the course, and the memorable finishing hole features an island green that gives you one final chance to either finish your round in style or add a few shots to the scorecard.

Staying at the resort makes the whole golf experience incredibly easy. You can enjoy breakfast overlooking the course before heading straight to your tee time, while the practice facilities include a driving range with 50 positions, putting greens, a chipping area, short-game facilities and a dedicated bunker practice area. It is an excellent set-up whether you simply want to loosen up before playing or spend some extra time working on your game.

After golf, the All in One Restaurant serves a mixture of regional Portuguese flavours and international dishes while looking across the lake. The Pitch & Putt Bar provides a more relaxed setting for snacks and drinks, with a terrace overlooking the golf course that is ideal for settling in after 18 holes. The resort also offers a swimming pool and spa services for golfers looking to slow things down between rounds.

Montado is also well positioned for exploring the surrounding region. Setúbal and historic Palmela are both nearby, while the beaches and scenery of the Arrábida Natural Park, local wineries and the Tróia Peninsula can all be incorporated into your trip.
