The Magnolia Hotel is a brilliant option for golfers looking for something a little more relaxed and colourful in Quinta do Lago. Inspired by classic 1950s Palm Springs-style motels, the hotel has a fun, contemporary feel that makes it stand out from the more traditional luxury resorts in the Algarve. For us, it works particularly well for couples and golf groups who want easy access to championship golf without needing the formality of a large five-star hotel.

The hotel has 74 rooms, three suites and seven cottages, giving you plenty of choice depending on how you want to stay. Standard and Standard Plus Rooms are ideal for shorter golf breaks, while the suites add more living space. The two-bedroom cottages are our pick for groups wanting a little more independence, with room to spread out and enjoy the social side of the trip. Accommodation is bright, comfortable and well equipped, with fast Wi-Fi, air conditioning, televisions with international channels and practical touches such as UK sockets.

Golf is one of the biggest reasons to stay here. The Magnolia sits within Quinta do Lago Resort and gives golfers straightforward access to the South, North and Laranjal courses. Scheduled golf shuttles operate between the hotel and all three courses when arranged in advance, which makes the whole stay-and-play experience wonderfully easy. You can have breakfast, jump on the transfer and be at the first tee without worrying about driving or parking.

Away from golf, the hotel has a heated outdoor swimming pool, gym, sauna, steam room and Jacuzzi, giving you plenty of ways to unwind after a round. There is also the ChillZone with table tennis, table football and Xbox stations, while complimentary Dutch bikes make it easy to explore the surrounding resort.

Dining has a relaxed feel, with breakfast served daily and all-day food available in the restaurant, by the pool or on the pool deck. Quinta Shopping is also only around 500 metres away, giving you even more bars, restaurants and shops within easy reach.

The Ria Formosa, Quinta do Lago Beach and The Campus sports complex add plenty to do away from the golf, so The Magnolia works particularly well for mixed groups too.

For golfers wanting a stylish, informal base with three of the Algarve’s best-known courses close by, The Magnolia Hotel is an excellent choice.
