Vilar Do Golf

Almancil

average rating is 4 out of 5

Vilar do Golf is a fantastic choice for golfers who want the freedom of spacious apartment-style accommodation right in the heart of Quinta do Lago. Set amongst around 30 acres of landscaped gardens and pine trees, the resort combines a relaxed Algarve atmosphere with easy access to three outstanding championship golf courses, making it particularly well suited to couples and groups planning a multi-round golf holiday.

The accommodation is made up of stylish low-rise villas offering one and two-bedroom suites, giving you considerably more space than a conventional hotel room. Each has its own living area, well-equipped kitchen and private outdoor space, making Vilar do Golf a particularly good option for longer stays. We really like the flexibility this provides for golf groups – you can have breakfast in the apartment before an early tee time, relax together after the round and still have plenty of restaurants nearby when you would rather eat out.

Golf is the biggest attraction. Vilar do Golf sits within Quinta do Lago, home to the South, North and Laranjal courses. The South Course surrounds the resort and is the most convenient option, while the North Course is only a short distance away. Laranjal, set slightly inland in the Ludo Valley, provides another completely different challenge amongst orange trees, umbrella pines and lakes.

Having three championship courses so close together makes this an excellent base for a dedicated Algarve golf holiday. You can enjoy the famous South Course, take on the redesigned North Course and then switch to the more secluded character of Laranjal without spending large parts of your holiday travelling between venues.

There is plenty to enjoy when you are not playing golf. Vilar do Golf has heated indoor and outdoor swimming pools, hot tubs and a separate children’s pool, alongside a spa, sauna and fitness centre. There are also restaurants and bars on site, a grocery shop and extensive gardens, so the resort works equally well when you simply want a quiet day away from the fairways.

Quinta do Lago Beach is just over a mile away, while the protected landscapes of the Ria Formosa Natural Park are also on the doorstep. Restaurants, cycling routes and the wider leisure facilities of Quinta do Lago give you plenty of options between rounds.

For golfers wanting spacious self-catering accommodation with some of the Algarve’s best golf immediately nearby, Vilar do Golf is an excellent choice. Speak to our Golf Travel Experts at Hashtag Golf Travel and we can create a tailor-made Quinta do Lago golf holiday combining Vilar do Golf with your preferred courses and tee times.

About The Area

Almancil is one of the Algarve’s best bases for a Portugal golf holiday, especially if your group wants easy access to the famous Golden Triangle without staying directly inside one resort. Sitting inland between Quinta do Lago, Vale do Lobo and Vilamoura, Almancil puts golfers close to some of the Algarve’s most prestigious courses, beaches, restaurants and luxury hotels. Visit Portugal describes the central Algarve area between Vilamoura, Quinta do Lago and Vale do Lobo as one of the region’s most luxurious and best-equipped areas for golf.

For golf, Almancil is perfectly placed. Quinta do Lago offers the South, North and Laranjal courses, while Vale do Lobo is known for its Royal and Ocean courses, including spectacular coastal holes by the Atlantic. Quinta do Lago is around 15 minutes from Faro International Airport, and Vale do Lobo is also less than 30 minutes from Faro and the airport, which makes transfers simple for UK golfers.

Away from the course, Almancil gives you plenty of choice. We would recommend São Lourenço Church for its beautiful azulejo tilework, a beach afternoon at Quinta do Lago or Vale do Lobo, and a walk through the Ria Formosa boardwalks and nature trails. For evenings, Almancil is a great food base, with easy access to stylish resort dining, beach clubs and traditional Algarve restaurants.

Our tip: choose Almancil if your group wants a flexible Algarve golf break with championship golf, short transfers and brilliant dining close by.
