Portobelo Vilamoura - Marina & Beach Apartment Hotel
Vilamoura
Portobelo Vilamoura combines the freedom of self-catering accommodation with the convenience of hotel services, making it an excellent base for a golf holiday in the Algarve. Formerly known as Dom Pedro Portobelo, the aparthotel enjoys a particularly convenient position just two minutes’ walk from Vilamoura Marina and around three minutes from the beach.
Accommodation ranges from studios to one- and two-bedroom apartments. Each has a private balcony and a kitchen or kitchenette, while many also offer sea views. Spacious living areas and sofa beds make the larger apartments particularly practical for golfing groups sharing accommodation. Air conditioning, complimentary Wi-Fi and daily cleaning are included, while a buffet breakfast is provided each morning.
Facilities include an outdoor swimming pool with a separate children’s area, a pool bar, restaurant, 24-hour reception, room service and private parking. Guests can therefore choose between preparing their own meals, dining at the hotel or exploring the extensive collection of restaurants and bars around the nearby marina.
Golf is one of the strongest reasons to stay here. The Old Course, Pinhal, Millennium and Laguna are all within easy reach, giving groups access to four contrasting Vilamoura layouts during the same holiday. Golf transfers can also be arranged, reducing the need for a hire car.
Portobelo Vilamoura is especially well suited to golfers seeking flexible accommodation and a lively location away from the fairways. Following the day’s round, the marina’s restaurants and nightlife are within comfortable walking distance, while the beach provides an appealing option for rest days and non-golfing guests.

About The Area
Vila Nova de Cacela is a brilliant Eastern Algarve base for a golf holiday, especially for golfers who want quieter surroundings than Vilamoura or Albufeira, but still want excellent courses, beaches and sunshine. It sits close to Cacela Velha, the Ria Formosa and the Spanish border, giving the area a more peaceful, authentic feel than the busier central Algarve.
The big golf draw is Quinta da Ria, set within the Ria Formosa Natural Park. The course is an 18-hole, par-72 layout with Atlantic Ocean and Cacela Velha Beach views, plus strategically placed bunkers and water hazards. Next door, Quinta de Cima adds a more demanding championship-style test, also an 18-hole layout set among lakes, streams, trees and open Algarve landscapes.
Away from golf, this part of the Algarve is made for slower, scenic exploring. Golfers can visit Praia de Cacela Velha, the fortress, the church and viewpoints around Cacela Velha, while nearby Tavira offers historic streets, riverside restaurants, boat trips and access to Ria Formosa islands. The area is also good for cycling, birdwatching, seafood, beach days and day trips to Vila Real de Santo António or across to Spain.
For Hashtag Golf Travel customers, Vila Nova de Cacela works best as a quieter Algarve golf holiday, a winter-sun escape, or a relaxed coastal golf break with strong courses and excellent off-course scenery.
