Hyatt Regency Vilamoura Algarve
Vilamoura
Hyatt Regency Vilamoura Algarve is a newly reworked coastal hotel in the centre of one of Portugal’s best-known golf destinations. It opened under the Hyatt Regency name on 26 January 2026 following the renovation and rebranding of the former Dom Pedro Vilamoura. The marina, Praia da Falésia and Vilamoura’s restaurants are close by, while Faro Airport is approximately 23km away by road. That combination makes the hotel a convenient base for a short break with several different courses rather than a stay tied to one layout.
The property has 257 fully renovated rooms and suites, with interiors drawing on Algarve colours and materials including greens, blues, sand and terracotta. Options range from king and twin rooms to family and Regency suites, with selected categories adding sea views, terraces or hot tubs. Modern conveniences such as high-speed Wi-Fi, keyless access and screen-sharing technology help the rooms work for both leisure stays and groups travelling with a mixture of plans.
Brasa Coastal Steakhouse leads the food offering with grilled meats, local seafood and an Algarve-influenced menu. The Terrace Pool & Bar serves drinks and lighter dishes beside the outdoor pool during its seasonal opening, while Lume Lobby Lounge moves from coffee and afternoon tea into cocktails and evening entertainment. The surrounding marina adds a much wider choice when guests want to eat away from the hotel.
Active facilities extend beyond golf. There is an outdoor pool, fitness centre, indoor heated pool, yoga areas, padel, pickleball, mini golf, pétanque and beach volleyball, plus a Kids Club and playground. Hyatt’s current hotel page states that its fuller spa and wellness experience is due to open in December 2026, so guests travelling before then should confirm exactly which treatments and wet facilities are available rather than relying on older descriptions of the previous hotel.
The hotel does not have its own golf course. Instead, it provides access to Vilamoura’s established selection, including The Els Club Vilamoura, Old Course Vilamoura, Pinhal, Laguna and Millennium.
For golfers who want renovated rooms, marina evenings and the freedom to play a different course each day, Hyatt Regency Vilamoura Algarve is a practical new option. We can package the hotel with the most suitable Vilamoura tee times and adjust the itinerary for a quick weekend, a mixed group or a longer Algarve stay.

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.
