The Pátio Suite Hotel
Vilamoura
The Pátio Suite Hotel is a practical and comfortable base for a Portugal golf holiday, especially for UK golfers who want the Algarve’s sunshine, beaches and course choice without staying directly on a golf resort. Set in Açoteias, close to Falésia Beach and within easy reach of both Albufeira and Vilamoura, it works well for couples, groups and golfers who like a quieter hotel setting with plenty nearby. The hotel describes its concept around open space, relaxed surroundings and unobstructed views, with suite-style accommodation that gives guests more room than a standard hotel bedroom.
For golfers, the location is the main advantage. Pine Cliffs Golf Course is close by, offering a scenic 9-hole clifftop layout designed by Martin Hawtree, with Atlantic views and the famous “Devil’s Parlour” par three played across the cliffs. Vilamoura is also within easy reach, giving access to several well-known Algarve courses including the Old Course, Pinhal, Laguna and Millennium.
For groups wanting more variety, Amendoeira Golf Resort adds two 18-hole championship courses designed by Sir Nick Faldo and Christy O’Connor Jnr, plus a floodlit 9-hole option.
Back at the hotel, the spacious apartments, pool areas, bistro-style dining and relaxed atmosphere make it easy to unwind after golf. For a good-value Algarve golf break with beach access, nightlife nearby and plenty of course choice, The Pátio Suite Hotel is a very handy option.

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.
