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
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.
