Staying at Amendoeira Golf Resort – A Peaceful Retreat in the Heart of the Algarve
Introduction
Set amidst the golden landscapes of southern Portugal, Amendoeira Golf Resort is a haven for relaxation and recreation. With two award-winning golf courses, elegant villas, and panoramic views of the Algarve countryside, it offers a unique escape where nature, sport, and comfort meet in perfect harmony. Whether you’re teeing off at dawn or unwinding by the pool at sunset, this resort captures the laid-back spirit of the region.
The Setting
Located near Alcantarilha, just a short drive from Albufeira and the coast, Amendoeira Golf Resort sits on 270 hectares of rolling hills and orange groves. The setting feels tranquil and private, with endless space to breathe and stunning views that stretch to the horizon.
The architecture blends contemporary design with traditional Portuguese elements — whitewashed façades, terracotta roofs, and lush gardens that give the resort a sense of calm and elegance. Despite its peaceful atmosphere, some of the Algarve’s best beaches, restaurants, and cultural sites are just 15–20 minutes away.

At Amendoeira Golf Resort, time moves at your own pace. Guests can choose from spacious apartments and private villas, each featuring full kitchens, large balconies, and sweeping views of the landscape. It’s a destination built for comfort — whether you’re staying for a weekend escape or a long-term retreat.
The resort’s two championship golf courses — designed by Sir Nick Faldo and Christy O’Connor Jr. — are among the finest in Europe, offering a world-class experience surrounded by nature. Beyond golf, there are tennis courts, a fitness center, swimming pools, and jogging trails that weave through the property.
Dining at The Clubhouse Restaurant is a highlight, offering Mediterranean-inspired dishes with local ingredients and panoramic terrace views. Service throughout the resort is warm and attentive, balancing professionalism with genuine Portuguese hospitality.
