Luxury Golfing Retreats in The Algarve

The Algarve offers unrivalled golfing opportunities to enthusiasts from all across the globe. The beautiful climate, picture-postcard scenery, and acres and acres of award-winning courses are just some of the reasons people flock here every year without fail. Of course, they also come for the luxury resorts, impecable hotels and exceptional beaches...

And that's where Penina Hotel & Golf Resort comes in:

Not only is it the Algarve's first five-star resort, Penina built the country's first ever golf course, introduced the golfing holiday to the Algarve... and is still recognised today as one of the finest destinations in Portugal. And so it should be, we've spent half a century honing our craft, perfecting our golf courses, and delivering one of the best luxury experience to be found anywhere in the world.

Here's what we've got to offer you...

Sir Henry Cotton Championship Course at Penina

Known as one of the most challenging – and satisfying – courses in the whole of Portugal, Penina's marquee course is as unforgiving as it is beautiful. Flanked by streams, ditches and water hazards, the course is maintained to the highest standard… and boasts an extensive array of subtle slopes, elevated greens and breath taking scenery. And, as a ten-time host of the Portuguese Open, you're guaranteed one of the best rounds to be had anywhere in the country.

Resort Course at Penina:

A great combination course that provides 9 holes of solid, but gentle, practice for beginners… or alternatively, 18 holes of challenging golf for the more seasoned player. Blessed with a range of well thought out holes, this course follows the principles laid down by the father of Portuguese golf, Sir Henry Cotton: the perfect course for golfers of every level and ability.
