It's no secret that the Algarve is one of Europe's top golf destinations. Portugal’s glittering Atlantic coastline is bathed by several of ‘Europe’s Top 100 Golf Courses’ and remains a firm favourite among golfers looking to take advantage of the immaculate, picture-perfect fairways and warm Mediterranean climate.

And, it’s not just the championship golf and year-round sunshine that draws holidaymakers to the region. It is here in this coastal paradise that you’ll discover magical cove beaches with golden sands against the backdrop of red cliffs, fantastic nightlife and more than satisfying cuisine. It is a region steeped in Portuguese tradition and culture, and overflowing with colourful towns, castles and cathedrals that you can discover off the course.

Needless to say that the Algarve is the perfect golf holiday destination all year round, and you can read all about it below.

The Portuguese cuisine offers great dishes for all tastes, often with local ingredients. With its coastal location, fish and shellfish dishes with today's catch are perhaps the most popular of them all. A Golfbreaks favourite among both employees and clients is Bovino Steakhouse. Known for their high-quality food and excellent service, we highly suggest a visit if you haven’t already! Another good choice for seafood lovers is Casa do Lago.
