Amendoeira Golf Resort sits in central Algarve near the town of Silves, roughly 35 minutes from Faro Airport and well placed for exploring the wider region. This award-winning four-star resort centres on a handsome mix of modern apartments — with shared pools — and villas that each have their own private pool, making it a versatile choice for everything from couples’ golf breaks to larger group trips to Portugal.
Two 18-hole championship courses give this resort its well-deserved reputation as a golfer’s destination: the Faldo Course, designed by Sir Nick Faldo, and the O’Connor Jnr Course, crafted by Christy O’Connor Junior. Both offer contrasting tests that will stretch any handicap. Beyond the main courses, a floodlit 9-hole par-3 Academy Course and a fully equipped Golf Academy and Fitting Suite make Amendoeira an excellent choice for those looking to sharpen their game alongside their Algarve golf holiday.
The clubhouse restaurant and bar anchors the social side of the resort, and the Amendoeira Sports Club adds recreational options including football. It is the sort of self-contained destination where the week fills itself naturally, without ever needing to leave the estate.
