Vale do Lobo

This is a lovely resort, located in Vale De Lobo, open to those who want to be a part of the luxurious community. They have a beautiful golf course, you can rent clubs and they have golf carts "buggies" available. The ambiance is lovely. They have hookahs available, a full bar, food and drinks. I tried the hot chocolate with almond milk, which tasted good but needed more chocolate. The wait staff was attentive and friendly. The bar was relatively busy at the time.

One of my favourite places in Algarve, especially beach. Great restaurants, live music, fantastic sandy beach, beautiful grounds and golf courses, fabulous villas! Just drive around and enjoy scenery! I love to go to the beach there!

Wow, what a place to stay. Secure, luxurious and in November it's warm and sunny.

When we turned up at reception we were informed the villa we booked had a broken toilet and they were upgrading us to another villa. The villa we stayed in was brilliant. A 5 minute walk to the beach. There are a wide variety of bars and restaurants in the resort. All of which are on the expensive side, but what you'd expect on a resort like this, if you'd prefer some better quality food at a more reasonable price I'd recommend an uber to Quarteria or Almancil where there are some lovely restaurants (Morufo 1 or Pizzeria Casavostra). The resort is immaculate and the golf courses the best I've played. There's a free minibus which will take you anywhere on resort which is really useful. I'd recommend getting it to Julia's where there are some brilliant beach bars and restaurants a lot cheaper and better then on resort with access straight onto the beach.

Excellent service and well-priced. I would highly recommend it to anyone wanting to experience the Algarve to the full.

There's lots to do, including golf, tennis and even an excellent grand piano in the spikes lounge (for those who enjoy playing).

I will be sure to stay here again when I’m next in the Algarve.

My review is if the golf course / club, not of any associated accommodation. Recently back from a trip to Portugal where I played numerous courses between Faro and Lagos. Last minute decision to play the Royal Course at VdL and it was the best of a great bunch. Things I thought were great about it:

1. The staff in the bar and restaurant, the ‘Spike Bar’ were so happy, friendly and helpful.
2. The course is insanely good. I’ve played quality golf courses across the continents, and this was genuinely one of my favourites. So many great holes, including the 16th which is in the top 5 holes I’ve ever played.
3. Incredible value at €60 for a ‘sunset’ round including buggy. Which did mean that we played 17 and 18 in the dark, but who cares! We got to play 1-16 in the light for an obscenely small amount of money.
4. Bang for buck, the food was the best we had, having had 7 lunches at 7 courses.

I loved this place so much, that I genuinely considered whether I should move my Mediterranean base there. Had a look at property prices when I got back to the clubhouse though, and realised that the sale of my vast frontline 5 bed / 5 bath on one of Southern Spain’s best courses, would allow me to buy a 3 bed fixer upper apartment on VdL. So I’m not moving there! But I’ll be back to play the Ocean, and the Royal with my kids soon.

Well done to the management, for providing a great golf and F&B experience 👍😘🇵🇹

Lovely resort with amazing facilities and restaurant options. The apartment we got was thought out to the smallest detail, we received a basket with essentials. The apartment, resort and beach were very clean and the staff was always accommodating and helpful. The free shuttle bus service that ran throughout the resort 24/7 made it easy to get around the resort, from the beach and restaurants.

Would definitely come here again, but would book the apartment with a jacuzzi as it was too cold to use the private pool in November.

Great golf course (Royal) and facilities. Unfortunately I did not get a chance to play the Ocean course. Practice facilities are good too and the staff are helpful too. Drinks buggy offers a good range of drinks, offered food too but not sure what as we did not eat. Really enjoyed the Royal course, greens were true and the course played well (I didn't 😅)

Gorgeous place, very friendly and helpful. Really relaxed vib

very nice quiet estate, stayed in november 2021, lots of parking, very peaceful

Great experience, highly recommended! Shuttle in the resort 24/7, very secure and quiet, tennis, golf, restaurants and parking. The beach was around 15-20 mins walking, 5 mins driving.

This is a Golf and hotel resort with 2 stunning courses: The Ocean and The Royal. The whole golf operation is extremely professional including: buggy hire, tee time bookings, practice facilities, and bar and restaurant area. We did not stay at the hotel.

Brilliant golf course with some exceptional views on the back 9. Technically very challenging in places!

I would advice considering hiring a buggy or trolley as there was a lot of walking between holes.

Feedback to the course would be to improve the signposting between some of the holes, as there were a few where the direction of the next hole was not obvious having not played there before. Otherwise thoroughly enjoyed myself.

Great beach resort with lovely restaurants and fabulous golf

One of the most clean and absolut beautiful places for a vacation in Portugal. We loved it so, so much!!! You feel like you are in a private rich area and it feels good to be there. Absolutely recommended.

We played at Ocean golf course Vale Do Lobo. Not only was the golf course in superb condition the views while we were playing where spectacular. My playing partners got a bit annoyed as I kept taking photographs. We were keeping up with the golfers in front so I was not to worried. We are booking another golf holiday to Portugal next year and this golf course is definitely on the list.

What a beautiful place. We had some drinks / cocktails and smoked a water pipe at this restaurant/cafe/bar.
The trees are looking amazing at night with the lights. See fotos.

The place is nice, super apartments and very helpful staff.
My son really loved the pool and the poolside restaurant named “Well” was fantastic and had an out-of-this-world DJ + indigenious percussionist performing every afternoon 🥳

An outstanding place to play golf. On the ocean view course I'd recommend an orientation pole on the top of the hills on the second 9. A good helpful tool for newcomers and improves safety in regards to straying balls. Highly recommended 🙋‍♂🇳🇱🏌‍♂🇩🇪

Played both the Ocean and Royal courses as a guest. Absolutely fantastic both courses with great restaurant ..shop..bar..and other facilities.
