Golf Courses

The Monte Rei Golf Course is set in a privileged position at the foothills of the Eastern Algarve, with stunning views of Serra do Caldeirão Mountains and the Atlantic Ocean. The par 72 Championship Course measuring 6567m from the Tournament tees is a truly challenging design with water coming into play on eleven of the eighteen holes, the course features an enjoyable series of eight par-4s, five par-3s and five par-5s in a brave and distinctive layout.

The course is an idyllic haven of peace and tranquility, with each hole blending effortlessly into this natural canvas; a truly breathtaking experience. The wide, forgiving fairways are coupled with several lakes, indigenous plants and native grasses, that weave throughout the course, providing golfers with a superb test of skill and accuracy. The strategic bunker placement is also one to watch out for, with their fluffy white sands and steep lips making these monstrous hazards a challenge for any golfer that lands in them.

Accommodation

The Monte Rei Resort offers a wide range of self-catering accommodation options, available for families, small groups and couples looking to enjoy the world class facilities and outstanding service. The resort was inspired by traditional Portuguese architecture and provides guests with an unbeatable combination of relaxed village living.

The villas have been designed with the utmost care and detail. There is a mix of non-linked villas and linked villas, so whatever the group size, everyone will be catered for. The non-linked villas all have three or four bedrooms with fully equipped kitchens, extensive garden, terraces and each has its own private outdoor swimming pool and BBQ area.

There is also the option of staying in a linked villa. These are one, two or three bedroom properties that have terraces, outdoor BBQ areas and shared communal pool. Whatever your group size, you can rest assured that you will have excellent surroundings and luxurious furnishings to enjoy your stay.
