The Algarve enjoys a gentle climate; year round sunshine moderated by gentle breezes. The Mediterranean atmosphere is reflected in the interesting mix of white houses with their peculiar chimneys, Moorish castles, painted ceramic tiles and fishing villages.

Gastronomically, the Algarve region offers a wealth of seafood - some still cooked in the old manner, their origins in old Arab recipes. Add to this the internationally renowned selection of golf courses led by the impeccable San Lorenzo, creating one of the most popular golfing destination in the world.

From the east just over the Spanish border near to Faro is the 27 hole Islantilla course situated in pine woods over looking the seashore. Through to the west, the rugged and challenging Parque do Floresta course set in the hills. In between there are a variety of courses designed to suit all golfers needs.
