Pinus Ria Hotel

The Pinus Ria is a simple but comfortable hotel, located in the bounds of the Quinta do Lago estate, that is an ideal base for any passionate golfer.

 


Within easy reach of both Vilamoura and the international airport at Faro, the Pinus Ria offers good value accommodation, courtesy of 77 spacious bedrooms, all of which are decorated tastefully with a blend of light wood and simple furnishings.

With air-conditioning, satellite television, direct dial telephone and a mini-bar, the bedrooms at the Pinus Ria are ideally equipped to ensure a truly comfortable stay. An extra bonus is that the hotel will provide free transfers to the golf courses at Quinta do Lago and Vale do Lobo, the local beach and the Quinta do Lago shopping centre.

Given all these benefits, it is not surprising that the Pinus Ria is quickly becoming a favourite with regular golfing visitors to the central Algarve.

The Pinus Ria has its own kids playground and pool, while in the lovely health club you will find a warm salt water pool, Turkish bath, jacuzzi and tennis courts. Feeling stressed or tired? -  treat yourself to a relaxing massage.

The hotel's Restaurant Verde Lago serves traditional Portuguese cuisine, set in charming location overlooking the private gardens.

In Vilamoura, head to Casa del Forno for Italian food, or the Ostra d'Ouro Grill at the Marina for sublime seafood.

South Course
Quinta do Lago's South Course is one of the most prestigious in the Algarve, having hosted the Portuguese Open on eight occasions. Measuring 7,095 yards, the layout is cut through the undulating hills and pine forests, and was designed by William Mitchell.

The South Course is certainly a stiff test, even for low handicap players, with strategically positioned bunkers, threatening water and severely sloping greens. The course is demanding, but should not overawe the average golfer, and with superb views on a number of outstanding holes is a fantastic place to enjoy a round of golf.

North Course
William Mitchell joined forces with Joseph Lee to create Quinta do Lago's North Course, which opened to visitors in 2000. The North is 6,561 yards from the championship tees, and is generally similar in style to the South.

Distance from the tee is not of great importance on the North Course, but being accurate is crucial. There are a number of tricky dog-leg holes, while the North is most renowned for its par-5s, particularly the closing hole, which demands a fine drive over water and between the encroaching fairway bunkers.

Laranjal Course
The latest championship course at Quinta do Lago has been carved out of an orangery by Santana da Silva. Measuring 7,065 yards the par 72 layout consists of well guarded greens that provide a great all year surface and testing narrow fairways. The scenic location is complemented by the beautiful features of the course, umbrella pines, corkoaks, orange trees and five lakes which form part of the water recycling system.

 

Royal Course
Vale do Lobo's Royal Course is a spectacular cliff-top course, whose iconic 16th hole has effectively become the face of golf in the Algarve. Although it is a par-3, the green is set 238 yards away on the opposite side of a plunging cliff; standing on the tee facing the stunning sandstone cliffs is undoubtedly one of the most exhilarating experiences in world golf. The legendary Henry Cotton's design has been revised by Rocky Roquemore in recent years, and continues to delight visitors year after year.

Ocean Course
The Ocean Course differs greatly to its neighbour; while the cliff-top Royal demands accuracy above all else, the Ocean allows golfers to use their creativity to great effect. Many of the holes run alongside a nature reserve, before the course winds down to the shoreline, where you can enjoy unparalleled views up and down the coast. The Ocean is a combination of two nine hole loops designed by Sir Henry Cotton, and is a gem of a course that will satisfy even the most demanding golfer.
