Quinta da Ria Golf Course
Located within the Ria Formosa Natural Park, this 18-hole golf course offers amazing views overlooking the Atlantic Ocean and the beach of Cacela Velha, which recently has been awarded amongst one of the most beautiful beaches in the world.
Right from the start of the round, you will be able to recognize the work and design of a world-renowned Golf Course Architect Rocky Roquemore.
The idea of the architect was to create a challenging golf course yet maintaining the original natural landscape with thousands of ancient olive and carob trees.
Boasting five lakes dotted within flat terrain, the two sets of 9 holes contain a mixture of par’s trees, fours and fives. One of the most iconic points at Quinta da Ria is the 17th hole, which has a small island on the lake, now a sanctuary of endangered rare birds.
When playing this course, take a moment to appreciate the huge variety of wildlife that inhabits this area.

Quinta de Cima Golf Course
Designed by the well-known American Architect Rocky Roquemore, Quinta de Cima was conceived as the championship course of the golf resort.
The opening PAR 5 is a gentle start to the round, but the course will become tougher as the round progresses, with doglegs to the right and left and undulating greens which are well protected by large sandy bunkers and lakes.
There are also several natural creeks running through the course that will also increase its difficulty.
Throughout the course you will find many ancient carob and olive trees, which adds a certain character to the layout. The natural beauty and the challenging features of this golf course will make you return time and time again.
