Where should I stay during a golf trip to Vilamoura?

Looking for holiday lettings in Vilamoura will give you easy access to several great golf courses - but there are also plenty of options just outside town.

Apart from holiday lettings in Albufeira, you may also want to consider villas in Carvoeiro. Further down the coast, it offers rugged adventure with wild beaches to explore and hidden caves - and it's an excellent base if you'd like to combine your trip with a hiking holiday in the Algarve, walking the Seven Hanging Valleys trail along the dramatic clifftops. In fact, you could find any holiday lettings in the Algarve that you like the look of. This region of Portugal has around 30 golf courses altogether; although most of them are concentrated around Vilamoura, there are others elsewhere, so a villa in the Algarve will give you good access to golf.
