Vila Sol Golf

The magnificent Vila Sol SPA & Golf Resort, which is located in an estate of some 150 hectares, is characterised by its beautiful natural surroundings with a vast range of fauna, animal and plant life. At Vila Sol Golf you will find a fabulous 27-hole golf course designed by the famous architect Donald Steel, which stretches along a wide valley, naturally sculpted by Mother Nature and divided into three loops with three different levels of difficulty: Prime, Challenge and Prestige.

Vila Sol Golf has twice played host to the Portuguese Open, in 1992 and 1993. It was honoured by the Green Globe organisation in 1996 with the Green Flag award, certification of meeting their environmental requirements. In 2001 it won the prize for Best Golf Development, preented by British MP Sir Eric Pickles.

Against this backdrop, full of trees and wildlife, carefully looked after and protected by specialist staff, golfers can discover an environment par excellence  which will envelop them throughout the day. From the 1st tee to the Clubhouse, a large team of professionals are at work, and remain at your disposal to make this paradise a unique, unforgettable experience.

The Vila Sol Golf Clubhouse, with its central location, is the starting and finishing point for each of the three 9-hole loops: the first heads to the East, the second to the West and the third to the South.

You can also practise your game at the excellent driving range or practise course, of around 300 metres, alongside the Clubhouse.

Vila Sol Spa

Vila Sol SPA awakens your senses, develops your intuition and brings you a sense of complete well-being.

SPA, the abbreviation for Sanum por Acqua (health by water), represents a source of well-being for those who suffer the effects of a life which is far too rushed, and who do not allow themselves time to relax and pamper their bodies in an environment of complete calm... corpus sanum in mente sana...

At Vila Sol SPA you will find a vast range of treatments which will bring back harmony and balance at both physical and spiritual levels. Weekly, daily or weekend programmes are available, as are totally personal programmes: our objective is to meet your every wish.

Because of this, and because we interpret the concept of SPA in a broad sense, you can also take advantage of our private salon, where you will find a complete service of hairdressing, manicure, pedicure and make-up.

And, before you leave, go to our lounge, just to relax, or to the bar, just to enjoy some of the best natural teas, infusions and fruits.

The décor on the inside of Vila Sol SPA, brings together traditional and modern, creating a welcoming environment and the ideal refuge, far away from our daily stress.

Here you will find at your disposal a permanent team of professionals, specialists in their areas, and trained to welcome and pamper all our clients so that their visit becomes a unique and unforgettable experience.
