The courses that define the Algarve
Quinta do Lago's South and North courses are among Europe's most celebrated resort tests. Vale do Lobo's Royal course has the famous clifftop par three. Vilamoura's Old Course is a gentler, tree-lined classic. Breaks selects courses matched to your handicap and books tee times in advance.
When to go
October to May is peak season — warm, dry, and uncrowded compared to summer. April and October hit the sweet spot of good weather and fair hotel prices. December and January are quiet and very affordable, though some resort facilities run reduced hours.
