DONA FILIPA & SAN LORENZO GOLF RESORT

VALE DO LOBO, NEAR VILAMOURA

Deluxe five-star resort

Close to Vale do Lobo attractions

Easy access beaches

Excellent guest rooms

Accommodation & Leisure

In addition to its prestigious setting near

the beach front in the desirable Vale

do Lobo estate, the Dona Filipa Hotel

presents guests with a fine collection

of rooms and suites, many of which

are blessed with views across the golf

course to the shoreline.

The 154 rooms are decorated in a style

traditional to the region, and are well

equipped with satellite television,

air-conditioning and mini-bar.

The Primavera Restaurant serves a great

buffet breakfast, then lovely Italian à la

carte menus for lunch and dinner. The

Duarte Grill is a sumptuous fine dining

room, whose international cuisine is

renowned for its flavour and beauty.

The ultimate benefit of staying at Dona

Filipa is the access it affords to the golf

course at San Lorenzo, regarded rightly

as one of the very best in continental

Europe. As the holes skirt the water of

the nature reserve, with views out to sea,

there are few more impressive places to

play, and the layout itself is phenomenal.

There are countless spectacular holes,

like the sixth, a par-4 towards the ocean

which gets the juices flowing, before

the course builds up to a magnificent

crescendo with the closing stretch; the

th is a daunting test that borders the

water, while the closing hole is a the

classic ‘risk versus reward’ hole, where

the intrepid golfer must strike a good

approach shot to reach the

spectacular semi-island green, without

doubt a finish to rival any other golf

holiday destination.
