Accommodation & Leisure

Le Meridien Penina has been improved over the years to

keep it abreast of international standards, and it remains a

landmark on the Algarve and a much loved golfing retreat.

Situated at the heart of the beautiful 360-acre estate, the

hotel’s classic Portuguese style is still evident throughout,

and the 188 rooms retain their original charm but are now

complete with the best contemporary fixtures.

Standard facilities in the rooms include climate control,

flat screen satellite television, high speed internet access,

mini-bar, electronic safe and an excellent bathroom. The

facilities are complemented by the splendid mountain

views over the estate and courses.

The name of Penina has almost become a brand in itself,

such is its legendary status as a golf resort. The main

reason for this is the Championship Course, designed by

Sir Henry Cotton.

Since its 1966 inception, the course has hosted countless

professional events, including multiple Portuguese Opens,

and the fact it’s still a leading light of the Algarve is a

testament to the staying power of Cotton’s design.

The Resort Course, a nine hole track, is a decent test

even for experienced golfers, and has 18 separate tees

to provide sufficient variety. Two loops form a par-71

layout, stretching the course over 6,500 yards, which

ensures that Penina has plenty to keep visitors occupied.
