Accommodation & Leisure

The Marriott hotel at Praia D’El Rey

occupies a terrific position on top

of a bluff overlooking the Atlantic

coast - and the rooms and facilities

are equally impressive. The opulent

accommodation is comprised of

sumptuous guest rooms, including nine

spacious and indulgent suites.

The resort has a large tennis centre,

in addition to a FIFA standard football

pitch, while the spa is a haven for leisure

visitors and golfers alike.

Specialist treatments include massages,

aromatherapy and Thalasso therapy.

Marriott Praia D’El Rey guests are

spoilt for choice on the dining front,

with a wide selection of dining options,

including the superb Atlantic Bar and

Grill, wine cellar, tapas and the amazing

coastal views of the Ocean Lounge.

Rugged links courses are few and far

between in Portugal, and they don’t

come much better than Praia D’El Rey,

whose location on the dramatic Atlantic

shoreline makes it a joy to play. Repeat

visitors to the glorious Silver Coast

resort are regular, which gives an insight

into the feeling it inspires in visitors.

Ranked one of the best courses in

continental Europe, Praia D’El Rey is a

fascinating fusion of links and woodland

golf, as the front nine winds through

stands of impressive pines, demanding

a creativity and accuracy foremost.

But it is the closing stretch that is

perhaps the most memorable with the

signature holes (13, 14 and 15) that skirt

the coast. They are, without doubt,

some of the most spectacular golf holes
