The par-four 7th sets the tone for a round at Boavista Golf & Spa, asking for committed club selection while opening the view towards Praia da Luz, the Atlantic and the Monchique hills. Howard Swan’s 18-hole championship course runs to 6,620 yards across rolling ground, where changing lies make controlled ball striking as valuable as length from the tee. Water comes into play regularly, while palms soften the edges of the fairways and give the course a distinctly Algarve feel. Opened in 2002, it has matured into a well-kept layout that holds its condition through the year, with a driving range for a useful warm-up before the first tee and a modern clubhouse to return to afterwards.
Accommodation is in contemporary apartments and villas, with selected properties facing the fairways, Lagos Ocean Bay or the mountains inland. It works particularly well for groups who want the freedom of their own space between rounds, without losing the convenience of having the course and restaurant on site. The spa and health club provide a slower alternative to another 18 holes, with a heated indoor pool, gym and beauty salon, while tennis courts, football pitches and a children’s play area add options for mixed groups and families.
Set on the Algarve’s west coast near Lagos, the resort gives you a quieter base than staying in the town itself, while keeping its restaurants, marina and evening life within around 10 minutes. A morning round can therefore be followed by lunch at the clubhouse, time by the pool or spa, and a straightforward trip into Lagos for dinner.
Every one of these hotels can build a trip around this course. Pick one for its rooms and packages, or ask us which suits the group.
