Planning luxury golf holidays in Portugal and Spain made easy

The Algarvian authorities are currently imposing restrictions on the use of water on some golf courses, such as Monte Rei.
In this sense, in the coming weeks, the course will only have enough water for the greens and tees, not being able to water the fairways or the roughts, losing these areas its green color and normal texture. In this case Monte Rei offers a voucher of 30 euros to be spent in the restaurants or buggy bar as compensation.
In view of this situation, please confirm that you wish to keep your reservation.

“The next chapter is here”, said Tivoli Marina Vilamoura Resort general manager Hugo Gonçalves at a dinner for partners, top customers, and the press at the renovated Algarve hotel.
This year marks the hotel's 36th birthday, and the invitation to experience a chapter written with “a lot of dedication, a lot of love and a lot of professionalism” allowed guests to see the renovation in person.
Starting in January 2022, the first phase of the remodelling was finished in 3 months. The most recent phase involved closing the hotel in November of last year to reopen on February 1. And it opened with 100% occupancy, reveals Hugo Gonçalves.
The general manager of the Vilamoura resort has provided three explanations for the renovation. Prioritizing the needs of an international clientele and those more closely associated with the MICE sector necessitates an overhaul of all areas and the development of “mandatory functionality”. Abroad, the goal was to satisfy the need of leisure customers for more private areas. In the end, sustainability was another guiding principle.
Given the need for a return on investment, the general director predicts a 20% to 25% rise in revenues this year.
Three or four events, including two international ones, were hosted in February alone, which was crucial in order to “break the myth of seasonality”.
The manager freely confesses, “winter occupancy is very good”, and that not only is demand high for the months of October, November, and December due to events, but it also stretches all the way to May. He sums up the current state of the industry by saying, “Demand is good, events are booked well in advance, which allows us to have an ambitious perspective and give a good positivism to the occupation”.
The leisure market, which “asked” for this makeover, will now grow. Hugo Gonçalves says capacity is almost 80% and demand will increase until Easter. “We came out of difficult years”, says the manager, and bookings are up from 2019.

From June 5 to June 9, several repair and improvement projects were done to enhance playing conditions for clients at the Las Colinas golf course, near Murcia, in Costa Blanca.
During the maintenance period, work was done to finish renovating the bunkers with the Better Billy Bunker method, which makes them easier to play and maintain. Also, the greens were hollow-tined, which adds oxygen and makes it easier for nutrients and water to move through the soil profile, and the fairways were pricked, which helps break up the soil and keep the playing surface in good shape.
The Las Colinas Golf & Country Club renovated the driving range's aesthetics, updated the course's signs, maintained the golf carts, etc.
The Las Colinas Golf & Country Club maintenance team did the repairs and made the course changes possible.
Las Colinas wants to thank all the clients for their patience and understanding during the renovation works.

In recent weeks, La Cala Resort's clubhouse has undergone its final round of upgrades. Following finishing the initial phase of renovations to the clubhouse's outside patio area last year, the resort has proceeded to make enhancements with new additions to the bar and restaurant.
The modernised decor breathes new life into this outstanding resort in Costa del Sol. The new interior design is sleek and roomy, with sliding doors on every side to let in more natural light and create open spaces from which guests can take in breathtaking vistas of the surrounding Andalusian landscape, hotel grounds, and golf course.
Chef Brian Deegan has introduced an entirely new menu as part of this revamp, and it features a new signature dish called “The Irish Angus Steak Sandwich”, which is a subtle nod to La Cala's Irish owners, FBD Hotels & Resorts.
The refurbished clubhouse additionally includes a sports-themed lounge with televisions and comfy seats located in a space next to the bar and restaurant.
“Our team is very motivated to give their best for our visitors at La Cala, and we are always on the lookout for ways to enhance our product in order to better serve them. This clubhouse upgrade is the latest in an ongoing campaign to ensure our facility sets a high standard in all departments”, adds the resort's general manager, Sean Corte-Real.
La Cala Resort has 3 outstanding golf courses: La Cala Europa, La Cala Asia and La Cala America.
