Planning luxury golf holidays in Portugal and Spain made easy

By the end of 2022, Porto Santo Golfe had a net operating profit of 212,100€. The whole amount spent was 763,000€, whereas the total amount earned was 977,000€.
This excellent outcome may largely be attributed to an increase in visitors from Northern Europe countries and the green fees.
“Our biggest revenue in 2022 came from the agreement with the Scandinavian countries with the respective 'green fees', to which is added the rental of buggies, electric and manual trolleys, as well as the 'club storage' services and the sale of items from the Pro-Shop”, said Nivalda Gonçalves, president of Sociedade de Desenvolvimento do Porto Santo.
After 18 years and 27 million euros in investments (golf course and real estate), Porto Santo Golfe has turned a profit.
A good outcome was achieved thanks to the efforts of the management business, the whole golf course employees, and the dedication of individuals who, over the course of 18 years, have built a lasting legacy on the island of Porto Santo.
Congrats to Porto Santo Golfe, a point of pride for those who supported the project and who work in the golf sector, a key component of Porto Santo's tourism offering.

This is the first W hotel to open in Portugal, and is located in beautiful Albufeira, a famous golf holiday destination in the Algarve.
W Algarve, which was inaugurated last year, gives careful consideration to every facet of the guest experience. In his own words, Henrique Pires, the director of the marketing and communication department of the hotel, remarked: “To be as authentically Portuguese and Algarvian as possible was our primary objective. AB studio, a prominent Japanese partner of Marriott's, was responsible for the design of all the hotel's indoor and outdoor areas”.
Tradition seems to be reflected in the hotel's décor. “As if transported to the Benagil caves, there's a portrayal of the entrance of light in some places of the hotel. The Portuguese cobblestones are inside and outside. The apartments have a minibar stocked with Portuguese items and decorated with an Algarvian chimney”, added Henrique Pires.
In fact, from the moment you step foot in W Algarve, you'll be immersed in a unique and unforgettable experience. Upon entering the hotel, you’ll see one whole wall covered with the beautiful porcelain. There's also a lounge that features some out-of-the-box interior design.
The W Algarve is a wonderful place to visit, even if you aren't staying there, thanks to the many activities that Henrique and his staff have planned, like the Carnival.
“Here at the W Algarve, we can relax and be genuine. Unlike the standard hotel industry, we have the freedom to run things differently. We are able to incorporate our status as a lifestyle brand into our operations”, he said.
In addition to welcoming visitors, these activities also welcome residents. “We hope the locals will visit. We've put in a lot of time and energy to plan themed events and parties so they may come and enjoy this unique and friendly venue”.
“The goal is to welcome as many people as possible, therefore throwing more themed events with a variety of musical genres is top of the list. In an effort to showcase as much talent as possible and provide an unforgettable W experience, we are actively pursuing submissions from artists all around the country and the world”.
"Every section of the hotel offers something distinctive from the rest of the Algarve. Differentiating ourselves, we want to invest every experience with significance", explained Henrique Pires.

Real de la Quinta, located in Marbella, has begun work on the exclusive El Lago Club, a facility that by the end of 2025 will have the largest residential leisure offer on the Costa del Sol.
The Lago Club will have a restaurant area operated by the renowned Azotea Group, a health & wellness area run by Le Max Club, a lake with a beach where a multitude of recreational activities can be carried out, and a golf course.
The golf course, which was designed by two-time golf world champion Manuel Piñero, is now being built, and Target Ingenieros is in charge of carrying out the project execution and directing the work. There will also be a short game area and a long game section included in the golfing facilities.
The complex is designed under strict quality standards, relying on the certificate under the sustainability scheme BREEAM Urbanismo.
El Lago Club will be a reality within a little over two years, joining the four urban developments that, at that close, will make up Real de La Quinta (Olivos, Quercus, Palmitos and Sabinas).

Domes Lake Algarve, located adjacent to Vilamoura beach, will reopen in April with a twofold signature that further elevates the excellence of what was named "Best New Resort" by the European World Travel Awards.
This resort will be the first of its kind under the Autograph Collection brand, as well as the fifth hotel in the area owned by Marriott International.
Domes Lake Algarve is closed since October 2022 so that substantial renovations may be made to the resort, which has attracted visitors from all over the world.
Interventions are being carried out in all 192 rooms, but also in the common areas, restaurants and bars, including furniture upgrades and total renovations in some of the spaces dedicated to gastronomy.
For example, the hotel-managed restaurant Sora Beach, on Falésia beach, is undergoing a major renovation in preparation for a partnership with a well-known Portuguese chef.
One of the most significant alterations will be the addition of a fifth pool, this one dedicated to adults only, to the four already present pools. This new feature will further the resort's versatility.
The Domes Lake Algarve is the first hotel in the Greek Domes Resort group to be built outside of Greece.
