Planning luxury golf holidays in Portugal and Spain made easy

Belas Clube de Campo, in the Lisbon region, has just inaugurated the new Clubhouse Restaurant, located next to the golf course.
The Clubhouse Restaurant is a modern dining choice, featuring a wide selection of lunch and dinner (Friday and Saturday), entrees, sides, and desserts, as well as a Sunday buffet.
Inside the new building, residents, golfers, and visitors may get a feel for the outdoors thanks to the materials that were handpicked and signed by Broadway Malyan and were designed to complement the natural surroundings.
Tiles, wallpaper, and plush seats in various shades of green are included, while neutral-toned wood is used for the tables and seating. Light from outside may be seen streaming in through the numerous windows.
Overlooking the golf course and the Serra de Sintra, the restaurant's expansive and sumptuous terrace is one of its ex-libris.
“In a single space, we managed to create 3 different environments, where customers can enjoy numerous options, at different times of the day, from a lighter meal to a true fine-dining experience”, says Pedro Falé, responsible for the Clubhouse Restaurant.
“Our Clubhouse Restaurant is worth visiting again and again for a variety of reasons”, he concludes.

“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.

La Serena golf course on the Costa Blanca has undergone extensive modifications over the last three years. Firstly the greens and bunkers were renovated. Meanwhile, last year the pump house and other small improvements on the golf course were upgraded, leaving the investment in the tee boxes for this year.
All white and blue tee boxes are now being renovated on the golf course, while the yellow and red tee boxes will be updated during the off season.
La Serena is aware that there is equipment in play on several holes and that this can be a distraction, for golfers.
La Serena's greens are also undergoing regular maintenance. The course has Bermuda greens and when the weather warms up, there is a natural waking up of the grass and several minor interventions are required to keep them spotless throughout the season.

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.
