Sotogrande has some of the best golf courses in Spain

The website Top100GolfCourses.com, which is devoted to ranking and analysing golf courses, has recently determined that Sotogrande, which is located on the Costa del Sol, is the best destination to play golf in Spain.

The Real Club Valderrama has been named the best golf course in Spain for the second year in a row. The golf course is used to host elite events, like the Ryder Cup in 1997, and it will host a LIV Golf event in June.

Real Club de Golf Sotogrande, the area’s oldest golf course, recently jumped to second place in the national rating, highlighting the high calibre of the area’s golfing options, which are among the best in Europe.

La Reserva Club, ranked 13th, adds credibility to the region’s golf scenario, as does Almenara Golf, a club with 27 holes that was recently remodelled by the renowned Manuel Piñero.

“According to the most up-to-date standings in Spain, Sotogrande is hands down the finest place to play golf. Having the area’s golf facilities rated so highly is especially satisfying because the strength of golf throughout the region is recognized”, said Rita Jordão, Sotogrande’s Director of Sales and Marketing.

“We are constantly investing in our properties in Sotogrande SA and, together with the other Sotogrande clubs, we are committed to continually providing the best facilities for our residents, members and visitors”, added Rita Jordão.

Hotel Palácio Estoril. The incredible history of Palácio Estoril hotel

Palácio Estoril has a very rich past

The Hotel Palácio Estoril is a five-star hotel in the centre of Estoril, only 20 minutes from Lisbon‘s city centre, and features stunning gardens and breathtaking views of Estoril and Cascais Bay.

Since its opening in 1930, travellers from all over the globe have stayed at Hotel Palácio. It provides all the comforts of home in an atmosphere of timeless luxury, and its famous hospitality sets it apart.

The Hotel Palácio Estoril of today still has many features from the time it opened in the 1930s. The Hotel’s opulent classic décor has been updated over time without deviating from its original framework of timelessness, luxury, and sophistication, creating an exclusive ambience that is felt by all who enter.

During the Second World War and due to Portugal’s neutrality, some royal families fled to Estoril, known at the time as the “Kings Coast”. British and German spies met in the Hotel Palácio, where numerous members of the European royalty stayed.

In 1969, “On Her Majesty’s Service”, a classic James Bond film, was set at the Hotel.

Palácio Estoril was the second home of the Spanish, Italian, French, Bulgarian, and Romanian royal houses, and their descendants still visit the hotel. In February 2011, the Royal Gallery was created at the hotel, displaying photos of European nobles who have visited the place.

Today, Palácio Estoril continues to be a reference and has received many awards, like the Condé Nast Award 2023 for the best place for meetings and conferences, and the 2023 Merit Award from the Portuguese journal Expresso.

Enjoy your stay and let the hotel’s colourful and illustrious past inspire you.

Near the hotel, you’ll find excellent golf courses, like Oitavos Dunes, Quinta da Marinha and Golf Estoril.
