Situated just a few metres from the Vila Das Vistas development is the luxury Praia d’el Rey Golf and Beach Resort. At the heart of the resort is an 18-hole 72-par championship golf course, widely acknowledged as one of the best in Portugal and voted 13th best in Europe. Designed by American Cabell C Robinson, the links course is set in pine forests and undulating dunes with spectacular views over the ocean and the Berlengas Islands.

Facilities

The luxurious 5-star Marriott Atlantic Hotel includes three restaurants, two bars, hairdresser’s salon, fitness centre, spa and heated indoor and outdoor pools. More sporting facilities include a tennis centre with seven all-weather courts, golf pro shop and state-of-the-art driving range. The club house, with two restaurants and two bars, has a large patio which enjoys stunning views beyond the 10th hole to the shimmering Atlantic Ocean.

For beach lovers, the 3 km of sandy beach offers surfing, windsurfing, family fun or just lounging in the sun. The new Vila da Praia beach village, to be completed in 2007, will add more resort facilities: shops, cafes, bars, a fine restaurant, beach club and even its own church.

Praia d’el Rey has been carefully planned as a luxury community with all the facilities that people could desire: an exquisite neighbour to the Vila das Vistas development.
