2 golf courses · Dona Filipa Hotel
The five-star Dona Filipa Hotel sits within the exclusive Vale do Lobo estate, a two-minute walk from the beach and with complimentary transfers to the legendary San Lorenzo course. The estate's own Royal and Ocean courses complete 36 holes of parkland golf, with the Royal's clifftop finishing stretch among the most photographed in European golf.
The Royal Course is Vale do Lobo's flagship layout and home to the resort's famous clifftop finishing stretch with sweeping views over the Atlantic. Henry Cotton's original design was later refined by Rocky Roquemore and reopened in 1997 with a more sculpted par-72 challenge.
Opened in 1968, the Ocean Course covers 18 holes through Vale do Lobo's mature woodland with strategic lakes and bunkers that reward precise course management. Together with the Royal, it completes 36 holes of complementary parkland golf on the central Algarve coast.
