Discover Europe's "best kept secret" on an Algarve golf holiday

The golfing body recommends the Algarve for players due to its "abundant supply of top quality courses and the weather to enjoy them twelve months of the year," but freely acknowledges that there is much more to the Portuguese holiday favourite than just fine fairways.

For example, a trip to the beautiful historic town of Tavira is recommended to those taking a day off from the golfing, while a glass is raised to the excellent wines of the Douro, Dao, Alentejo, Minho and Estremadura regions.

A great base for anyone looking to enjoy a golfing holiday in the Algarve would be the stylish Vilamoura marina.

Four championship courses, as well as a casino and a host of watersports, await visitors here.
