Palmares Serves Up a Sumptuous Summer of Golf and Gastronomy
Palmares Ocean Living & Golf is inviting players and guests to savour the Algarve’s finest experiences this summer, blending top-tier golf with a rich programme of culinary and lifestyle events.
Running weekly through to September, the Summer Events programme at Palmares promises a season of indulgence for golfers and non-golfers alike, set against the stunning natural backdrop of the Bay of Lagos.
A Premier Golf Destination with a Culinary Twist
Renowned as one of Portugal’s finest golfing destinations, Palmares Ocean Living & Golf offers 27 holes of championship golf, seamlessly integrated into the coastal terrain overlooking the Alvor Estuary.
The resort’s three nine-hole loops – Alvor, Lagos and Praia – were redesigned by Robert Trent Jones Jnr to maximise both the natural beauty and the challenge of the setting.
After a round, players can unwind at the resort’s award-winning clubhouse – recently crowned Europe’s Best Golf Clubhouse at the 2024 World Golf Awards – where gastronomy takes centre stage.
Headed by Michelin-starred chef Louis Anjos, the culinary team at Palmares is delivering two standout dining experiences as part of this summer’s line-up.
Golf & Tapas offers a refined post-round snack featuring charcuterie, cheese and artisanal bread, accompanied by a drink.
For those seeking something heartier, the 19th Hole experience delivers a selection of small plates followed by a dish of the day, again served with a drink.
More Than Just Golf: Wellness, Workshops and Algarve Evenings
Palmares is expanding its appeal beyond the fairways this summer with a range of activities designed to entertain, relax and inspire.
Every Tuesday, guests are invited to unwind at complimentary yoga sessions on the driving range, with mats provided, offering a serene counterpoint to the intensity of the game.
For those seeking a creative outlet, candle-making and sewing workshops are being hosted throughout the summer, giving guests the chance to learn new skills in a tranquil environment.
The resort’s commitment to Algarve culture continues with live cooking demonstrations and Portuguese-themed evenings.
On Sundays and Mondays, guests can enjoy ‘Live Cooking at Ofyr’, featuring an à la carte menu created by chef Anjos and live music on Sunday evenings.
Thursdays bring the flavours of the region to the fore with a special Algarve night, complete with traditional dishes and live entertainment.
Golf Clinics and Gourmet Escapes
For golfers looking to sharpen their skills, weekly golf clinics led by Palmares’ professional instructors are taking place every Wednesday.
These sessions offer expert tuition in a relaxed group setting, making them ideal for players of all levels.
Meanwhile, the resort offers several accommodation options for those wanting to extend their stay.
The Palmares Beach House Hotel, with just 20 rooms, provides a boutique coastal retreat, while the Signature Apartments, available in one, two and three-bedroom layouts, offer luxury living just steps from the course.
Whether you’re there for the golf, the gourmet cuisine, or simply to soak in the scenery, Palmares Ocean Living & Golf is serving up a memorable Algarve summer for every kind of traveller.
