AP Cabanas Beach & Nature

Set within the Ria Formosa Natural Park on the Eastern Algarve, AP Cabanas Beach & Nature is an adults-only base that suits golfers who want quick access to standout courses, plus somewhere genuinely calm to switch off afterwards. Faro Airport is around 40 minutes away and you're close to four of the area's best-known courses: Benamor (about 7 minutes), Quinta da Ria and Quinta de Cima (around 15 minutes each), and Monte Rei (around 20 minutes). In other words, you can get plenty of variety in without losing time to transfers.

The hotel sits by the lagoon and takes a sensible approach to sustainability, including a solar-powered boat shuttle to the beach and a kitchen that leans into local fish and Algarve produce. On-site, the rooftop bar is the obvious post-round spot, with views over the water and birdlife, and there are three restaurants to cover everything from laid-back lunches to smarter evening dining. Wellness is a big part of the appeal too, with access to the AP Elements SPA thermal area included, plus indoor and outdoor pools and a gym that's actually worth using.

Tavira is about 10 minutes away by taxi, ideal if you fancy an evening out for seafood and Portuguese classics like Dom Rodrigo or Pudim de Laranja. It's a proper town centre that hasn't been turned into a resort strip, which makes a change of scene feel worthwhile.

Who is this for? Couples or groups who want a quiet adults-only hotel, short transfers to the Eastern Algarve's best courses and a proper spa for recovery days.

Who is it best for? Golfers building a multi-course itinerary around Monte Rei, Quinta da Ria and Quinta de Cima, who'd rather spend time on the terrace than in a transfer van.

Accommodation at AP Cabanas Beach & Nature

AP Cabanas Beach & Nature has 340 rooms, all light, modern and geared towards switching off after a day in the sun. Expect air conditioning, a balcony or terrace and a choice of outlook depending on what you book, with options that look towards the pools, the lagoon or out towards the Atlantic.

Standard rooms are simple, comfortable and well set up for a golf break. Clean-lined décor, practical storage and a good base if you plan to be out on the course most days. Step up to a Superior room for a bit more space and, typically, a better view over the water. If you're travelling as a four-ball and like having a separate spot to review the scorecards, the larger suites are the pick, with extra living space that makes sharing feel a lot less cramped. Décor is contemporary without trying too hard, pale wood, neutral tones and enough storage to unpack your entire golf bag if that's your style.

Food and drink is a strong point here. The main restaurant covers breakfast and themed dinner service, while a more relaxed poolside option handles lighter lunches, grilled fish and daytime plates. For the evening, there's an à la carte restaurant that puts local seafood and Algarve flavours front and centre. The rooftop bar is the natural meeting point after golf, especially at sunset, cold beer and enough small plates to keep you going until dinner. There's also a lobby bar for coffee or a quieter nightcap.

Leisure facilities are geared towards recovery. Access to the AP Elements SPA thermal area is included, a welcome extra for a golf break, with a sauna, Turkish bath and Jacuzzi, and treatments such as massages and facials are available at an extra cost. The gym is modern, well-equipped and gets decent natural light. Two outdoor pools sit in landscaped gardens, and the heated indoor pool is there when the weather turns or you want to loosen up before an early tee time. Add it all up and you've got enough on-site to justify a rest day between rounds.

If you're planning an Eastern Algarve golf break, it's an easy one to build into a short-transfer itinerary with Monte Rei and Quinta da Ria on the tee sheet.
