The Magnolia Hotel

Set inside Quinta do Lago and part of our Signature Collection, The Magnolia Hotel is a boutique base built for golfers who want everything close and easy. You're right in the resort, with Quinta do Lago's three championship layouts a quick hop away, plus the wider Algarve on the doorstep.

It's an easy run from the UK too. The hotel is around 20 minutes from Faro Airport and about seven minutes from the nearest beach, so you can land, drop your bags and be on the range or down by the sea without burning half a day on transfers.

The vibe is relaxed but smart, with Miami-inspired design, an outdoor pool, a spa and a lively bar that keeps going into the early hours. If you're travelling as a group, it's the kind of place that works for serious golf in the day and a few post-round drinks at night, without the size and formality of a big resort hotel. The restaurant focuses on freshly prepared dishes with a Mediterranean slant, leaning on local Algarve ingredients, and there's enough going on to keep non-golfers happy if you're bringing partners or family along.

Who is this for?

Golfers who want a boutique base inside Quinta do Lago, with top-class courses close by and the Algarve's beach scene within easy reach.

Who is it best for?

Couples and groups who like a stylish hotel and a lively post-round atmosphere, plus golfers who want variety across Quinta do Lago and nearby Vale do Lobo.

Accommodation at The Magnolia Hotel

The Magnolia Hotel has 74 modern, air-conditioned rooms in a low-rise set-up that feels more private than a typical resort block. Each room comes with a private veranda, handy for an early coffee before your tee time or a quiet wind-down after dinner. Expect clean, contemporary interiors, good natural light and the practical comforts you want on a golf break.

Facilities lean towards easy downtime between rounds. There's an outdoor swimming pool that catches the sun most of the day, a spa offering treatments and relaxation areas, plus a small cinema room and an entertainment space with table tennis and an Xbox. It's a good fit for mixed groups where not everyone is playing 36 holes a day.

Food and drink are kept relaxed. The restaurant serves freshly prepared dishes with a Mediterranean feel and local Algarve ingredients, while the bar is the social hub and typically runs late. Breakfast is often included in packages and sets you up properly for a day on the course, while dinner is well-executed without being overly formal.

For golfers, it's the simple stuff that makes the difference. You're less than five minutes by car from the three Quinta do Lago courses and close to the two Vale do Lobo layouts, and there's a complimentary shuttle to the three Quinta do Lago courses. Less time organising lifts means more time warming up properly, or grabbing a coffee before the first tee. The shuttle runs throughout the day, so you can book early or late slots without worrying about hire cars or navigating unfamiliar roads.

The hotel strikes a strong balance between style, convenience and genuine golfer-friendly service. You get the boutique feel and the Miami-inspired design, but the real appeal is how straightforward everything is once you arrive. Courses are close, logistics are sorted and you can focus on the golf rather than the admin.

The Magnolia is a relaxed, well-designed small hotel with attractive public spaces and comfortable rooms. The staff are extremely helpful and friendly. My only reservation is that the bathroom is cramped and the closet is less than roomy.

Our second time at the magnolia. This is a great hotel but the upstairs rooms are not blessed with a big bathroom . I cannot fault the hotel we will be back.

Great little hotel, with very friendly staff and wonderful facilities. Close to good golf courses and restaurants. Rooms were quite small, but very clean and comfortable.

Overall a very positive stay. The rooms are nicely done but probably most comfortable for single occupancy. The rooms don’t have a mini bar or tea/coffee making facilities. All very clean and modern. The breakfasts were really good and we had the biggest club sandwich ever in the bar one evening. Staff were all very helpful and friendly. Plenty of parking. Decent location between Quinta do Lago and Vale do Lobo. Overall vibe is neon American motel but with genuine friendly service. Will come again.

This hotel would not be out of place on a Miami strip- neon lighting, pastel colouring and the motel style room blocks. It is all very on trend and comfortable, it is relaxing, yet efficient. The staff are amazing. Breakfasts are extremely good, good quality food , fresh hot provision , good coffee. Although they offer a restaurant in the evening, we didn't use it as it's the same as breakfast and just doesn't compete for atmosphere as a true eatery can. The rooms are small but it's a super king very comfortable bed or same as twins. Modern flat screen tv with all the provision of news and sports channels so good. Worst aspect is the bathroom, to small almost for one but the showers are good. This is a good place for golfers for 3/4 nights but I wouldn't come here just for a holiday. Incidentally, during our stay the ladies danish football team were staying and completely took over the gym, spa and cinema area so we had no access to these facilities.
