Marriott Residences Salgados Resort is a handy Western Algarve base if you want sunshine, beach time and plenty of golf within easy reach. You're close to Albufeira for evenings out, while the resort itself feels relaxed and spacious, with landscaped gardens and a short walk to Salgados Beach.
From a golfer's point of view, the big selling point is location. There are loads of well-known Algarve courses within roughly half an hour's drive, so you can mix up your week rather than playing the same track on repeat. If you fancy keeping it simple, you've also got the excellent Salgados Golf Course right next door, plus practice areas for a warm-up before your tee time.
Off the course, you've got 10 outdoor pools dotted around the complex, two restaurants and two bars for an easy post-round drink. Families are well covered too, thanks to the Kids Club and seasonal entertainment. On rest days, there's plenty nearby, from boat trips and water sports to long beach walks when you want something a bit quieter.
If you're weighing up where to stay in the region, this one works particularly well for groups who want quality golf and a comfortable resort base, with the option of heading into town when the après-golf mood strikes. It's the kind of place that ticks the key boxes for a Portugal golf week without feeling like you're stuck in the middle of nowhere.
