If for one reason or another, the plan to take off and play the holes of some of the most picturesque courses has passed you by in recent times, you will be keen to find out why you should bite the bullet and head off to the land of luxury with your golf clubs in tow.

Nonetheless, perhaps you have visited the sunkissed regions of Quinta do Lago, Vale do Lobo and Vilamoura before? You won't need us to tell you just how magical this corner of the world can be.

As we approach June, July and August, everyone begins to long for a holiday and let their hair down. A break away on the award winning golf courses of Algarve could be just up your street. After all, what could be better than being in good company, fabulous surroundings, relaxing by the pool and swinging into action on the fairway?

Let's take a look at some of the reasons you should consider Algarve as your next summer golf holiday:

Get away and revel in luxury

The first reason on our list is an obvious one. If you are a member of a golf club back home or simply want to play your favourite sport in a new environment, testing your handicap on the best courses - there shouldn't be any convincing needed to jump on a plane, tee off and enjoy the rest of your time relaxing in luxury.

Furthemore, this might be one of the first opportunities since the global pandemic, where you can enjoy your freedom, get away from the norm and simply enjoy what you love most in sunshine surroundings.

Enjoy summer sunshine

There is nothing better than going away to your favourite destination abroad during the summer months. Lapping up the summer sun, relaxing and partaking in your favourite activities are what many tourists associate with Algarve at this time of year.

It is worth noting that The Algarve basks in around 3000 hours of sun per year and receives over 300 days of sun per year. This makes it one of the sunniest regions in Europe throughout the four seasons.

If it all becomes a bit too hot, then a walk to the local beach or a private swimming pool in your luxury villa is never far away…
