Golf at Villa Lux Luz

The perfect base for your golf trip

The western Algarve is one of Europe's great golfing destinations, and Villa Lux Luz sits right in the middle of it. Five superb courses lie within a 20-minute drive of the villa, from clifftop layouts with Atlantic views to championship courses that have hosted the professional tours.

Off the course, the villa is made for golfing groups. Everyone gets their own en-suite bedroom, there is plenty of space to relax together, and the fully equipped kitchen and outdoor dining areas make it easy to cater for the whole party, or let a private chef do the work while you talk through the day's round.

Best of all, the Algarve's golfing season peaks in the cooler months, and so does our flexibility. Between November and March we offer any-day changeovers and shorter stays, so a long-weekend golf break works just as well as a full week.

  • 10 en-suite bedrooms, sleeping up to 20 (30 on request), so no arguments over who gets the sofa bed!
  • 5 stunning golf courses within 20 minutes of the villa, the nearest just 5 minutes away
  • Spacious outdoor areas for group activities, including pool, jacuzzi, sauna and gym
  • Fully equipped kitchen and dining facilities, with private chef hire available
  • Sea views and a relaxing ambience for the 19th hole back at the villa
  • Flexible any-day changeovers and long-weekend breaks from November to March, at our best rates of the year
