Set against the backdrop of the Algarve’s stunning coastline, Victoria Golf Resort & Spa, Managed by Accor, is one of the premier destinations for golfers in Southern Europe.
Located just 30 minutes from Faro International Airport, the 260-room resort is set in a prime location at the heart of Vilamoura’s elite golf circuit, overlooking the world-renowned The Els Club Vilamoura, the region’s newest private golf club.
Guests can tee off at Laguna, a classic links-style course with water hazards and tree-lined fairways, or Millennium, a more open layout featuring pine-lined holes from three to seven.
Those seeking variety can explore further afield to experience the Old Course, the Algarve’s second oldest course, which weaves through pine forest; Pinhal, an undulating parkland course lined with trees; Vila Sol, a championship course spanning 30 hectares of almond and fig trees, streams, and lakes; or Vale do Lobo’s Royal and Ocean courses, including the Royal’s famous 16th cliff-top hole. Quinta do Lago’s trio of courses offer further challenges and scenic beauty, with the South course recently renovated to championship standard.
After a day on the fairways, golfers can unwind at the Victoria Spa, where treatments are designed specifically for players. The Golfer’s Deep Tissue Massage relieves muscle tension and improves flexibility, while the Golfer’s Stretch enhances range of motion and supports a smoother, more powerful swing.
Between rounds, guests can relax in one of the hotel’s four swimming pools, dine at RIA restaurant for a taste of the Portuguese coast or the Victoria restaurant, or enjoy a drink at Botanic. Spacious rooms and suites all include private balconies overlooking the course, gardens, or Algarve countryside.
Guests can enhance their stay with tailored golf offers such as The Victoria Golf Experience, including daily breakfast, complimentary transfers, and a green fee at Millennium, Pinhal, or Laguna, or The Victoria Grand Golf Getaway, featuring daily breakfast, green fees at The Old Course, and complimentary transfers.
The management of the Victoria Golf Resort & Spa was taken on by world-leading hospitality group Accor in April 2025, and following the completion of range of enhancements will be rebranded as a Fairmont property, aligning with Fairmont Hotels & Resorts’ portfolio of golf facilities and natural settings. Accor and Fairmont Hotels & Resorts are collaborating with Arrow Global Group on this strategic move.
Fairmont Hotels & Resorts CEO Omer Acar said: “Vilamoura is one of Portugal’s most exciting and sought-after destinations. Coupled with the hotel’s world-class golf course in a stunning natural setting, this property is an ideal fit for Fairmont. We look forward to working closely with Arrow Global Group to introduce the first Fairmont property in Portugal, while continuing to strengthen our presence in Southern Europe.”
