Algarve Marriott Salgados Golf Resort & Conference

Relaxation and indulgence go hand in hand at this luxurious hotel that ticks off everything from family-friendly facilities to a state-of-the-art spa and wellness centre. The location is a winner, too, especially for any avid golfers, who’ll love the 18-hole course that’s right on the doorstep. If you’re more of a beach baby, on the other hand, a stretch of world-class sandy coastline is just a 20-minute meander away.

So, what’ll it be? An early-morning tee time, an indulgent treatment in the spa, or a relaxing afternoon of lazing on the shoreline? If you don’t fancy stretching your legs – or you’ve got tots in tow – between May and October, the hotel lays on a handy shuttle to whizz you back and forth to the local beach.
