Luxury 5 Star Resort & Golf Facilities

From the moment you arrive at Monte Rei, it's clear this is more than just a golf course — it's a complete, five-star golfing retreat designed for those who value precision, privacy, and excellence.

Accommodation is spread across elegant, fully serviced villas and residences in a quiet village-style setting overlooking the course. These range from spacious one- to four-bedroom options, all finished to a premium standard.

For golfers, Monte Rei offers the ideal base. The villas and residences provide ample space for groups, with generous living areas that are perfect for pre-round planning or winding down after a day on the course. Daily housekeeping and concierge services ensure every detail is taken care of, allowing you to focus fully on your game. Best of all, you're just moments from the first tee, the clubhouse, and the full range of practice facilities — with no long drives or transfers to worry about.

The golf facilities themselves are world-class, purpose-built for serious play. The Jack Nicklaus Signature Course is ranked among Europe’s finest, known for its immaculate conditioning, strategic layout, and the rare luxury of no residential development interfering with the golfing experience.

Players can warm up at an expansive driving range with grass tees, refine their short game in dedicated practice areas, and prepare using high-quality Titleist balls provided before each round — a small but telling detail that reflects Monte Rei’s commitment to quality. After play, the elegant clubhouse offers everything from a well-stocked pro shop and top-tier locker rooms to a panoramic terrace, perfect for reviewing the day over a drink or two.

Designed by Jack Nicklaus

Created by the legendary Golden Bear, Monte Rei is consistently ranked among the finest courses in Europe.

Set a short walk from the dramatic cliffs and turquoise waters of São Rafael Beach, the hotel’s location is quietly idyllic — close enough to Albufeira’s energy, but far enough to feel like your own coastal sanctuary. Inside, suites are crisp and modern, many with balconies overlooking the sea or gardens.

The hotel’s direct partnership with Salgados, Morgado, and Álamos — three of the Algarve’s most characterful and scenic courses, each just a short shuttle ride away. Salgados offers links-style play beside protected wetlands. Morgado rolls through olive groves with long fairways and generous landing zones. And Álamos?

With shuttles arranged, tee times pre-booked, and excellent food and drink waiting at day’s end, this is golf travel stripped of stress — and dressed in style.
