Praia D'El Rey Marriott Golf & Beach Resort
Amoreira
Overview
Located on Portugal’s stunning Silver Coast, the Praia D'El Rey Marriott Golf & Beach Resort is a spectacular destination combining championship golf, luxurious accommodations, and breathtaking ocean views. Just an hour’s drive from Lisbon and near the historic town of Óbidos, this resort offers a unique blend of beachside relaxation and world-class golf, making it one of Portugal’s most sought-after golf and beach resorts.
Set along the rugged Atlantic coastline, Praia D'El Rey is famous for its dramatic scenery, with towering cliffs, golden sandy beaches, and rolling dunes. The resort sits on an expansive 230-hectare property, giving guests a sense of space and tranquility, with sweeping views of the ocean and the surrounding natural landscape. The pristine beach, directly accessible from the resort, is perfect for leisurely walks, sunbathing, or water sports, creating a complete coastal escape.
At the heart of the resort is the Praia D'El Rey Golf Course, one of Europe’s top-ranked golf courses, designed by the renowned architect Cabell B. Robinson. Opened in 1997, this par-73, links-style course takes full advantage of its stunning seaside location, offering golfers a memorable challenge with its combination of seaside and parkland holes.
The course features wide fairways flanked by lush dunes, undulating greens, and strategically placed bunkers. Its signature holes run along the coastline, providing breathtaking views of the Atlantic Ocean. The wind is a key factor, adding an element of unpredictability to every round. The course’s most famous hole, the 12th, is a stunning par-5 that runs parallel to the beach, requiring careful navigation of the dunes and ocean winds.
Praia D'El Rey is regularly ranked among the top courses in Europe and is known for hosting prestigious tournaments, including the Portuguese Open. The course is challenging but fair, making it suitable for golfers of all levels, from beginners to professionals.
In addition to the championship course, the resort offers excellent practice facilities, including a driving range, short-game area, and professional golf academy. The resort's golf school provides private lessons and clinics, making it ideal for golfers looking to improve their game while enjoying a luxurious vacation.
The Praia D'El Rey Marriott offers a wide range of luxurious accommodations, including stylish guest rooms and suites, many with private balconies overlooking the Atlantic Ocean or the golf course. Each room is elegantly appointed, blending contemporary comfort with classic Portuguese design elements. The resort’s spacious suites provide extra luxury, with separate living areas and larger terraces, perfect for watching the sunset over the Atlantic.
For families or groups, the resort also offers private villas and townhouses with multiple bedrooms, fully equipped kitchens, and private pools, giving guests a home-away-from-home experience while still enjoying the amenities of a five-star resort.
Praia D'El Rey is home to a variety of dining options, offering something for every palate. The resort’s signature restaurant, Tempera, offers a delightful array of Mediterranean-inspired dishes, with a focus on fresh, locally sourced seafood and seasonal ingredients. Guests can enjoy a sophisticated dining experience with panoramic views of the ocean.
For a more casual option, Contato provides an all-day dining experience, serving a wide selection of international dishes, while The Cliffs Clubhouse is perfect for a post-round meal, offering light bites, hearty sandwiches, and a relaxed atmosphere overlooking the 9th hole of the golf course.
During the summer months, the Beachfront Restaurant is a favorite, where guests can savor freshly grilled seafood and Portuguese specialties right on the shore, making for a perfect end to a day of sun, sand, and golf.
The resort’s Kalyan Spa offers a tranquil retreat where guests can unwind after a day on the course or beach. The spa features a variety of treatments, from traditional massages to modern beauty therapies, all designed to relax and rejuvenate. The spa also includes a Turkish bath, sauna, and a heated indoor pool with views of the garden.
Guests can also take advantage of the resort’s outdoor pool and fitness center, or participate in the wide range of activities offered, including tennis, biking, and guided coastal hikes. The beachfront location also makes it easy to explore water sports such as surfing, windsurfing, and paddleboarding.
Beyond the resort, guests can explore some of Portugal’s most beautiful and culturally rich destinations. The nearby medieval town of Óbidos, with its well-preserved castle and charming cobbled streets, is a must-visit for history lovers. Wine enthusiasts can visit the surrounding vineyards, known for producing some of Portugal’s finest wines.
For nature lovers, the Berlengas Islands, a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve just off the coast, offers incredible opportunities for hiking, birdwatching, and exploring the island’s crystal-clear waters through snorkeling and boat trips.
Praia D'El Rey Marriott Golf & Beach Resort is a family-friendly destination, offering a range of activities for children, including a kids’ club, playground, and specially designed family suites.
