Hyatt Regency Vilamoura Algarve

There are 266 rooms across nine floors, finished in a clean, contemporary style that suits a golf trip, especially if you're sharing twins and want everything straightforward. In-room you've got air-conditioning, a safe deposit box, minibar, satellite TV, direct dial telephone and internet access. The décor is modern throughout, avoiding the dated feel you sometimes get with older Algarve resorts, and the layout works well for golf groups who want space to spread out without feeling like they're staying in a sprawling complex.

Room types range from standard doubles through to elegant suites, which are worth considering if you're celebrating a milestone trip or simply want more space after a long day on the course. The suites offer separate living areas and upgraded amenities, making them a solid choice for couples or small groups who value comfort and privacy. If you're the type who likes to spread out after 36 holes, the extra living space makes a difference.

For dining, the main restaurant is Brasa Coastal Steakhouse, which focuses on charcoal-grilled meats, seafood and gourmet specialities inspired by the Algarve coast. It's a proper sit-down option with a menu that goes beyond the usual resort buffet fare. If you're looking for something lighter, the Lume Lobby & Bar offers an elegant, intimate setting with crafted beverages and light snacks, while the Terrace Pool & Bar provides a more relaxed atmosphere for tropical cocktails and casual bites during the warmer months (seasonal opening).

The resort's leisure facilities include an outdoor pool with surrounding sun terrace, three tennis courts, a volleyball court, games room and sauna. The Aquae SPA is a strong addition, offering a diverse range of treatments, massages and relaxation options, plus a well-equipped fitness room for those who want to stay active between rounds. For families, there's dedicated entertainment for kids, meaning non-golfing partners and children have plenty to keep them occupied while you're out playing.

The hotel sits within the town of Vilamoura itself, approximately 30 minutes west of Faro Airport, making transfers straightforward and giving you immediate access to the marina, restaurants and nightlife once you're done on the course.
