ALGARVE GOLF

The Algarve’s golf courses rival any in the world. The most prestigious is Monte Rei, a challenging Jack Nicklaus-designed par 72 where each hole can’t be seen from the next and it feels as though you have the whole thing to yourself. Keep an eye out for the 16th hole on the Val de Lobo Royal Course — it features a 218m carry between two clifftops to reach the green from the championship tee. Quinta do Lago is a golf-focused resort, with three courses and a Paul McGinley Golf Academy offering lessons for adults and kids.

SKYDIVING IN THE ALGARVE

Skydiving in the Algarve is the perfect activity to make a holiday or an important moment in your life simply unforgettable. With your heart in your throat and a bit of genuine fear, you can enjoy a highly adrenaline-filled freefall followed by a calmer, more panoramic parachute flight.
