Located between Portimão and Alvor, the Penina estate enjoys a highly sought-after location in the western Algarve, about 6 km from Portimão and 4 km from Alvor. It is easily reached via the A22 or the N125, while remaining just a few minutes’ drive from the beaches of Alvor, Praia do Vau and Praia da Rocha, as well as restaurants, services, international schools and the marina. This area offers a very quiet residential setting, mainly made up of villas surrounded by mature gardens, away from the bustle of denser tourist zones, yet close to everything that makes daily life in the Algarve both charming and convenient. The Penina Hotel & Golf Resort, set in the heart of around 360 hectares of gardens and green spaces, is an iconic 5-star resort, regarded as one of the cradles of golf in the Algarve. Opened in the 1960s, it played a major role in making the region a benchmark destination for international golfers. Its setting stands out for broad landscaped vistas, tree-lined avenues and an elegant, discreet atmosphere, ideal both for extended stays and for year-round living. The main golf course, the Sir Henry Cotton Championship Course, is an 18-hole championship course designed by Sir Henry Cotton himself and often described as his masterpiece, with wide fairways lined by mature trees, finely protected greens and nature ever-present. It has hosted top-level professional competitions on several occasions, strengthening its reputation among the most demanding players. The estate also offers a 9-hole course and practice facilities, making it a complete venue for all golfer profiles, from beginners to experienced players. Beyond golf, Penina offers a wide range of sports and leisure facilities, with preferential conditions for villa owners: a large outdoor pool often presented as one of the largest private open-air pools in the Algarve, five tennis courts, a fitness room, massages, sauna and relaxation areas. Families also benefit from a kids’ club and activities dedicated to children, making the resort particularly attractive both for year-round use and for holidays. In terms of lifestyle, the resort has five restaurants offering Portuguese, Italian and international cuisine, children’s menus and themed evenings, as well as four bars serving snacks and cocktails throughout the day. This level of services, rare in an environment dominated by private villas, enhances Penina’s appeal for clients seeking an elegant, secure and comfortable living environment, halfway between the tranquillity of the countryside and the proximity of the sea. Living or investing in Penina means enjoying a valuable balance between residential calm, historic golf, abundant nature and quick access to the beaches and the lively life of Alvor and Portimão
