Portugal: A five-star boutique hotel has opened at the Onyria Palmares Beach & Golf Resort on the Algarve.
The Onyria Palmares Beach House Hotel has 18 rooms and two suites, each with a sea view and a balcony or terrace. It is close to the tees and practice area of the resort’s Robert Trent Jones Jnr-designed 27-hole golf course.
The hotel also has an outdoor swimming pool and a 180° bar and restaurant 700 metres from the beach.
The family-owned 27-hole complex, in Lagos, has won the Publituris Portugal Travel Award for Portugal’s best golf course for five successive years, and was ranked in the country’s top three, by Golf Digest.
The resort’s operations director, António Pinto Coelho, said: “The original blueprint when the 27 holes were reopened was to include a luxury boutique hotel overlooking the site and we’re delighted we have been able to fulfil that part of the plan. There is, of course, no shortage of accommodation in the Algarve but we feel the quality of the Onyria Palmares Beach House Hotel and its unique location, adjacent to the golf course and overlooking the picturesque Lagos Bay and the long beach of Meia Praia, will ensure it stands above the majority of the competition and becomes a ‘must visit’ for golfers and non-golfers alike.”
