Buying a Golf Property in Algarve - Resorts from East to West

16 July, 2025

The Algarve is one of the most attractive destinations in Europe for luxury property buyers. With year-round sunshine, dozens of award-winning golf courses, and high-quality real estate, our region offers an unbeatable combination of leisure and investment potential.
 

Why invest in a golf property in the Algarve?
1. Exceptional location - Golf properties are often situated in incredible locations, typically benefiting from beautiful natural surroundings and a sense of privacy that's hard to find elsewhere.

2. Year-round living - Unlike many seasonal destinations, Algarve golf resorts thrive throughout the year and residents enjoy access to amenities like spas, gyms, swimming pools, and kids' clubs all year long.

3. Property value - Golf properties tend to stay in demand and maintain their value over time. Homes with views of the course are especially popular and can increase in value as the area grows.

4. Potential income - Golf properties in the Algarve are highly sought-after for holiday rentals. Well-located and well-maintained properties can yield attractive returns, especially when professionally managed.
