The accolade is the second year in a row that the resort has claimed the coveted honour and comes as Praia D’El Rey’s owners continue to invest significantly in enhancing its guest experience across the property.
Over the past year, the resort has completed a series of high-profile renovations designed to elevate its five-star hospitality offering. All restaurants have been fully renovated, with Emprata reopening earlier this year and work underway currently at Tempera. Both the Pool Bar and Oceano Bar have also been completely renovated and are now welcoming guests once again.
The upgrades follow the 2023 renovation of the hotel’s Kalyan Spa and indoor pool area, which introduced new hydrotherapy and relaxation facilities, completing a comprehensive modernisation of Praia D’El Rey’s leisure spaces.
The details
António Esteves, hotel general manager at Praia D’El Rey Marriott Golf & Beach Resort, said: “It is a tremendous honour to once again receive Portugal’s Best Golf Hotel award at the World Golf Awards.
“Our continued investment in the resort’s facilities ensures that every element of a guest’s stay meets the exceptional quality our visitors expect, and this award is testament to not only the ongoing investment but also the dedication of every member of the team.”
Gonçalo Costa, director of golf at Praia D’El Rey Marriott Golf & Beach Resort, added: “This award reflects the commitment we have made to continuous improvement and to providing golfers with a truly world-class experience both on and off the courses.”
Located on Portugal’s Silver Coast, the resort is home to two acclaimed 18-hole courses: the Cabell Robinson-designed Praia D’El Rey layout and West Cliffs Golf Links, created by Cynthia Dye. Together they offer one of Europe’s most sought-after 36-hole golf destinations, combining dramatic Atlantic views with exceptional design and service.
