JJW Hotels & Resorts have luxury hotels in Paris, Vienna and the Cote d’Azur but it is their properties in the Algarve that are best known to golfers.
Penina Hotel & Golf Resort, Dona Filipa Hotel and Formosa Park Apartment Hotel are some of the best-known places to stay in the Algarve and have long been recognised for their quality and the service they provide.
The Penina Hotel & Golf Resort, below, has three golf courses on site including the famous Henry Cotton Championship course, which has hosted the Portuguese Open on several occasions.

It was the first golf course to be built in the Algarve and has a rich heritage, history and atmosphere that everyone will enjoy. This five-star resort has 188 rooms and suites, some of which have pool views and some mountain views. There are eight restaurants and bars, including a beach restaurant and lounge, and a whole host of amenities to enhance your stay.
Dona Filipa Hotel, below, is also a five-star property set in the Vale do Lobo area of the Algarve and, as well as providing high quality accommodation, its guests can play on the magnificent San Lorenzo Golf Course and at the 27-hole Pinheiros Altos Golf Course.
The hotel is in front of one of the best beaches in the region, while the resort is located within the Ria Formosa Nature Reserve. There are 154 rooms and suites and the hotel was extensively refurbished in 2013 and again in 2017. It now combines contemporary fixtures and fittings yet still retains a traditional feel. There are two restaurants on site offering excellent food using fresh local ingredients.

San Lorenzo, main image, has regularly been voted among the top 20 courses in Europe and the lush fairways that wind through stunning scenery will make it a course you won’t forget in a hurry.
Pinheitos Altos Golf Course, meanwhile, offers three loops of nine holes that can be played in any combination, while it also boasts a state-of-the-art Academy equipped with the most advanced technology.
The third property in the JJW portfolio is the four-star Formosa Park Apartment Hotel which, again, is situated in the Vale do Lobo area within the Rio Formosa Nature Reserve.
It offers spacious one and two-bedroom apartments as well as excellent facilities such as two swimming pools and an on-site restaurant and bar.

JJW Hotels & Resorts have announced that it is to undergo a complete refurbishment and will be completed in time for the 2019 summer season. Like Dona Filipa, guests can enjoy the privilege of playing at San Lorenzo and nearby Pinheiros Altos course. It’s a great opportunity to play one of Europe’s best golf courses at a price that won’t break the budget, while still enjoying four-star standards.
