The location offers pristine beaches, designer shops, a lively marina, world-class golf and access to the region's natural and cultural treasures.
The Victoria Golf Resort & Spa offers 260 rooms and suites in two wings, each with a private balcony overlooking the golf course, gardens or the Algarve countryside.

Month of December
Throughout December, Victoria Golf Resort & Spa brings the holiday season to life with a specially designed Christmas events calendar. Festive tastings take center stage as the wineries near the hotel and the region's rich culinary heritage are reflected in a series of drink tastings ranging from classic port to warming gluten-free. In addition, there is a hands-on ginger martini master class. For guests looking for creative expression, a ceramic Portuguese tile painting workshop offers the opportunity to create a personalized souvenir under the guidance of a local family studio dedicated to preserving this traditional craft. The seasonal fun continues with gingerbread house decorating and a chocolate log making workshop, Trunk de Natal, perfect for all ages.
