According to booking data from family-run Glencor Golf Holidays, based in York, Vilamoura attracts UK golfers seeking high-quality courses and luxury accommodation.
The trend reflects a broader shift towards fewer, higher-quality trips among UK golfers.
Corrie Renton, co-director of Glencor Golf Holidays, said: “Vilamoura golf holidays consistently deliver the full premium experience.”
“You have a collection of exceptional courses, a wide range of high-quality hotels, and everything is close together, which makes it incredibly convenient for golfers.
“What we’re seeing from our customers is a shift towards fewer trips, but better trips.
“Golfers want to make the most of their time away, and destinations like Vilamoura that offer guaranteed quality across courses and accommodation are becoming the obvious choice.”
Glencor’s analysis compared hotels and courses across the Algarve using its own Glencor Score, which factors in average hotel ratings, TripAdvisor scores, and course rankings.
Vilamoura scored 4.1 out of 5 for both golf and accommodation.
The resort is home to standout courses like the Old Course Vilamoura and a selection of four- and five-star hotels.
