Praia D'El Rey Golf Holidays, apartment rental Praia del Rey Resort, Silver Coast, Portugal

Praia D'el Rey Apartment

Praia D'el Rey is a beautiful exclusive golf and beach resort set amongst extensive pine forests and alongside the fabulous Silver Coast beaches. Its world ranked golf course and luxurious clubhouse facilities make this a golfers dream. However, you don't have to be a golfer to enjoy this resort – we don’t play golf, but love the resort!

This is a holiday to relax, soak up the sun, swim and enjoy the warm Portuguese welcome. Anybody looking for a more hectic and frantic holiday, should probably look further south in Portugal.

The fabulous Praia D'el Rey beach is just a 3 minute walk from our apartment. It stretches for miles in each direction, giving everyone plenty of space (even at the height of the season), and allows you to walk, sunbathe, paddle and swim.

The resort Clubhouse is less than a 5 minute drive from the apartment and is very family friendly with a bar, large lounge area, TV's, dining tables, and a large outdoor terrace. Excellent food is served throughout the day and evening, and there is also a more formal restaurant which is open every evening. Residents can also visit the 5* Marriott Hotel which is about a 5 minute drive from the apartment. The hotel boasts three restaurants and numerous bars which non residents can use. There is also a luxury spa, gym and pools which can be used at extra cost.

Accommodation

Our beautifully furnished and extensively equipped, 3 bedroom/3 bathroom apartment is in a stunning beach village setting within the PDR resort, and is just a three minute walk to the glorious sandy beach that runs for miles along the Silver Coast.

The property has 3 bedrooms, and 2 full bathrooms (1 in ensuite master bedroom). There is also an extra cloakroom off the hallway. The apartment is on the ground floor and includes an open plan living and dining room, and a good sized well equipped kitchen.

There is also very large sea-view terrace with outside furniture (dinning table, chairs and sun loungers), that gets the sun for almost all of the day – my favourite place for an early evening drink!

The Kitchen has everything you would expect from electric oven, microwave and gas hob to utilities such as a dishwasher, washing machine/dryer, fridge/freezer and breakfast table. There is a spacious lounge/dining area with dining table and seating for 6 people, 2 large sofas, coffee table, TV, DVD including a selection of films, Playstation 2 plus controllers and a selection of games, and a CD player. Broadband wifi access is provided by dedicated router in the apartment (access code will be provided).There is also a matching unit in the dining area housing a selection of board games, books, playing cards etc, to keep everyone busy.

All linen and apartment towels (but not beach towels) are provided, and the apartment will be cleaned fully before each arrival and after each departure.

Underground car parking is available very close to the apartment and above ground parking is also available.

The apartment has an on-demand water system, is fully centrally heated and has a stylish wood burner in the lounge area for those cool autumn/winter nights!

Golf

On the Praia D'el Rey site the 18 hole par 72 championship links course is rated among the best in Europe. With spectacular views over the Atlantic and the Berlengas Islands, it offers a challenging round of golf for all standards of player.

Nearby, the new Bom Sucesso course opened in September 2008 and is a 20 minute drive away. Please be aware that the courses require a handicap certificate.

Praia D'el Rey is situated on Portugal's unspoiled west coast and less than one hours drive from Lisbon International Airport. The area is known as the Silver Coast - or Costa da Prata in Portuguese - and the natural attractions of the Atlantic setting include great golf courses, huge beaches, surfing and body-boarding and some fabulous diving off the nearby Berlengas Islands.

The Silver Coast is quiet and spacious, when compared with other Portuguese holiday areas It's less developed (although this is now starting to change) and the local towns and villages retain their traditional character. Please see below for some ideas of local towns to visit, shop and eat in.

The local Praia Del Rey beach stretches for many miles in both directions from the resort and is excellent for sunbathing, walking and surfing.
