The great thing about playing at Salgados Golf Club is that it’s surrounded by fantastic hotels. The golf course is located within a resort complex that includes three accommodation options, all recently refurbished, and all now part of the Marriott portfolio, meaning golfers can walk from their room to the first tee without factoring in a commute.
Here’s how the stay and play packages work, and which resort might suit you best.
Salgados Golf Club Highlights
- Course: Salgados Golf Club, 18 holes, par 72, Albufeira, Algarve

- Package format: Typically structured as nights + rounds + breakfast (e.g. 3 nights / 2 rounds, 5 nights / 3 rounds)

Which Resort Suits Your Trip
The three resorts share the same location and access to Salgados Golf Club, but are genuinely different in character, so the right one depends on who you’re travelling with.
For Couples and Leisure Travelers – Algarve Marriott Salgados Golf Resort & Spa
With 228 rooms and suites, four outdoor pools, and the on-site Wellness Hub Salgados
spa, this resort leans into relaxed, elevated leisure travel. It suits couples and golfers
who want the full golf resort experience; spa time, curated dining, and panoramic views,
alongside their golf rounds. It also has meeting space on-site, making it a reasonable
option for smaller corporate or society golf trips as well.
For Beach and Wellness Focused Travelers – The Westin Salgados Beach Resort
A five-star property with direct access to Salgados Beach and a strong focus on
recovery and wellbeing (the resort partners with Hyperice and Bala on recovery and
training equipment), the Westin suits golfers who want their trip built around the coast
as much as the golf course. It’s a strong pick for golfers who want to combine golf with
beach time and are conscious of recovery between rounds. Useful if you’re playing
multiple golf courses across a Algarve golf holiday.
For Families and Group Travelers – Marriott Residences Salgados Resort
With 172 suites ranging from one to three bedrooms, ten pools, a kids’ club, and playground facilities, this resort is built for families and larger groups who want more space and self-sufficiency than a standard hotel room offers. The apartment-style suites make it easier to split costs and space across a group, while the on-site restaurants and bars mean you’re not dependent on cooking for yourself. It’s also a practical option for golf groups of eight or more looking for multi-bedroom units rather than booking rooms individually.
What’s Typically Included
While exact inclusions vary by resort and package, stay and play bookings at Salgados generally include:
- Accommodation for the selected number of nights
- A set number of golf rounds at Salgados Golf Club
- Daily breakfast
- Access to each resort’s own facilities (pools, spa, kids’ club, etc., depending on property)
Some packages also offer half-board options or discounts depending on season, so it’s worth checking current offers when enquiring.
Getting There
All three resorts sit within the same Herdade dos Salgados estate, close to Salgados Beach and the Salgados Lagoon Nature Reserve. The location is around a 15-minute drive from Albufeira and roughly 40 minutes from Faro Airport, making it a straightforward base for golfers flying in and wanting minimal transfer time between airport, hotel, and golf course.
