The 18 hole championship golf course, the final design by the late golfing legend Seve Ballesteros, was recently awarded Outstanding Certificate by Leadingcourses.com, which provides golfers around the world with a platform to share their experiences with other golfers. Only golf clubs with sufficient reviews on Leadingcourses.com and with rating of 7.5 (out of 10) or higher qualify for this certificate. By scoring 8.9, Royal Óbidos Spa & Golf Resort belongs to the Top 3 of the best golf clubs of Portugal.

 

In addition, the golf course is also ranked in the Golf World magazine “Top 100 courses in Continental Europe 2014”, and has now been placed as a nominee for Best Golf Course in Portugal at World Golf Awards 2015.

 

Evolutee Hotel, the resort’s 5-star boutique hotel, is also nominated for World Golf Awards 2015, as Portugal's Best Golf Hotel 2015 and for Condé Nast Johansen’s Awards for Excellence 2016. With the opening of the hotel less than one year ago, Evolutee Hotel also immediately entered in to the best Portuguese guide for accommodation and restaurants (Boa Cama Boa Mesa 2015).

 

The exquisite 39 room hotel is designed by the renowned yoo Studio, the design team at the international design and lifestyle company, yoo, founded by John Hitchcox and acclaimed designer Philippe Starck. The rooms, including three expansive suites, benefit from stunning vistas of the Atlantic Ocean, Royal Obidos golf course and the Lagoa de Óbidos, Portugal’s largest lagoon. 

 

The Elemental Spa, which has the exclusivity of Eminence Organics products for Portugal, offers guests an invigorating yet tranquil experience, with a vast menu of signature treatments and rituals using, also, regionally sourced organic products such as chocolate, sour cherries, wine, pears and apples.

 

The Kobe Steak & Sushi Restaurant has the most exceptional sushi of the Silver Coast, a dynamic menu and excellent wines. The bars, interior heated swimming pool, a magnificent outdoor swimming pool and a state-of the-art Conference Centre complement the hotel facilities.

 

With multiple options for accommodation, Spa treatments or degustation menus, the hotel carefully prepared several special packages, like the Óbidos Chocolate Festival or Mother’s Day (May, 3rd).

 

For golfers who thrive on a challenging game and a luxurious stay full of comfort, the Evolutee Hotel and the golf course offer the Royal Golf package of accommodation and rounds of golf, perfect for the golf enthusiast. With prices from € 399 with free buggy offer in May and June, guests can choose to 3 nights + 2 rounds, 4 + 3 + 5 or 7. 

 

The resort’s real estate component is also worth to mention, after being awarded the Best Touristic Project prize at Portugal’s SIL Real Estate 2014 awards. Plots for villas, apartments and hotel residences linked to the hotel are for sale and are going to be presented in France in early June, at the Salon de l’Immobilier et du Tourisme Portugais à Paris. 

 

Royal Óbidos Spa & Golf Resort, majority owned by MSF TUR.IM, is located on Portugal´s west coast, only 45 minutes from Lisbon Airport, and its 336 acres site is perfectly situated offering spectacular views of the Óbidos lagoon, the Atlantic Ocean and the golf course.
