Just 30 minutes from Faro airport, near Loule, the landmark 18-hole, par 71, Ombria golf course in the Algarve brings remarkable surroundings into the play experience, with unforgettable backdrops that play an active role in every stroke.
With the greens and fairways blending seamlessly into their environment, this signature course, designed by Jorge Santana da Silva, followed the architect’s sustainable vision to complement and enhance the natural landscape. Weaving around ancient rivers and trees and, with a design incorporating minimal planted areas to reduce water consumption, Ombria has created a naturally diverse setting that has achieved the standards of golf’s most prestigious ecolabel certifications for preservation.
The course consists of two contrasting nines with the front nine winding around hills and streams and featuring memorable back-to-back par 3s, while the back nine opens into a wider river valley. The course features lots of elevation changes and water hazards come into play often. Here, finesse, rather than power alone, will always win the day.
The clubhouse was built into the castle-like walls of an existing farm ruin and features a sports bar and restaurant, golf shop, swimming pool, sauna and gym facilities, making it more like a country club rather than just a clubhouse. Before or after play, the elevated views of the bar’s outdoor terrace are the perfect place to socialise and unwind with a relaxing drink and soak up glorious sunsets and mountain views

Backed by the latest technology, Ombria Resort raises the standards of golf in the Algarve to new heights.
