What Amendoeira Golf Resort does

Amendoeira Golf Resort is a privately-held, family-friendly 4-star resort property in Alcantarilha, Algarve, Portugal, operated by Morgado da Lameira - Tourism and Golf Development, S.A. (corporate number 500952302), a subsidiary of the Rolear Group. The 270-hectare estate is anchored by two championship 18-hole golf courses — the Faldo Course (designed by Sir Nick Faldo, 6,578m, PAR 72, named Best Golf Course in Portugal at the 2016 World Golf Awards) and the O'Connor Jnr Course (designed by Christy O'Connor Jnr) — plus a 9-hole illuminated par-3 Academy Course, reported as the only lit 9-hole course in Portugal. The property sits near the historic town of Silves and Armação de Pêra beach, approximately 35 minutes from Faro Airport.

The resort's accommodation portfolio consists of Moorish-inspired units ranging from one-bedroom ground-floor apartments to three-bedroom villas with private pools, supported by a Technogym-equipped gym, two floodlit padel courts, six Savannah tennis courts, FIFA-standard five-a-side pitches, a full-size natural-grass football pitch, a 1km jogging track, and a playground. F&B is delivered through the Clubhouse Restaurant (Chef Ricardo Pereira) and Garden Deck; supporting services include the Amendoeira Golf Academy (instructor Nelson Cavalheiro) using Trackman, SAM PuttLab, BodiTrak, and V1 Golf analytics, a Spa, a summer Kids Club (ages 4-12), and dedicated event venues for weddings, conferences, and team building. The property holds Green Key 2024, Sustainability Committed, and Save Water certifications under the Rolear Group's Algarve Green Living framework.

Revenue is generated from nightly accommodation rentals, golf green fees and annual/quarterly memberships, paid golf instruction and clinics, food and beverage, sports and spa services, and corporate/social events. Distribution runs primarily direct-to-consumer via the official website, with segregated portals for travel agencies, corporate accounts, individual members, and a golf-specific tee-time platform (amendoeira.golfmanager.com). Customers are split across families and leisure guests, golf enthusiasts, corporate and event clients, and sports teams on training retreats.
