About Hotel

Hotel Vila Galé Tavira is located in the historic town centre of Tavira, on Portugal’s eastern Algarve coast. Overlooking the Gilão River and within walking distance of shops, cafés, and the ferry to Tavira Island, the hotel offers a comfortable base for golfers exploring the region’s quiet and scenic courses.

Golf Courses

The hotel is ideally located for accessing several respected courses in the eastern Algarve. Quinta da Ria is a picturesque 18-hole layout along the Ria Formosa coastline, offering open fairways and sea views. Quinta da Cima, its sister course, provides a more technical challenge with tree-lined holes, doglegs, and water hazards. Quinta do Vale, designed by Seve Ballesteros, sits closer to the Spanish border and features a bold layout with several lakes and wide fairways suited to strategic play. All three courses are within a 20–40 minute drive from the hotel, and golf transfers can be arranged locally.
