Why come to Praia d'el Rey? It is beautiful! Peaceful! Real Portugal! Healthy! One of the best golf courses in Europe (Praia d'el Rey), plus the breathtaking already famous West Cliffs course and two other very high quality courses within ten minutes driving. Some of the best surf in the world (Google 'Supertubos'). Cheap delicious wine and seafood. Glorious beaches. Friendly locals.

Praia D’El Rey has won many awards as Europe’s leading golf & leisure resort, and Portugal’s top golf resort . The region (Silver Coast) has amazing sites of Portuguese heritage (eg Obidos, Alcobaca, Sintra), beautiful golden beaches, delicious seafood restaurants and local wine, and beautiful nature.
