Salema Beach Village sits on the western edge of the Algarve, just above the small fishing village of Salema. It’s a very different feel to the likes of Vilamoura—quieter, less built-up, and more about space and scenery than nightlife. The accommodation is made up of modern townhouses and villas rather than a traditional hotel, so you get more room, proper living space, and a slightly more independent setup.

There’s no golf course on-site, but that’s part of the appeal. You’re within easy reach of some of the Algarve’s most naturally set courses, including Santo António (Parque da Floresta), Espiche Golf, and Palmares—all around 15–30 minutes away. These layouts tend to feel more rugged and less resort-driven, with elevation changes, tighter fairways in places, and coastal winds adding to the challenge.

Back at Salema Beach Village, things are clean, modern, and low-key. There’s a communal pool, reception services, and easy access down into the village where you’ll find a handful of very good seafood restaurants right on the beach. It suits golfers who want flexibility—play different courses each day, then come back to somewhere quiet and comfortable.
