In the Algarve, there are 300 days in the year painted by rays of sunshine. Spring is over and summer is, of course, just around the corner, with plenty of activities in nature to enjoy with your partner, friends, or family. In this article, we present five suggestions for outdoor activities to welcome the good weather in the Algarve.

Bicycle Riding

Sunny days call for contact with nature! And as there is nothing better than the feeling of "hair in the wind", the first activity we recommend for your holidays in the Algarve is a bike ride. From the city centre to the beach, always on designated cycle paths, there are many routes you can take to exercise your body and mind. 

For better routes, explore the wetlands of the Salgados lagoon between Alcantarilha and Pêra, just 26 minutes (on foot) from Amendoeira Golf Resort. Separated from the sea by a sandy barrier, this lagoon is home to 12 rare bird species ready to meet you, not to mention flora of unparalleled beauty.

Finally, for those who prefer more secluded paths, there is also the option of cycling along 270 hectares of fresh air in one of the best golf resorts in the world!

Buggy rides

For those days that call for more adventure, there is a solution: a buggy trip through the dunes of Albufeira. Just 20 minutes away from Amendoeira Golf Resort, awaken your senses with adrenaline and embrace the wild trails that the Algarve has to offer.

 

Paragliding

If an afternoon full of speed on land isn't enough, how about diving through the blue sky and flying over Falésia Beach? Less than 30 minutes from Alcantarilha, let yourself launch from the Cabeça de Câmara hill to the coast of Loulé on a paragliding tour.

Play Golf

While summer is not here, the golfing season is waiting for you! Welcome the sunny days of May in one of our Algarve holiday homes with challenging shots of your favourite sport. Explore award-winning courses such as the Faldo Course designed by Sir Nick Faldo, and venture into the oasis surrounding the O'Connor Jnr. course or experience Portugal's only 9-hole floodlit course, the Academy Course at Amendoeira Golf Resort.

 

Explore different Beaches

Finally, there is no better programme for sunny days than a trip to the beach. Whether it's to meditate, walk with the sound of the waves or start working towards your summer tan, the Algarve is the dream destination for those who love the beach all year round. And you can do it even more comfortably! In August, you can also count on the transfer service of Amendoeira Golf Resort, which takes you directly to the beach from your flat in the Algarve as quietly as possible.

To make your stay in the Algarve even more complete, enjoy the last days of spring at your golf hotel in the Algarve. Off to the adventure!
