More than a Golf Resort

The Best Leisure Activities available at Penina Hotel & Golf Resort

Along with its five-star service, excellent location and six delicious restaurants, Penina is undoubtedly best known for its world-class golf courses. The Sir Henry Cotton Championship Course was the first course in the whole of the Algarve and is still regarded as one of the best and most playable in the region. However, Penina has so many more leisure activities than simply Golf, from tennis courts to jogging track:

Five ATP Tennis Courts

If you're looking for something a bit more intense than a round of golf, then Penina's excellent tennis facilities are perfect for you. We've got five all-weather hard courts, one of which is fully floodlit, so you can continue your game even when the sun starts to set. Plus, with a professional on site, with whom you can book lessons, you can improve your technique and skills out on the court. There's also equipment rental available, just in case you've forgotten your racket.

Jogging Track and 24-hour Fitness Facility

While Penina offers plenty of opportunity to relax and unwind, we recognise that many of you will have workout regimes or training goals you need to continue while on holiday. With this in mind, Penina has both a fitness facility, which is open 24 hours a day, and a jogging track. If this wasn't enough, we also offer bicycle rental, meaning you can head out into the Algarve and take in the sights and sounds of this picturesque region.


24-Hour Fitness Facility
The Algarve's Largest Outdoor Private Pool

While you'd certainly expect to find a swimming pool at a five-star hotel resort in the Algarve, you may be pleasantly surprised by the sheer size of the pool at Penina. Whether you're swimming a few lengths or just relaxing, you'll have plenty of room to do your own thing. There's also a children’s pool for the little ones.

Golf Pro Shop, Driving Range and Putting Green

You're probably aware of our selection of Golf Courses (we have three, if you're wondering), but did you know we have a whole range of golfing facilities to help you make the most of the rounds you play? To start with, there's a fully equipped pro shop, a state-of-the-art driving range with 12 covered bays, putting green and practice green. If you want to take your golf to the next level, we also have a range of golf clinics available to fine tune your game.

An Action-Packed Holiday in the Algarve


Regardless of whether you plan on spending your time relaxing poolside or trying your hand at all the leisure activities in the resort, which also includes billiards and a game room in addition to those listed above, you'll be treated to an unforgettable break in five-star settings at Penina. Take a look at our latest offers and packages to turn your dream holiday into reality.

Algarve St Andrew's Ball at Penina Hotel & Golf Resort

Join the Saint Andrew’s Society of the Algarve for their annual ball on the 30th November 2013. This year the event is falling on St Andrew’s day itself and should be an all singing, all dancing, occasion to remember.

The event gets underway at 7.00pm when participants will be piped in to the Champagne reception by the talented Malcolm MacGillivray. This will be followed by a knockdown, knees up buffet, accompanied by wine... followed by coffee accompanied by Atholl Brose.

The Sounds of Islay – a genuine Ceilidh band from Scotland who are flying over especially – will guarantee to get your toes tapping and your feet dancing. They’ll be plenty of people on hand to help you try out this traditional Scottish dancing for the first time... should you feel the urge.

The ball is priced at €37.50 for Society members and €40 for non-members. If you thinking of coming to the ball and staying overnight at the hotel - or perhaps playing a round of golf on the Sir Henry Cotton Championship Course as well... we’ve laid on a very special rate for the event.

Give us a call on +351 282 420200 to learn more.
