Group Golf Holidays in Eastern Algarve
Eastern Algarve By The Golf Planet Holidays Team · Golf-travel specialists since 1981 · Published 1 June 2026 At a glance How much does a group golf holiday in the Eastern Algarve cost? Golf Planet Holidays runs tailor-made group breaks in the Eastern Algarve from £255 per person. The final price depends on your group […]
Getting 8 to 16 golfers to the same first tee, in the same hotel, with the right rooming and a coach waiting outside, is the part of a group trip nobody enjoys organising. That is the part we take off your hands. In the Eastern Algarve — the quieter, greener corner around Tavira and the Spanish border — Golf Planet Holidays builds tailor-made group breaks from £255 per person, and one named specialist handles every moving piece so the only decision your group has to make is fourballs or better-ball.
We have arranged golf travel this way since 1981. You tell us your dates, your numbers and the courses you fancy; we come back with one clear quote in GBP, priced around your group rather than squeezed into a fixed package. And if you would rather someone ran the golf on the ground, we offer hosted, escorted group tours too.
Why the Eastern Algarve suits a golf group
The Eastern Algarve is the calmer end of the coast — fewer crowds, shorter transfer times between courses, and a cluster of layouts close enough together that a group of 8 to 16 can play somewhere different every day without long drives. Base yourselves around Tavira and you are within easy reach of five genuinely good courses: Benamor Golf on the doorstep in Tavira, the two contrasting championship tracks at Quinta da Ria and Cima, the much-admired Monte Rei, and Castro Marim and Quinta do Vale over towards the Guadiana and the Spanish border.
For a group, that proximity is the whole point. It means tee times that flow, an afternoon spare for a relaxed nine or a long lunch, and a single hotel and single coach serving everyone — no splitting the party across resorts.
Where your group stays
Most groups want one good base they can take over for the trip, and the Eastern Algarve has the right kind of properties for it. AP Cabanas Beach & Nature Hotel near Tavira gives you a relaxed, coastal base with the rias and beach on the doorstep — easy for breakfasts before golf and somewhere to regroup afterwards. Quinta da Ria & Cima Golf lets you stay on the doorstep of two of your courses, and Monte Rei Golf & Country Club near Tavira is the option for groups who want the marquee resort experience around its celebrated course.
Your specialist matches the hotel to the group — budget, standard of room, and how close you want to be to the first tee — and handles the rooming list so twin shares, singles and anyone arriving late are all sorted before you land.
Where our specialists would stay in Eastern Algarve
One specialist, and an escorted option if you want it
The thing that makes a group trip painless is having one person own it. With Golf Planet Holidays, a single named specialist arranges your tee times across Benamor, Quinta da Ria and Cima, Monte Rei, Castro Marim and Quinta do Vale, builds the running order, sorts the rooming list, and books the airport and course transfers — so no one in your party is left chasing a confirmation email at 11pm.
If you would rather not run the golf yourselves at all, we also arrange hosted, escorted group tours, where someone travels with the group and takes care of the day-to-day on the ground. It is a popular choice for larger parties, mixed-ability groups, and anyone coming a long way who simply wants to turn up and play.
Pricing, protection and how to book
Group breaks in the Eastern Algarve start from £255 per person, and because we are tailor-made, your quote is built around your group — your dates, your hotel, your courses and how many rounds you want. Everything is billed in GBP, and we are enquiry-based, so there is no checkout: you send us the details and one specialist prices it back to you clearly.
You are protected throughout. Golf Planet Holidays is ATOL Protected, and your money is held in trust with Protected Trust Services (PTS) until you have travelled. North American groups are very welcome too — the Eastern Algarve often stacks up well on value once you add up the green fees, and we can either add ATOL-protected flights or arrange just the ground package around your own routing. Send us your numbers and dates to get started.

Frequently asked questions
How big a group can you arrange for?
Our Eastern Algarve group breaks are built for parties of 8 to 16 friends or colleagues, which is the sweet spot for filling two-to-four-ball tee slots cleanly and keeping one hotel and one set of transfers for everyone. If your numbers are slightly above or below that, tell us when you enquire and we will price it the same way. One named specialist owns the whole booking from first enquiry to the day you fly home.
What is included in the from-£255-per-person price?
From £255 per person covers the core of a group golf break — accommodation and golf put together as one trip in GBP. The exact mix of nights, rounds and courses is built around your group, so the final figure moves with your dates, hotel choice and how many of Benamor, Quinta da Ria and Cima, Monte Rei, Castro Marim and Quinta do Vale you want to play. Send us your numbers and dates and your specialist returns a clear, itemised quote.
Is my money protected when I book?
Yes. Golf Planet Holidays is ATOL Protected, and your money is held in trust with Protected Trust Services (PTS) until you have travelled — it is not spent by us before your trip. We have arranged tailor-made golf travel since 1981, so the people pricing your Eastern Algarve break do it day in, day out.
We are travelling from the US — can you still help?
We can. Plenty of groups join us from North America for the Eastern Algarve, where green fees and resort costs often compare very favourably with golf back home once the round count is added up. We quote in GBP and book the ground arrangements — hotel, tee times and transfers — and can add ATOL-protected flights or fit around the routing you have already chosen. A hosted, escorted option works particularly well for a group crossing the Atlantic together.
Come and play with us
Wherever you're travelling from, you're welcome on a Golf Planet hosted tour — a small group, a host with you from the first tee to the last, and every round, transfer and dinner taken care of. You just bring the clubs.
