Victoria Golf Resort & Spa

Victoria Golf Resort & Spa, Managed by Accor, is one of Vilamoura's landmark golf resorts, set directly above The Els Club Vilamoura, the championship course designed by Ernie Els. The property has carried several names over the years, opening as the Tivoli Victoria, operating as Anantara Vilamoura from 2018, and relaunching under Accor management as Victoria Golf Resort & Spa on 30 April 2026, so many regulars will know it by its earlier names. The resort is built around its fairway views and water. Four outdoor pools, including a swim-up option, spread through the grounds, and the Victoria Spa runs six treatment rooms alongside a sauna and steam room. Dining moves between RIA, the poolside restaurant focused on Algarve coastal cooking and seafood, and Sensai, the Asian and Thai restaurant led by Chef Rui Viegas with an omakase counter by Chef Fábio Terada. The Botanic Terrace, relaunched for 2026, handles gins and cocktails with sunset views over the Els Club. Families get a kids club, tennis courts and a gym, the resort is pet-friendly, and its ballroom and grounds host weddings, private events and corporate meetings. Check-in is from 15:00 and check-out by 12:00, with rooms booked through the resort's own online reservation system and a rotating set of seasonal offers published on the site.
