Loulé, Algarve, Portugal
Ombria Golf Course
One of the Algarve's most exciting new golf destinations — Ombria is a sustainable inland resort set among the cork oak hills of Loulé, offering a course of great natural character and a design philosophy rooted in the landscape.
About the Course
Ombria Golf Course
Ombria Golf Course was designed by Cristian Andrade and opened in 2022 as part of the Ombria Algarve resort — one of the most ambitious and thoughtfully conceived new golf destinations in Portugal. The resort is built on a philosophy of sustainability and environmental sensitivity, and the golf course reflects this — routed through the natural cork oak landscape of the Loulé hills with minimal disturbance to the terrain.
The course plays to 6,400 yards from the championship tees and is characterised by dramatic elevation changes, natural cork oak corridors, and a series of holes that demand both precision and strategic thinking. The inland setting — away from the resort density of the coastal Algarve — gives the course a tranquillity and natural character that is increasingly rare in Portuguese golf.
Ombria is one of the most talked-about new golf destinations in Europe, and its combination of exceptional design, sustainable credentials, and the quality of the Viceroy Ombria Algarve hotel makes it a compelling addition to any Algarve golf itinerary.

Why It Stands Out
One of Europe's Most Exciting New Courses
Ombria opened in 2022 and has quickly established itself as one of the most talked-about new golf destinations in Europe. Its combination of exceptional design, sustainable credentials, and the quality of the Viceroy hotel makes it a compelling addition to any Algarve itinerary.
Sustainable Design Philosophy
Ombria is built on a philosophy of sustainability and environmental sensitivity. The golf course was routed through the natural cork oak landscape with minimal disturbance to the terrain, and the resort's environmental credentials are among the strongest in European golf.
The Inland Algarve Setting
Ombria is located in the hills of Loulé — away from the resort density of the coastal Algarve — in a landscape of cork oak groves, rolling hills, and natural streams. The tranquillity and natural beauty of the setting are unlike anything else in Portuguese golf.
Viceroy Ombria Algarve Hotel
The Viceroy Ombria Algarve is one of the finest new hotels in Portugal — a luxury resort that reflects the same design philosophy as the golf course, with exceptional service, a spa, and a setting of extraordinary natural beauty.
