Palmares Ocean Living & Golf‘s iconic clubhouse, a genuinely exclusive 19th hole in European golf, has been shortlisted for the prestigious “Europe’s Best Clubhouse” accolade at the World Golf Awards. With its breathtaking panoramic views of the Bay of Lagos, the Alvor Estuary, and the 27-hole venue’s Praia loop, this architectural marvel stands out among the top venues in Europe.
Designed by the renowned Pritzker Architecture Prize winners RCR Arquitectes, Palmares’ modern masterpiece clubhouse opened in the autumn of 2020. It is a masterclass in integrating contemporary design with its natural surroundings. Constructed with red concrete, it harmoniously blends with the environment while offering top-tier golf and real estate concierge services. The clubhouse houses two exceptional restaurants, including the Michelin-starred Al Sud, which was celebrated for its inspired Mediterranean cuisine after earning its star just five months post-opening. Led by the acclaimed chef Louis Anjos, Al Sud features a creative menu with local ingredients, including seafood sourced daily from Sagres.
Nuno Sepúlveda, Co-Chief Executive Officer of Details, expressed his excitement: “We’re thrilled to have one of our venues recognised and shortlisted for this top award. With magnificent architecture, an outstanding F&B offering, first-class customer service, and a beautiful setting, there are few places better in Europe to relax and unwind after a round of golf.”
