Domes Lake Algarve has a new upgrade

Located in Vilamoura, Domes Lake Algarve is already a reference in the Algarve. Before its reopening in 2022, it was known as Lake Spa Resort.

Since the hotel reopened, there have been a number of repair and modernization projects done to “improve the quality of its facilities and add more features and services to the resort”.

There are Balinese beds, sun loungers, and chairs for adults in the new area, which can fit up to 40 people. A food truck called Taco do Lago is parked next to the pool and serves drinks, including cocktails, and snacks.

The new pool is near the lake and the outdoor gym, in the quietest part of the lodge. The large lake, surrounded by a walkway, is also the stage for fun kayaking trips. For the younger guests, there is also a new and lively kids club.

Families love Domes Lake Algarve because it has a lot of outdoor space and easy access to the beach, as well as 192 newly renovated rooms and suites with light colours and textures that were inspired by the resort’s natural surroundings.

The wellness area has also been updated, and you can now use the different features of the Soma Spa, which combines treatments that use old Greek methods and modern healing techniques with high-end products that are made with natural ingredients that work.

We recommend our two golf packages made for you, available from 826 euros. Visit Domes Lake Algarve’s page on our website and find out more.

The Hilton Vilamoura joins the Associação Mãozinhas Solidárias to support families in extreme situations and celebrate Earth Hour on March 25, by organizing a charity tournament.

For the first time ever, the resort is hosting a charity tournament at Dom Pedro Pinhal to bring attention to climate change and promote environmental consciousness. In this way, on March 25, from 20:00 to 21:00, all the lights in the resort will be off, thus marking Earth Hour.

The resort in Vilamoura will use Earth Hour – Golf Challenge to raise money for charity, the Associação Mãozinhas Solidárias, which provides food, clothes, and medicine to low-income families.

The charity tournament will start at 20:00, but it will only last for one hour due to special circumstances. The lights will go off in observance of Earth Hour, leaving the golf balls as the only visible objects. Each ball will be reflective and have a light source built into it to ensure player safety.

The profits from tournament registration will be given to the Associação Mãozinhas Solidárias as a solidarity gesture.

The Earth Hour – Golf Challenge is open to everyone. To do so, you need to get in touch with Nevada Bob’s Golf Shop at the Hilton Vilamoura between the hours of 9:00 am and 5:30 pm, Monday through Friday.

“First, I want to emphasise the significance of supporting great charities like Associação Mãozinhas Solidárias, which helps families in dire conditions in the Algarve. Second, we have a goal of minimising our environmental impact. The tournament was created to increase environmental awareness and encourage more sustainable lifestyles”, says general director Mário Custódio.

“Here, we strive to uphold the brand’s core characteristics, which include solidarity and proximity”, concludes Mário Custódio.

The last event of the PT Tour, won by Jamie Savage, saw Tomás Bessa winning the circuit’s Order of Merit.

The PT Tour final tournament, Optilink Tour Championship, took place at Dom Pedro Laguna, in Vilamoura, and was won by the Scottish golfer Jamie Savage, in a play-off against Vítor Lopes and Tomás Bessa.

After the 3 rounds of the Optilink Tour Championship, these 3 players were tied for first place, with an aggregate of 206 strokes (-10).

Tomás Bessa was eliminated from the play-off in the first hole after he hit his ball into a palm tree. Savage and Lopes halved the hole and went back to the tee three more times before Savage finally triumphed with a birdie and won the prize of 3,500 euros.

“There was a time on the back nine when I was up by two strokes, but then I missed a short putt and started to lose my confidence. Gladly, I was able to manage my emotions in the play-off and win”, revealed Jamie Savage, who underlined: “The weather was excellent and the event was extremely well organised”.

“Losing the play-off left a sour taste in my mouth”, said Vítor Lopes. The native of the Algarve was awarded 2,000 euros in prize money.

Tomás Bessa, who got the 1,500 euros allotted to third place in this event, remarked: “I am really glad to have won this Order of Merit. Overall, I won two tournaments and lost twice in the play-off”.

“Everything went wrong in my final round; I missed easy putts, misjudged the wind, and failed to capitalise the four-stroke lead I had from the second round”, he continued.
