Onyria Quinta da Marinha Hotel: 25 Years of Excellence

Posted on by

This December, Onyria Quinta da Marinha Hotel marks its Silver Jubilee, celebrating 25 years of creating unforgettable memories for visitors worldwide, as we found in an excellent review published by My Golf Way. Nestled in the picturesque coastal town of Cascais, this iconic resort opened its doors on December 17, 1999, beginning a legacy of excellence that continues to captivate guests today.

Over the years, Onyria Quinta da Marinha has undergone three significant renovations—in 2007, 2014, and during the Covid-19 pandemic—continually elevating its offerings. The addition of the Boutique Hotel Onyria Marinha in 2023 and its cosy villas has further enhanced its appeal, providing visitors with a luxurious retreat immersed in the serene beauty of Cascais.

Onyria Quinta da Marinha Golf Course

Beyond its accommodations, the resort’s golf course, designed by legendary architect Robert Trent Jones, has earned international acclaim. Celebrating its 40th anniversary this year, the par-71 course has hosted prestigious tournaments, including the Ladies European Tour and Challenge Tour, while welcoming golf legends and celebrities such as Alice Cooper and Ayrton Senna.

Onyria Quinta da Marinha is also steeped in history. It famously hosted the pivotal meeting between Sir Alex Ferguson and Cristiano Ronaldo in 2003, crucial in launching Ronaldo’s international career.

The resort’s accolades reflect its excellence, with back-to-back Silver Medals for “Best Overseas Hotel” at the M&IT Awards in 2022 and 2023 and recognition for “Economic Sustainability” from Great Hotels of the World in 2024. Rated the top hotel in Cascais on TripAdvisor in 2023, it continues to shine as a benchmark of luxury and service.

Onyria Quinta da Marinha is proudly one of the destinations offered by Tee Times Golf Agency, making it an ideal choice for those seeking the finest Portugal Golf Holidays. Whether for its world-class golf, breathtaking landscapes, or rich history, this resort guarantees an unforgettable experience for every guest.

Sergio García Visits Terras da Comporta to Oversee Final Stages of The Torre Course

Posted on by

Sergio García made a special trip to Portugal to monitor the progress of his latest golf course design project, The Torre Course.Earlier this month, Ryder Cup legend and 2017 Masters champion Sergio García made a special trip to Portugal to monitor the progress of his latest golf course design project, The Torre Course, at Terras da Comporta, Located 130 km from Lisbon. The eagerly awaited course is set to open next summer, completing a stunning 36-hole venue alongside the acclaimed Dunas Course, designed by David McLay-Kidd. García’s visit allowed him to assess the development first-hand, offering insight into the intricate process of shaping this par-72 course, which measures 6,575 meters from the back tees.

García expressed his excitement about the progress, stating, “It was incredibly exciting to see the progress that has been made since my last visit. Of course, we spent a lot of time visualising each hole, but nothing compares to seeing it in the flesh. The course is really starting to take shape, and the whole team is itching to get out there and play it.”

Inspired by the legendary Real Club Valderrama, García’s favourite course, The Torre Course, will challenge golfers with its unique blend of wide fairways, small greens, and well-placed sandy waste bunkers. The course will perfectly complement the existing Dunas Course, which has already garnered global recognition.

The Torre Course’s soon unveiling

As the Terras da Comporta team prepares for The Torre Course’s unveiling, anticipation is building for players and golf fans looking to visit this premier destination. Rodrigo Ulrich, Director of Golf at Terras da Comporta, highlighted the excitement, sharing, “We look forward to welcoming media and tour operators to preview the course next spring and, of course, opening for general play next summer.”

At Tee Times Golf Agency, we are equally excited to include The Torre Course in our range of exclusive golf packages. A few months ago, we published an article about its progress and upcoming opening. With over 30 years of experience offering the best Portugal golf holidays, we are proud to partner with Terras da Comporta to provide tailored golf experiences at this exceptional destination.
