Ombria Golf Course in Portugal's Algarve Region Embraces Sustainable Practices
The picturesque Ombria Golf Course, nestled in the heart of Portugal's Algarve region, has earned GEO-certified status for its commitment to sustainable practices. This prestigious recognition reflects the course's dedication to environmental responsibility.
Surrounded by rolling hills, olive groves, and clear streams, the course is a harmonious blend of golfing excellence and natural beauty. The design, masterminded by Portuguese architect Jorge Santana da Silva, carefully preserves ancient trees and old riverbeds, ensuring minimal disruption to the landscape.
The course consists of two separate loops of holes surrounding a residential development. Notable features include the back-to-back par 3s at holes 4 and 5, and the short, downhill par-4 18, offering a chance for a closing birdie.
Sustainable practices at Ombria include the restoration of river habitats, planting of 700 oak trees to boost biodiversity, and the use of renewable energy sources such as solar and geothermal energy. Measures have also been taken to ensure the renewal of regional plantations and the conservation of local biodiversity.
For those seeking luxury accommodation, the Viceroy at Ombria Algarve hotel offers premium branded rooms. The hotel, which is newly opened and located near the golf course, provides various sporting activities alongside golf.
The Ombria clubhouse houses the Case E Fora restaurant, serving classic bar food with a Portuguese twist. Guests can dine on a castle-top terrace with views of the surrounding mountains and sunsets, while enjoying an extensive range of cocktails, craft beers, and local wines.
The Viceroy at Ombria Algarve hotel also offers six additional restaurants and bars, providing a wide array of dining options for visitors.
The Algarve is renowned for its golf courses, and Ombria stands as a notable destination for eco-conscious golf travelers, combining high-level sustainable environmental practices with quality nearby accommodation and dining.
