We are counting the days to welcome 2022! We want to see old friends, hug again, explore new places. We want to start a  hobby, have quality time, collect unique trips. In this article, we suggest you 7 wishes to add to your bucket list and make 2022 a much better year.

1. Start 2022 in the right way
To start 2022 off right, you have to toast at midnight admirably! Therefore, we invite you to celebrate New Year's Eve in the Algarve, in one of the 100 best European golf resorts, the Amendoeira Golf Resort. Here, you can enjoy a 2 Nights stay, surrounded by a party atmosphere, in a warm, comfortable, and secure environment.

It all starts with a welcome drink, followed by a special New Year's Eve menu that highlights typical Algarve products, such as tuna, citrus fruit, medronho (a local spirit made from the fruit of the strawberry tree), and sweet potatoes. Between the fish and meat dishes, we serve a melon mojito as an appetizer, before the traditional 'bolo-rei' and the famous 'toucinho do céu' for dessert. 

Do you already have your glass of sparkling wine to toast with us? Discover this offer here!



2. Explore new destinations
If one of your resolutions for 2022 is to travel and set off to discover new places, the Algarve is a must-see destination. 

Elected best beach destination in Europe in 2021 by the World Travel Awards, the Algarve has a rich historical and cultural heritage, being a region full of entertainment options, whether you travel alone, with family or friends.

From a wine tasting to a horseback ride, or a golf match, here, where the sun shines on average 300 days a year, leisure is always present.

Take the opportunity to explore historic and modern towns along the coast, or inland along the mountains. From Barlavento to Sotavento, taste typical products, get inspired by emblematic landscapes, and discover secret places, going off to discover the best this region has to offer!



3. Start a new hobby
Having time to do an activity that you enjoy is a great way to reduce the stress of the daily routine and increase your happiness.

Starting a new sport like golf can be challenging, fun, and rewarding. The Golf Academy at Amendoeira Golf Resort in the Algarve offers a variety of programs to suit various levels of ability, from beginners to amateurs, competitive to professionals. Here, you will find the possibility to have golf lessons with Nelson Cavalheiro, President of the PGA Portugal and National Level IV Coach.

You can also practice your golf swing or enjoy golf breaks in Portugal on courses like the award-winning Faldo Course, or the challenging O'Connor Jnr. course. If you prefer sports such as tennis, paddle, or football, the Amendoeira Golf Resort has the perfect offer. With six Savannah courts at your disposal for your perfect tennis holidays in Portugal, at the Sports Club, you can also choose football as your new hobby and play on a court built to FIFA standards.

Going to the gym or running on a jogging path is also possible in the golf resort in the Algarve Amendoeira. Find out how, here!



4. Spend more time in nature
Imagine punctuating your daily routine with relaxing moments surrounded by fresh air. Finding a wellness retreat that allows you to have direct contact with nature is an excellent way to calm the mind and stimulate creativity. 

Waking up with the sound of birds, falling asleep with green views, and relaxing among 270 hectares of biodiversity is the proposal that Amendoeira has for you, throughout the year.

From a premium golf getaway to enjoy with friends, to a long stay for two or a personalized accommodation experience that meets your interests, we invite you to enter 2022 in an inspiring way and with renewed energy, in one of the best golf resorts in the Algarve.



5. Live a new experience
Skydiving, taking a balloon ride, playing golf in the moonlight. A new year always brings with it the desire to achieve something unique.

Whether you are a beginner or a golf lover, one thing is certain: no other experience compares to playing golf under a starry sky. We present the Academy course, PAR 3, the only floodlit 9-hole course in Portugal. Perfect for beginners and for those who wish to improve their short game, this course has its ex-libris on the seventh hole where, on two of the tee options, you can play over water.

Is it in 2022 that you will practice your golf swing by the moonlight? Make your wish come true here!



6. Having more quality time with your family
Free time means happy moments in the company of those we love most. From gathering everyone around the table for meals to organising family programmes or weekends, the Algarve offers countless entertainment options to please children and adults alike. Water parks, theme parks, adventures, you name it!

With a wide sports offer, a Kidz Club, a children's playground, and communal pools, the Amendoeira resort has the key ingredients for unforgettable holidays.
