Praia D’El Rey Golf & Beach Resort is in the heart of the Silver Coast, in an area of protected and outstanding natural beauty with unspoilt beaches and villages steeped in history. And unlike the Algarve, the Silver Coast delivers more than just a flavour of the real Portugal. It is a quiet and peaceful region blessed by mild winters and hot summers (cooled by the breezes off the Atlantic) as well as countryside dotted with medieval castles, ruins, manor houses and churches.
Drive along the coastline stretching from Lisbon to Figueira da Foz and you’ll see how the Silver Coast (or Costa de Prata) gets its name. Fine sandy beaches shimmer like silver as they are washed by the Atlantic; cliffs, coves and fishing towns dot the coast; orchards, vineyards and tranquil, historic towns and villages are peppered over the countryside.
Another thing you’ll notice about this region is how tranquil it is. Roads are empty. Beaches pristine. Towns and villages run at their own pace. In other words, the Silver Coast is a world away from the hustle and bustle of the Algarve.
