Quinta da Ria, Portugal

Nestled within the Ria Formosa Natural Park, the impressive 18-hole course at Quinta da Ria offers sweeping views of the Atlantic Ocean and the iconic Cacela Velha Beach. This 18-hole, par 72 course is renowned for its stunning location and challenging layout. Throughout the 18 holes, numerous challenges await, requiring a strategic approach and sharp gameplay. On the front nine, large bunkers dominate both the fairways and greens, demanding accuracy with each shot. As you move to the back nine, water hazards come into play on holes 10, 14, and 17, presenting further obstacles to test even the most experienced golfers. This combination offers a memorable and scenic experience for players of all levels, blending sport with nature in an unforgettable way

If you are uncertain about these requirements, please do not hesitate to contact us. We will be happy to advise you. https://www.randa.org/WorldHandicapSystem

Prices are a guide and subject to change
Carriage of Clubs
We advise you to use a light golf bag when packing your clubs. We suggest you wrap a towel round the neck of the clubs to protect them and stop them rattling around whilst in transit. It is also important to then place the bag and clubs in an outer carrying bag, which can be purchased from any good golf shop.
What to Wear
Golf attire during the day. We suggest smart casual for the evenings. Golf shoes with soft spikes are required.
Gratuities
We suggest a Group Collection to cover transfer drivers, and hotel staff of €25.00 per person. Your Tour Leader will collect this on your behalf and distribute it accordingly, thus relieving you of the burden of who, when and how much to tip. The tipping of housekeeping will be left to your individual discretion (a small amount left in your room on departure should cover this and would be much appreciated). As is customary, ‘the hat’ will be passed around for the driver and guide on all optional excursions. For any meals that are not included in your itinerary, or taxi fares, your Tour Leader can advise of an appropriate % to add on.
Passports and Visas

We recommend that you check passport and visa requirements for the country you are visiting at the State Department if you have a U.S. Passport. Most countries require that your passport have at least six months validity when traveling internationally, and many require that you have one to two blank visa pages for either an entry stamp or visa. As a general rule, please check that your passport has six months validity beyond your planned trip, and if not, please renew your passport with plenty of time to provide Solos with your updated passport information by the final payment due date.

Not sure what travel documents you need? Our trusted partner, sherpa°, makes it easy to check visa and entry requirements based on your destination and passport. One quick check now means smooth sailing later. Click here to learn more.

Health Requirments
We recommend that you check if vaccinations are required for your destination at the CDC’s recommendations for your visited destination(s). We also recommend you purchase travel protection. A travel protection plan can often assist with medical emergencies and reimburse costs that are covered by the plan. Please verify coverage details with Solos before you travel.
