Praia Del Rey Marriott Resort

If you want a big name city hotel with big name quality then the Praia del Ray hotel could be the one for you. The best bit is that it is not even in the city; situated on the beautiful coast an hour north from Lisbon you can experience the relaxing sea and local scenery in luxury.

As you would expect from a five star hotel, the rooms are very comfortable and well equipped and all have a balcony or terrace to make the most of the Mediterranean climate. The food is also excellent and on a summer evening the Atlantico Grill is much recommended both for the food and the views.

The hotel is particularly notable for the Praia del Ray golf course, which is an excellent 18 hole links course which has been ranked 13th out of the top 100 courses in Continental Europe by Golf World Magazine.

If you are looking for something a little slower then the resort also has a spa and health club which offer a whole range of facilities for those who want to relax.

If you are looking to combine golf and a relaxing stay or just to visit the beautiful area then Praia del Ray is a very good place to start.
