Spain and Portugal prepare to welcome influx of winter golfers

Golf homes

  • Algarve regional tourism authority flags up “clear recovery”
  • Taylor Wimpey España reports record September sales
  • Palmares Ocean Living promotes ‘try before you buy’ golf home experience

The relaxation of travel restrictions means that golfers looking to enjoy a round under the winter sun can now head overseas much more easily. Both Spain and Portugal are popular destinations with golfers thanks to their easy access from the UK, pristine courses and inviting weather with both Iberian nations looking forward to an influx of golfers over the next couple of months. João Fernandes, president of the Algarve’s regional tourism authority, RTA, comments:

“Reservation data seems to be pointing to a clear recovery. We have good indicators for October and November.”

Many of the golfers heading to Spain and Portugal for some winter sun may be considering something more permanent than a holiday, according to leading Spanish home builder Taylor Wimpey España:

“Second homes on golf courses have been popular with British buyers for many years. While the pandemic put many players’ plans on hold, in terms of owning a second home overseas, we are now seeing a rush of second home buyers return to Spain. Spacious, light-filled golf course properties are proving particularly popular.”

Taylor Wimpey España’s September figures certainly reflect vast pent-up appetite for second homes in Spain. The company has just reported the best September reservation figures since it was founded in 1958. By way of recent comparison, the number of properties sold in September 2021 was triple the number sold in September 2019.
