Royal Óbidos Spa & Golf Resort
Royal Óbidos Spa & Golf Resort
Royal Óbidos is where sophistication meets the sea. Designed by the legendary Seve Ballesteros and opened in 2012, the course sweeps across Portugal’s Silver Coast with graceful movement and cinematic views of the Atlantic. Each hole carries Seve’s unmistakable flair, combining creativity, risk, and precision in equal measure.
The front nine flows inland through gentle terrain, framed by lakes and sculpted bunkers. The back nine turns seaward, climbing to elevated tees that reveal ocean panoramas and breezes that test every decision. Royal Óbidos is a thinking player’s course, demanding imagination while offering breathtaking reward. It is a place where strategy and scenery share equal billing.
Cypress & Salt curates Royal Óbidos escapes that pair championship golf with pure coastal indulgence. Guests enjoy stays at the five-star Evolutee Hotel, private wine tastings from local estates, curated dining overlooking the ocean, and personalized wellness experiences at the resort spa. Royal Óbidos is Seve’s love letter to golf, where artistry and emotion define every round.
