300 days of sun, 200 km of coast, more than 40 golf courses and the Benagil caves: the Algarve is a superb corporate playground, especially outside the summer season.
Why the Algarve outside summer
From October to May, the Algarve is at its best for MICE: a mild climate (16 to 24 °C), less crowded hotels, more competitive rates and more accessible golf courses. The winter light is exceptional.
Golf and VIP incentive
With Europe’s highest concentration of golf courses (Quinta do Lago, Vilamoura), the Algarve lends itself to corporate tournaments: signature courses, engraved trophy, awards ceremony.
Sea, cliffs and adventure
- Kayak or paddle safari to the Benagil cave with its skylight
- Regatta and nautical olympics in Vilamoura, dinner on a private beach
- 4x4 expedition in the Serra de Monchique, thermal springs and green hills
From the Benagil cave to Cape St Vincent, the Algarve lines up some of Europe’s most photographed coastal landscapes.
Seafood gastronomy
Cataplana cooking class in a fishing village, fresh grilled fish, gala dinners facing the Atlantic: the Algarve table roots every programme in its terroir.
Capacity and resorts
The large integrated resorts (around Vilamoura and Quinta do Lago) host residential events of 100 to 400 people: plenaries, breakouts and on-site accommodation. See our Algarve page.
