Springs — at The Els Club is a private residential collection of 78 contemporary villas in Vilamoura, set beside The Els Club Vilamoura — the first Els Club in Europe — and designed around golf, privacy and outdoor living.
The development brings together 2-, 3- and 4-bedroom homes in two complementary residential concepts. Landscaped gardens, private terraces and carefully planned interiors create a natural transition between the house and the Algarve setting, while the architecture favours light, clean lines and a calm, contemporary character.
The setting has already established an international sporting profile. Opened in 2025, The Els Club Vilamoura subsequently hosted the inaugural Portugal Invitational on the PGA TOUR Champions in 2026, bringing professional tournament golf back to this celebrated Vilamoura landscape.
The homes at Springs are arranged as Row and Cluster residences, offering different layouts and scales while sharing the same emphasis on privacy, natural light and connection to the landscape.
Open living areas extend towards terraces and gardens, while selected homes include private pools. Materials and finishes have been chosen to create a refined but understated atmosphere — equally suited to shorter stays or spending longer periods in the Algarve.

The location is central to the identity of Springs.
The development sits beside The Els Club Vilamoura, the first Els Club in Europe, created around the vision of four-time Major champion and former world number one Ernie Els.
The club opened in July 2025 following the extensive transformation of the former Victoria Course, a venue already closely associated with professional tournament golf in Portugal.
Just over a year later, professional golf returned when The Els Club hosted the inaugural Portugal Invitational on the PGA TOUR Champions, won by Major champion Zach Johnson.
That sequence gives Springs an unusual position within Vilamoura. This is not simply a collection of villas near a golf course. It is a residential address beside a private club that has already begun writing its own international sporting history.

Residents have access to the Vista Club, conceived as the social and leisure heart of Springs.
Its programme includes restaurant and pool-bar spaces, wellness and fitness facilities, an indoor heated pool, spa, tennis, family leisure areas and a Kids Club.
The significance of these amenities is not simply their number. They broaden life at Springs beyond golf, allowing different members of a family to enjoy the development in different ways.
For owners spending longer periods in Portugal, that becomes particularly valuable.
The other advantage of Springs is everything that already exists beyond its boundaries.
Vilamoura Marina, beaches, restaurants, sport and leisure are within easy reach, while Faro International Airport provides convenient connections to major European cities and international hubs.
That combination is particularly relevant for buyers who want golf to form part of daily life without requiring every day to revolve around it.

Springs brings together two characteristics that rarely appear at the same time.
Vilamoura is established. The Els Club is still writing its history.
The destination has spent decades building its international reputation. The Els Club opened only in 2025, yet has already hosted PGA TOUR Champions golf and begun establishing its own place within Vilamoura's golfing landscape.
For owners at Springs, that creates a distinctive proposition: contemporary villas, private outdoor space and resort services beside the first Els Club in Europe, within one of Portugal's most established international destinations.
For a second home, longer stays in the Algarve or a lifestyle-led property purchase, Springs offers something that is increasingly difficult to reproduce — something genuinely new within somewhere already proven.
