Next year, Portugal returns to the FIA Formula 1 World Championship calendar, with the Formula 1 Portuguese Grand Prix taking place in Portimão’s Autódromo Internacional do Algarve, June 18–20. The course also secured the stage of the rage in 2028, too.

“In 2027, we will be able to increase this impact significantly, with hundreds of thousands of people over the several days of the event, an extraordinary global audience and an estimated economic potential of around €150 million, with effects on hotels, restaurants, transport, retail, services and a broad chain of companies and suppliers across the region,” said André Gomes, president, Turismo do Algarve.

Tickets for the event launched Sept. 21 and are available for purchase here. 

We’ve also curated a list of hotels in and around the race for overnight travelers:

NH Marina Portimão Resort

This 4-star resort is about 20 minutes from the circuit and comes with amenities like a restaurant, bar, outdoor swimming pool, Atlantic Ocean views, gym and shuttle service. Accommodations range from studios to one-bedroom suites.

Bela Vista Hotel & Spa

Situated within a Moorish-style mansion, this 5-star property (part of Relais & Châteaux) boasts chic guestrooms and suites, an on-site restaurant and bar, outdoor pool, and spa. Suites and upgraded rooms include balconies or terraces, many with ocean views. The hotel is about 30 minutes from the course.

Tivoli Carvoeiro Algarve Resort

Part of Tivoli Hotels, this 5-star cliffside resort not only offers elegant guestrooms and suites, but also six on-site restaurants and bars, including a rooftop sky bar. You’ll also find outdoor and indoor pools, a spa, fitness center and on-site dive center. The F1 circuit is just a 30-minute drive away.

W Algarve

Forty minutes from the circuit is W Algarve, a luxury beachfront hotel in Albufeira offering true Marriott service and hospitality across its guestrooms and residences. Some accommodations include large balconies, while suites and penthouses come with rooftop terraces or plunge pools. Other amenities include the brand’s signature WET Deck pool area, AWAY Spa, FIT gym and three dining venues.

Penina Hotel & Golf Resort

Fancy fitting in a game of golf while in Portugal? Penina Hotel & Golf Resort is a 5-star hotel home to three golf courses, four restaurants and polished suites for the ultimate luxurious weekend. The best part? You’ll get to the course in just 15 minutes.

Conrad Algarve

It may be a slightly longer drive from the circuit (a little less than one hour), but the exclusivity alone of the resort more than makes up for it. Expect 18th-century palatial décor like sleek marble and local paving incorporated into contemporary guestrooms and suites, including the Infinity Penthouse and Conrad Suite. On-site dining includes Michelin-starred Gusto by Heinz Beck, while multiple outdoor pools and a massive spa will make it hard to leave at all for the race. And if you find spare time, head out to one of several surrounding world-class championship golf courses.

Review: Sushi by Scratch at Grand Hyatt Deer Valley

Husband-and-wife team Phillip Frankland Lee and Margarita Kallas-Lee made their mark by reinventing the term “hidden gem” through their surprising and intentional collection of destination restaurants. While they launched the original Scratch Kitchen in 2013, an expired lease prompted them to relocate to an unassuming strip mall in suburban Encino in 2015 and rename it Scratch Bar & Kitchen. Even at a time when the San Fernando Valley was not known for innovative 5-star dining, the Lees’ concepts gathered such a strong buzz that discerning diners cheerfully followed them “over the hill.”
