Porto Santo, June 24, 2024 – The biggest golf tournament in the Madeira archipelago, the ‘Madeira Atlantic Golf Cup’, will be the calling card for many amateur golfers, national and international, who will put their talent to the test, in excellent golf courses, surrounded by idyllic and stunning scenery. The competition, happening for the first time, will take place between the 4th and 11th of October and will bring together participants from all over the world. This is an event that highlights the Madeira Archipelago and praises the islands (Madeira and Porto Santo) as excellent golf destinations in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean, off the coast of Portugal and Africa. Not only is it one of the favorite destinations among tourists, it has also become, nowadays, a privileged place of choice among golfers.
The hotel group Vila Baleira Hotels & Resorts is one of the partners in the development of this project, being responsible for the official accommodation of the tournament participants. A partnership that arises as part of the group’s growth on the Island of Madeira and Porto Santo (with the recent opening of Vila Baleira Village) – a joint promotion of the two islands that is part of the communication development strategy in a national and international level.
Bruno Martins, General Director of the group, considers that “with the development of Golf in Madeira, with new courses under design and construction, and with the growing affirmation of the destination and the right partners, we thought it was the right time to carry out this project that we wanted so much to make happen: An ‘inter-island tournament’ that stands out on a national and international level”.
The 1st Edition of the ‘Madeira Atlantic Golf Cup’ is organized by Golf Concept, a company with a new vision of golf that aims to design innovative golf circuits respecting the tradition, so characteristic of this sport. For Ana Massapina and Estela Sargento, “being part of this project is a very enriching challenge. With our expertise in organizing golf tournaments, we want to increase the quality of the event and guarantee a successful and memorable event. Focused on enhancing golf and praising the region that hosts it, the Madeira archipelago”.
