Bridge on the Algarve
Join us at the ever-popular Holiday Inn, Algarve, in a simply stunning location – directly overlooking the wide sandy beach of Armacao de Pera. We dine in the Palm Beach Restaurant with its panoramic views and listen to the waves of the Atlantic Ocean crashing beneath us. You can relax by the heated outdoor pool overlooking the beach or enjoy a pleasant walk along the promenade and watch the fishermen unload their daily catch. Shops, bars, and restaurants are within a strolling distance of the hotel, and regular buses run to nearby towns and villages, making it an excellent central point to explore the Algarve. Golfers will appreciate the choice of golf courses nearby and the hotel has a dedicated golf desk with preferential golf rates for hotel clients.

Sarah Amos
Sarah is the third generation of her family to be hooked on bridge, following after her mother and grandparents. She started playing over 35 years ago and began teaching and directing not long after. She is probably best known as a top-level Tournament Director in both Wales and England. Sarah has been trying to play more bridge since moving to South Wales five years ago and is delighted to have made it to the Welsh Lady Milne twice.
She spent a large portion of her working life helping to run a family restaurant with her brother, sister-in-law and mother and really enjoyed managing the front of house and assisting with wedding and events planning.
All of her work now involves various aspects of bridge, directing all sort of events from club games through congresses to internationals; teaching beginners and improvers; and latterly helping players and clubs get online and keep playing through the pandemic.
