- Beach access
- Full-service spa
- Suites and private villas
Dining
Home to Ocean, one of the country's most celebrated restaurants, plus relaxed options in the grounds.

Clifftop gardens with several pools and beach access set the tone for the days ahead. Home to Ocean, one of the country's most celebrated restaurants, plus relaxed options in the grounds. It is a stay we recommend especially for couples, families, food lovers.
Beyond the hotel, Algarve unfolds at your own pace. The Algarve is Europe's sunniest coastline, with more than 300 days of sunshine a year.
