Conrad Algarve

Modelled on an 18th-century Portuguese palace with Moorish undertones, this crisp white contemporary hotel is light-filled and luxurious, with a wonderful appreciation for art. Add a choice of pools for all ages, a lavish spa and award-winning golf courses nearby and you’ve one of the Algarve’s most sought-after properties.

Guests stay in modern, muted rooms and suites with balconies overlooking the swimming pool and countryside beyond. High levels of service extend to a seasonal shuttle to the beach, a dedicated golf concierge, world-class spa therapists and cocktail-ready bar staff, all trained to ensure stays are as comfortable and convenient as can be. Plus, it’s not just the adults who are well catered for, little guests are equally spoiled with their own pool and Little Place C kids’ club for children aged 3-12 years old.

For all-day dining then Louro restaurant is the place to be, serving menus to suit every taste, while the impressive Michelin-starred Gusto by Heinz Beck combines Mediterranean flavours with the Scandinavian design of its open kitchen. Relaxed poolside food and drink are also available at the casual Dado and Sereno.
