4-star beachfront resort on Algarve cliffs with panoramic ocean views

Location & Views

The hotel sits on a cliff-top overlooking the Atlantic Ocean, with direct access to Senhora da Rocha beach and two adjacent sandy coves. Breathtaking panoramic ocean views are visible from multiple locations, including most rooms and common areas. A boat trip from the nearby natural reef offers access to coastal caves and dolphin watching excursions.

Wellness & Spa

The spa offers massage services, a Turkish hammam, a hot tub, a sauna, and a spa lounge with relaxation area. An indoor heated pool is available year-round, complemented by a fitness centre and bicycle rental for active guests. The wellness facilities also include a steam room and a large indoor jacuzzi kept at a warm temperature.

Pools & Recreation

The outdoor saltwater swimming pool is surrounded by exotic gardens with palm trees and a generous number of sun loungers and umbrellas. A unique falconer service patrols the pool area to deter seagulls, keeping the water and loungers clean. The hotel also provides beach and spa towels that can be exchanged at the reception.

Dining & Entertainment

The Valhalla restaurant serves buffet-style breakfast and evening meals with daily themed nights, while the Pool Bistro offers light meals and snacks from June to September. During summer months, the hotel hosts live music events and entertainment on the outdoor terrace. A convenience store and book store are available on-site for guest needs.
