Overview

Live your best life at W Algarve Hotel & Residences. Beachy vibes and cool design make this swanky hotel perfect for the young at heart and those who worship luxury. With futuristic decor round every turn, spacious rooms and a stunning ocean-facing location, you’ll find all you need for a relaxing or active stay. Sunbathe with a cocktail by the pool on trendy loungers, let experts work their magic at AWAY Spa and frequent the local beaches – or perhaps a session of sunrise yoga could tempt you.

Set back from the beach and approximately five miles from Albufeira, W Algarve is perfect if you’re looking to escape from the city but still enjoy its perks. Old town Albufeira five miles away is home to pavement cafes by day and a lively club scene by night – though there’s plenty of restaurants close to the hotel too. Take your pick from a whole coastline of gorgeous beaches backed by archetypical Algarve cliffs, great for swimming, sunbathing or surfing. There is also direct access to Castelo and Evaristo beaches, which are under a mile away. Great golf courses are dotted around the Algarve, the nearest being Salgados which is less than two miles west. Faro Airport is 30 miles away.

Rooms are spacious with generous balconies. They are packed to the brim with contemporary and playful design – there’s a chimney shaped minibar, a sardine pillow and backlit roofscape-style headboards stretch across the whole wall, all intended to mirror the local area. Bathrooms don azulejos patterned tiles and asymmetrical mirrors. In rooms with a king-size bed, bathrooms are separated from the bedroom by a decorative glass window, while those with twin beds feature a privacy panel – perfect for a stay with friends. Simply soak up the ocean views on your private balcony or get the luxury treatment with 24-hour room service and a nightly turndown.

For a home away from home feel, the residences are open-plan apartments equipped with a kitchen and living room. You’ll have access to all the hotel’s facilities plus a dedicated residence-only pool, set away from the hotel and a dedicated residential concierge team.
