A spacious and family-friendly resort with excellent facilities, accommodation and service.
This hotel right at the heart of Vilamoura is a superb choice if you’re looking for an active and luxurious holiday. The resort is set in five acres of landscaped gardens, with six pools and cascading waterfalls. Enjoy breakfast on the terrace of Moscada before soaking up the sun on a lounger from around one of the pools. The poolside snack bar serves mouth-watering dishes and refreshing drinks. While you enjoy the excellent circuit at the 7 Seven Spa, the kids can get stuck in at the Paradise Island Kids’ Club. Take the free shuttle to Praia da Falésia, which has a private concession area for guests and a range of watersports, or to the two golf courses nearby.
Enjoy a family-friendly themed buffet at Moscada restaurant or head to Aquarela for a Mediterranean barbecue, fresh seafood and seasonal salads. Cilantro is a smaller fine-dining restaurant, specialising in Mediterranean and Algarvean flavours while the new beachfront restaurant, AL.MAR – Tapas by the Sea serves tasty regional tapas. It’s a great spot for a chilled signature cocktail, glass of crisp white wine or refreshing juice while admiring the sunset by the sea. As the evening draws in, head to the stylish Rubi Bar for live music and delicious cocktails.
The rooms overlook the resort and Twin Deluxe Rooms have garden views or, for a supplement, golf course or pool views. Open the curtain of your bathroom to reveal a glass wall and enjoy watching TV from the comfort of your bath (there’s even a built-in speaker in the bathroom). One and Two Bedroom Apartments, with a living room, dining area and kitchen, are perfect for families and available on request.
