With Albufeira and the imposing cliffs of southern Portugal on your doorstep, being well-placed is just the beginning of W Algarve’s benefits. Large room balconies, cabanas on the sun-soaked WET Deck and sunrise yoga classes are among the hotel’s unique elements. Meanwhile, 24-hour room service, a selection of restaurants and two pools add to the allure. Afternoons are dedicated to resting mind and body in the supremely relaxing spa. LED facial or glossy manicure, anyone? There's also a calming sauna and steam room, alongside the menu of beauty treatments available for the ultimate pampering.
