Ukino Terrace Algarve

When it comes to crafting a perfect holiday experience, Ukino Terrace Algarve – formerly the Be Smart Terrace Algarve – certainly knows a thing or two. Nestled in the tranquil village of Porches, this adult-friendly hotel sits on one of the Algarve's most beautiful strands, Senhora da Rocha beach.

The focal point of this cheerful complex is the sparkling swimming pool which has a smaller pool just for children. The pool is fringed by a large sun terrace dotted with comfortable loungers and a manicured lawn with palm trees offering patches of cool shade. A poolside bar keeps sun-soakers refreshed with cool drinks, exotic cocktails and light snacks while more substantial fare is dished up in the main restaurant with a spotlight on traditional Portuguese specialities. There's also an onsite café which serves fresh bread each morning and a range of home-made pastries.
