Grand House

Like the title suggests, this place is more of a lavish residence than a typical hotel – it’s opulent, five-star, and oh so grand. Suitably named Grand House, this boutique luxury pad is set in Monte Gordo, a charming coastal town in Portugal’s Algarve region. Set near the Guadiana River and just a short walk from Monte Gordo’s golden beach, you’ll be perfectly placed for sunbathing, watersports, and exploring the nearby town of Vila Real de Santo António. The Spanish border is also just a short drive away.

This historic hotel exudes 1920s elegance, offering a rooftop terrace with stunning sea views, a spa, and access to the exclusive Grand Beach Club, where you can enjoy a stylish swimming pool, sun loungers, and waterfront dining. The hotel’s restaurant serves refined Portuguese cuisine, while the bar offers expertly crafted cocktails with river views – you can even see Spain in the distance. Nearby, Monte Gordo’s lively centre boasts traditional seafood restaurants and local cafés. Ideal for a sophisticated getaway, this five-star hotel blends vintage charm with modern luxury in one of the Algarve’s most scenic seaside locations.
