BaySide Salgados

Rubbing shoulders with a nature reserve, BaySide Salgados has snagged a quiet spot away from the bustling streets of Albufeira. Praia dos Salgados – famed for the lagoon that sits behind the beach – will be within arm’s reach from here, as it’s about a 20 minutes’ stroll from the apartments.

The complex itself has a lovely, relaxed feel to it thanks to lush, tropical greenery that hugs the edge of the property. A rectangular pool takes centre-stage on the outdoor terrace, surrounded by sun loungers perfect for soaking up a bit of sun, and with a bar nearby to keep the drinks flowing. There’s a playground pitched up in the garden, too, so the kids can have their fun while you focus on unwinding.
