Epic Sana

Upon arrival at the Epic Sana Algarve, you'd be forgiven for thinking you’d pitched up between the pages of a glossy travel magazine. This super stylish hotel is tucked into a huge pine forest overlooking the sea, so not only are the interiors impressive, but the views are, too. There’s even a string of winding pathways that’ll take you right to the clifftop steps above the gorgeous Praia de Falésia beach.

With a pool scene like this one, it’d be rude not to spend the day by the water. There’s a trio of swim spots to pick from – one of which is reserved for adults – and they’re all set in smart sun decks topped with daybeds and mattress-topped loungers. Little ones, meanwhile, get two pools of their own to splash in. You’ll be sorted for drinks and snacks between sunbathing sessions, too, thanks to the pair of poolside bars.
