Pestana Alvor Beach Villas Seaside Resort

This popular four-star resort enjoys one of the best locations in the Algarve, mere steps away from a long, sandy beach where you’ll find sunbeds, parasols and calm, clear waters. It’s also just a 10-minute stroll from the charmingly historic town of Alvor.

You'll be staying in one of the villas within the grounds of the Pestana Dom João II – they're perfect for those wanting a bit of extra space and privacy on their holiday. Wander up to the main hotel building and you'll find outdoor pools surrounded by lush gardens with plenty of shade, and a separate pool just for kids.

At the spa there's a heated indoor pool, sauna and steam room, plus a menu of massage and beauty treatments. While parents are getting pampered, there’s a summer kids’ club with activities for four- to 12-year-olds. The resort also offers an entertainment programme, plus live music or shows in the evenings.

In addition to beaches and sunshine, golf is one of the Algarve’s star attractions, and golfers won’t want to miss a few rounds on the area’s numerous world-class courses – there are two within five minutes’ drive.

When it comes to meals, the buffet restaurant serves a wide array of dishes for breakfast, lunch and dinner. There are also several bars, including on the beach.

Between its unrivalled beachfront location, beautiful grounds and excellent leisure facilities for all the family, this resort sets the scene for a truly memorable holiday.
