A casual holiday in Portugal
With sweeping sea views and an inviting pool, the Pestana Blue Alvor Beach could be the perfect place to stay for a sun-soaked Portuguese getaway. The location is spot-on, too, with Praia Três Irmãos just five minutes’ walk away, and the centre of Alvor – with lots of bars and restaurants – just a few minutes further.
For poolside lounging you can choose between three pools – each with a team of sun beds circling the water, and plenty of parasols to go ‘round when you need a bit of shade. One is even reserved just for the grown-ups, so if you fancy a quiet swim that’s the place to be. On the activities front you can head to the tennis court for a bit of friendly competition, or get stuck into the likes of aqua gym, basketball, and dance classes. There’s a kids’ club, children’s pool, and playground to keep the little ones busy, too.
Feeling peckish? Take a trip around the world at the international buffet restaurant, which serves up a generous, all-you-can-eat spread for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Light bites, meanwhile, are doled out from the poolside bar, so no need to worry about a case of mid-afternoon munchies. And for drinks? Look no further than the Sunset Lobby Bar.

Find out more about Alvor
It may be a laid-back Algarve resort today, but Alvor has a rich and dramatic history of occupation that spans many centuries. Those who want to learn more about this town’s turbulent past can visit the ruins of its medieval castle and its 16th-century church. There is also much to keep nature-lovers happy on Alvor holidays, as the town overlooks the protected Ria de Alvor Nature Reserve and is surrounded by sandy beaches.
