Ukino Terrace Algarve

When it comes to crafting a perfect holiday experience, Ukino Terrace Algarve – formerly the Be Smart Terrace Algarve – certainly knows a thing or two. Nestled in the tranquil village of Porches, this lovely hotel sits on one of the Algarve's most beautiful strands, Senhora da Rocha beach.

The focal point of this cheerful complex is the sparkling swimming pool which has a smaller pool just for children. The pool is fringed by a large sun terrace dotted with comfortable loungers and a manicured lawn with palm trees offering patches of cool shade. A poolside bar keeps sun-soakers refreshed with cool drinks, exotic cocktails and light snacks while more substantial fare is dished up in the main restaurant with a spotlight on traditional Portuguese specialities. There's also an onsite café which serves fresh bread each morning and a range of home-made pastries.
