A laid-back Algarve pad
Perched above Carvoeiro on the Algarve coast, this hotel’s a great shout if you like your holidays with a little scenery built in. Carvoeiro Beach and the village centre are just a short walk away, so it’s easy to mix pool time with sandy afternoons, clifftop strolls and dinners that drift into sunset drinks. You’re also well placed for local highlights like Algar Seco and boat trips along the coast, which means there’s plenty to do when you can tear yourself away from the view.
Back at the hotel, it’s relaxed, easy-going and wonderfully low-fuss. There are five outdoor pool areas, including one heated in winter depending on the weather, plus children’s pools for little splashers. Two tennis courts add a sporty option if you’re feeling energetic, and the whole place has that do-it-your-way aparthotel feel that works brilliantly for families, couples and anyone who likes a bit more flexibility on holiday.
Food-wise, this is more about heading out than staying in. Monte Dourado is self-catering, and Carvoeiro’s restaurants, bars and cafés are right nearby, so seafood lunches, easy breakfasts and long alfresco dinners are all nicely on the cards. This is a smart pick for an Algarve break with sea views, village charm and a location that makes everything feel pleasingly easy.

Find out more about Carvoeiro
Small but full of fun, Carvoeiro is a beach town slap-bang in the heart of the Algarve coastline. Less than an hour’s drive from Faro airport and surrounded by beautiful beaches, coves and local fishing towns, Carvoeiro holidays promise a lively resort base with plenty of opportunities for exploration further afield. The town is nestled between two sizeable hills, and it’s well worth strolling up from either side of Carvoeiro beach to take in the views across the bay and along the coast.
