Family friendly all-rounder
The clue is in the name at the AP Victoria Sport & Beach Hotel. This whitewashed high-rise offers a brilliant line-up of activities, and it’s less than a 10-minute walk from sandy Praia da Falesia – one of the Algarve’s best beaches, and half that distance to the nearest shops, bars and restaurants.
Swimming enthusiasts will be right at home here, thanks to two outdoor pools – one for tots – a whirlpool bath, and a mini splash park with jets and sprinklers. The whole outdoor area is peppered with palms, loungers and parasols, so there’s always somewhere to stretch out in the sunshine. At the other end of the spectrum, there are football, tennis and athletics games to get involved in at the sports centre, which features a 400-metre running track. Smaller guests have their own organised fun at the hotel-run kids’ club, which includes arts and crafts and story time.
At mealtimes, head for the Podium Restaurant to feast on big buffet spreads. There’s an a la carte menu available, too. Cuisine-wise, it’s an international set-up, with pasta dishes, seafood and grilled meats all playing a starring role. The Victoria bar, meanwhile, will keep your thirst quenched with cocktails and cold drinks, and often hosts evening entertainment.
The apartments here have a fresh, modern feel, and come with a furnished balcony, a fully-equipped kitchen, a spacious living area, and either pool, pine forest or sports track views.
