Salema Beach Village

Set in a quiet Portuguese setting, the Salema Beach Village is perfect for those looking for a peaceful and relaxing getaway. It’s based on the outskirts of a traditional fishing village, complete with narrow streets and whitewashed houses.

You’ve also got a beautiful Blue Flag beach within a 15-minute wander of the hotel, where you can walk with the sand between your toes, and go for a dip in the sea. If you aren’t a fan of the beach, the hotel’s sun terrace is the place to be. The curvy pool is circled by sun loungers, so stretch out, soak up some vitamin D, and relax. There’s a kids’ pool for splash-making children, too, which will keep them busy when they’re not burning off steam in the playground.

If you want to explore the village, rent a bike from the hotel and cycle around. The hotel also runs a free shuttle bus to Salema. If that doesn’t tickle your fancy, play a game of padel. You can also keep up your fitness regime at the hotel’s outdoor gym.

Keep your tummy happy with light bites from the snack bar, and if you fancy something more substantial, you’ll find plenty of restaurants within a 10-minute stroll.

The townhouses at this resort are surrounded by blooming gardens and cypress trees. Rooms are stylish and modern, and come complete with air conditioning, a kitchenette, a dining area, and a whirlpool bath. Each townhouse has a balcony or terrace to enjoy, too.
