Endless ways to relax
Tucked away in a corner of the Porto Mare hotel, The Residence is a complex of self-catering apartments that could be perfect for that relaxing getaway you've been planning. The setting is a real winner, too. Close to the pebbled shore, and set in lush gardens, you shouldn't have any trouble unwinding here.
Nestled amongst the greenery you'll find three swimming pools, including one that's given over to the kids. There's a kids' club to keep them busy, too, with the likes of painting, board games, and mini golf on the agenda. Daily activities take place poolside, so if you're after a bit of peace and quiet to get lost in a good book, make for the gardens and find a spot that faces the sea – pure uninterrupted bliss.
If your mind, body, and soul needs a bit of TLC, head inside to the spa and spend an indulgent afternoon making the most of the relaxed atmosphere. Between the Jacuzzi, the sauna, and the indoor-outdoor pool, as well as a tempting line-up of treatments and therapies, you'll be unwinding in no time.
Head back to your room and the well-equipped kitchenette means you'll have everything at your disposal to cook up a storm. If you don't fancy the washing up, the hotel racks up four restaurants for you to choose from. Check out the buffet spread in the main restaurant or tuck into Portuguese specialties at Alfama, where you can dine on the terrace in the balmy evening air. Elsewhere there are two more à la carte places serving Italian and Mediterranean eats, so you'll be sure to find something to suit everyone's taste buds.
Each night after dinner you'll be treated to live music in the main bar, so grab a drink and pull up a chair.
