Vilalara Thalassa Resort
From its privileged position atop the Praia das Gaivotas cliffs, overlooking a golden sand cove, the Vilalara Thalassa Resort is considered to be one of the most desirable hotel resorts in the Algarve. Inside, it is no less enviable, as chic, spacious suites are tastefully furnished and styled, whilst a delicious Portuguese menu is capable of satisfying the most discerning of palates.
The state-of- the-art Vilalara Longevity Thalassa & Medical Spa is not just considered one of the best thalassotherapy centres in the world, it was also Portugals first. If this sounds impressive, it should, as the spa here has been voted the Most Life Changing Spa in the world by the reputable Tatler Awards. Guests can receive personalised, signature treatments aimed to promote relaxation, rejuvenation, correct nutritional habits and even weight-loss, all in the tranquil picturesque settings in the lush mature hotel gardens.
Conrad Algarve
Should you be a health, spa, or golf enthusiast then there is no finer hotel for you than the Conrad Algarve. Ideally situated for both the beach and premier golf courses, the Conrad Algarve is boarded by the sea and the picturesque Ria Formosa Natural Park.
The contemporary and luxuriously designed Conrad Algarve offers a choice of indoor and outdoor swimming pools, infinity pool and of course, the Health Club & Spa. Here, guests can discover their natural equilibrium and restore their state of wellbeing. In the peaceful surroundings of the treatment room or outdoor cabanas, indulgent treatments and therapies are expertly administered. As guests unwind and succumb to massages, wraps, oxygen treatment and dips in the vitality pool, they will begin to feel their tensions and stresses melt away.
Hilton Vilamoura As Cascatas Golf Resort & Spa
Paradise has been achieved here at the Hilton Vilamoura As Cascatas Golf Resort & Spa, created with cascading waterways, lakes and other bodies of water dotted among the five hectares of magnificently sculpted gardens. Once again (and typical of Algarve properties) golf is high on the agenda. Golfing aficionados will revel at the sight of the on-site golf stimulator and nearby golf courses.
But what really draws guests to this resort hotel is the 7 Seven Spa and Zen Garden Portugals largest spa. Inspired by water, the spa is characterised by the sound of babbling water and aquatic health treatments intended to sooth and pamper body and mind. A record breaker in more ways than one, 7 Seven Spa employs some of the most advanced and expert fitness and health technology found anywhere in Portugal.
