Cascade Wellness & Lifestyle Resort

The theme running through this impressive resort property is the expeditions of Portuguese navigators, who mapped their way across Europe, Africa, Asia, and South America in the 15th century. Their seafaring exploits are imaginatively reflected in the interior décor embellishing the hotel's rooms and suites, which add a suitably historic touch to the contemporary architecture that defines the hotel's eye-catching accommodation wings.

Renowned as a center for sport, wellness, and a host of other invigorating outdoor activities, the resort promotes a "healthy mind in a healthy body" lifestyle through its Tainai Spa facility. Here, a program of therapies and treatments complements predefined or bespoke well-being packages, like "Keep it Fit" and "Body Detox," that realign the physical being with the mental state. Tennis, golf, and football academies further underline the emphasis placed on fitness and nutrition. But it's not all about working up a sweat. On-site leisure amenities include an inviting outdoor swimming pool, a smaller sand-bottom pool designed for youngsters, and the fantastic Caskiddy Kids Club adventure playground.

The resort is located near Lagos, close to the beautiful Ponta da Piedade headland and within walking distance of the most picturesque beaches in Portugal. After a day out sightseeing, guests can relax in one of the hotel restaurants like Senses, with its show kitchen and stunning views over the Atlantic Ocean.
