Pestana Alvor Praia

The attractive Praia do Três Irmãos - one of the Algarve's most popular beaches - fronts this well-established hotel resort and is accessed via a dedicated elevator. Popular with package tourists and Portuguese holidaymakers, this mid-range choice is operated by the country's biggest hotel chain, which is highly regarded within the tourism industry. Accommodation is a choice of airy, comfortable Deluxe rooms, some with private balconies, with either sea or garden views. All feature comfortable and modern conveniences, and selected rooms can accommodate an extra bed if needed.

A stay here is really all about rest and relaxation, and a bubbly, carefree ambiance pervades the public areas. Guests can take advantage of a lovely outdoor swimming pool that is surrounded by lush, expansive gardens. Another pool indoors is bathed in warming natural light. For a special treat, arrange an hour or so of well deserved me time at the Magic Spa and submit to the masseuses' expert hands. Mini-golf and a kids' club provide light-hearted distraction. Guests yearning for a more serious challenge on the fairways can take advantage of preferential green fees at two nearby Pestana-owned golf courses. Tennis courts are also available. The a la carte Almofariz restaurant looks out over the beach, and the sparkling ocean vista enhances any occasion.
