Amplify your mornings with a colossal breakfast at Market Kitchen, visit our AWAY® Spa and FIT gym, or soak up the sun and bold beats over a drink at SIP @ WET®. Take in killer views and drinks at Sea Sky bar to the beats of international DJs spinning the decks, before transitioning to Paper Moon for classic Italian flavors. Soak in the azure views, slip into a robe, order in-room dining and sleep peacefully under 350-thread-count cotton linens. Before you know it, hit the alarm, head out and hit repeat. For anything else, just ask Whatever/Whenever®.

Albufeira Old Town

Albufeira Old Town

Nightlife
3 mi
Albufeira is one of the most bustling towns in the Algarve, especially at night. By day, crowds hit the shimmering beaches of the Algarve coast, lazing between the fishing boats and high cliffs. Once the sun sets, the action switches to the Old Town's cobbled lanes and the vibrant Albufeira Marina. Nightlife spots in these areas run the gamut, from tiny karaoke joints blasting chart-topping music to Portuguese taverns offer hearty meals and local wines.

Zoo Marine

Zoo Marine

Recreation
4 mi
Zoomarine is a family park offering a blend of shows featuring marine mammals, informative exhibits and water park attractions all in one location. Watch as the Zoomarine dolphins, sea lions and birds interact naturally with their trainers and see the majestic marine mammals both above and below the water thanks to the pools with transparent sides. Away from the animals there is still plenty of fun, including the hugely popular mini theme park, complete with big wheel and the pool areas, which are the perfect place to cool down in the summer months at Zoomarine.

Ria Formosa Natural Park

Ria Formosa Natural Park

Park
25 mi
The Ria Formosa Natural Park is one of the most amazing places of the Algarve, not only for its variety of landscapes but also because of its unique location. Classified as a Natural Park in 1987, Ria Formosa encompasses an area of about 18 000 hectares, and is protected from the sea by 5 barrier-islands and 2 peninsulas: the Peninsula of Ancão that the locals call Ilha de Faro, the Barreta Island also known as Ilha Deserta, the Culatra Island (where the lighthouse of Santa Maria is located), the Island of Armona, the Island of Tavira, Cabanas Island and, finally, the Peninsula of Cacela. This awesome area extends along the leeward coast of the Algarve through the municipalities of Loulé, Faro, Olhão, Tavira and Vila Real de Santo António.

Silves Castle

Silves Castle

Historical landmark
13 mi
Built on top of a hill, the imposing Silves Castle is Roman in origin, but it was the Arabs who built the magnificent castle we see today, between the 8th and 13th centuries. Built of Silves sandstone, the castle has the shape of an irregular polygon and a main gate flanked by two defensive towers, three turrets and seven sides. Visitors can walk around the patrol route. There are a number of remains from the period of Muslim occupation on the inside of the castle, in particular a silo which was used for storing cereals and a cistern covered by a vault seated on five semi-circular arches. Despite having been rebuilt in the 13th century after the city was taken from the Moors by D. Paio Peres Correia, Silves Castle is the best example of Arab military architecture in Portugal.
