Opened in 2022, this outpost of the fun, glamorous global brand combines cool urban styling and sleek contemporary architecture with a beachside vibe. As well as its fresh, airy rooms and suites, it features a number of Residences that make it a brilliant contender for multi-generational holidays, as well as lots of facilities, amenities, and activities that appeal to all ages.
And W Algarve’s setting – on the central Algarve coast just outside Albufeira – couldn’t be better for family holidays. The Algarve has almost 100 Blue Flag beaches ideal for days out with kids, as well as lots of thrilling water parks, and is also a brilliant spot for dolphin and whale watching tours.
The Residences
With funky furniture inspired by the shape of beach pebbles and local sea caves, in dove-grey and seagrass-green hues, the W Algarve’s Residences with kitchens are perfect for larger families or holidays with grandparents, with up to four bedrooms.
As well as giving more space and flexibility, these super-spacious Residences come with fabulous extras including BOSE sound systems with specially curated playlists and ‘mixbars’ of treats. All facing the Atlantic Ocean, they have ample balconies, and duplex versions have roof terraces. In a clifftop setting, they’re brilliantly located within walking distance of three golden-sand beaches, a golf course, a marina, and buzzing nightlife.
Things to do at W Algarve
The resort has two pools, including a sparkling multi-level outdoor infinity pool surrounded by cabanas, with live DJ sessions and themed parties. Nearby water sports offer more aquatic-based fun, and there are hidden caves to explore and bouldering in the vicinity, making the resort a brilliant option with teenagers.
Perhaps most spectacular of all is the W Algarve’s unique spa with its six treatment rooms, steam room with a choice of four scents (cedarwood, lemon, Provence lavender, and eucalyptus), sauna, fire and ice tubs, sensory showers, and mani-pedi stations. There’s also a tented alfresco relaxation lounge with views over the resort gardens and a Beauty Bar serving cocktails and detox drinks.
Food and Drink at the W Algarve
The Residences come with the benefit of their kitchens, plus the indulgence of 24-hour room service. But the resort has several dining options to tempt you out too, giving you the opportunity to sample wonderful local produce. They include Market Kitchen with its outdoor area and modern takes on both farm and ocean-fresh local cuisine and global favourites.
There’s also Paper Moon for Italian cuisine by the award-winning Milanese restaurant group, and the Living Room for tapas accompanied by cocktails, aperitifs, craft beers, and global gins, while SIP @ WET offers ocean-inspired healthy food, including soul-food detox bites, plus signature cocktails and local micro brews.
