Colina da Lapa & Villas

Overview: 
Set in fragrant gardens dotted with palm trees, this low-rise resort feels more like an exclusive village than a hotel. Whitewashed villas frame a shimmering pool, while friendly staff keep things running smoothly. Whether you plan to laze by the water, explore local coves or tee off at nearby courses, Colina da Lapa provides a welcoming base. 

Amenities, Sports & Entertainment: 
Days revolve around the expansive outdoor pool, where sun-loungers invite lingering in the Algarve warmth and a small pool keeps younger guests happy. Active holidaymakers can enjoy a match on the tennis court, practise putting on the mini-golf course or join a kick-about on the five-a-side pitch. A playground, bike hire and occasional evening entertainment round off the fun. 

Food and Drink: 
The resort’s Mediterranean-inspired restaurant serves generous buffet breakfasts and à la carte dinners showcasing Portuguese flavours. Light lunches, ice-creams and cocktails are available from the poolside snack bar, while the lounge bar is the spot for a night-cap or a game of pool. Self-caterers will find a small mini-market just outside the gate.
