With great sea views and a sandy beach on the doorstep, the Porto Bay Falesia in Olhos d’Agua has a fantastic setting in the Algarve.
The Porto Bay Falesia provides fantastic views. Its clifftop location means its gardens look straight out to sea, with the panoramas broken only by pine trees. Plus, steps lead down to Praia da Falesia Beach, where the sands stretch for eight kilometres.

The hotel’s main bar makes the most of the setting. Perched on the cliff edge, it’s a perfect spot for gazing over the sandstone rock formations and sea beyond. And as for the rest of the culinary line-up, you’ve got two restaurants – a smart buffet number and Il Basilico, which serves modern takes on classic Italian cuisine.

Outside, the pool is framed by terraces and pines. You’ll find sunloungers placed in the best viewpoints around the lawns, as well.

Another plus point of this place is the location. Although the hotel is in a peaceful spot, it’s just a five-minute walk from the restaurants and shops at Olhos d’Agua.

Your guide to Olhos D'agua, Algarve

“This is a genuine fishing village – so authentic that you can still turn up on the beach each morning and buy the day’s catch fresh from the boat.”

Just a stone’s throw from the bright lights of Albufeira, Olhos D’Agua offers a decidedly laid-back break. For starters, the nightlife is virtually non-existent. Evenings revolve around a stroll along the seafront and a good meal in one of the waterside restaurants. Days, on the other hand, are normally spent on the beach where the freshwater springs which give the town its name - Olhos D’Agua means ‘Eye of Water’ - bubble through the sand. Plus there are plenty of rock pools to explore and some hidden coves where the snorkeling is excellent. Pine clad cliffs and rocky promontories frame the beach and colourful fishing boats are hauled up on the sand – it’s safe to say it’s got wow-factor by the bucket-load. Of course, you can always laze the day away on your beach towel admiring the sun-spangled sea views. For a change of scene, try the long sandy beach of Praia de Falesia nearby, which stretches all the way to Vilamoura. Back at base, the hilly, cobbled streets of the town can get busy in high season. But either side of July and August, this is a quiet place, where locals queue shoulder to shoulder with the holidaymaker to buy fresh fish and vegetables at the seafront early in the morning. If you prefer to stock up at the supermarket, then there are several to choose from, as well as a large shopping mall nearby. As traditional as they come, this is a perfect pocket of real Portugal.
