YEAR ROUND SUN AND SPA IN


THE ALGARVE P


ortugal’s sunny south may be most famous for its beautiful beaches and world-class golf courses, but there’s another side to the Algarve too. With over 40 spas to choose from, treatments include oxygen infusion, thalassotherapy, a


range of massage disciplines, reflexology and reiki. Guests can indulge in a one-off pampering session or have one-on-one consultations with experts to create tailored programmes for fitness, detox, stress management and weight loss. Discounts are on offer during the biannual Algarve Spa Weeks, in spring and autumn. Many spas are found in the region’s finest luxury hotels. At Epic Sana’s Sayanna Wellness


Centre, couples can have Oriental-inspired treatments in an outdoor pavilion overlooking the Atlantic, or book in for a package designed to promote mindfulness, detox or reshaping. The Hilton Vilamoura As Cascatas has one of the largest hotel spas in Portugal, a pampering


paradise of pools, grottos, treatment rooms and a Zen Garden. The Fitness Centre is open 24 hours a day, and personal trainers are on hand to help guests revitalise their workout sessions. The new Anantara Vilamoura Resort is the luxury hotel brand’s first foray into Europe, and its spa offers a one-of-a-kind combination of Mediterranean therapies, Turkish hammam rituals and time-honoured Asian treatments in a tranquil setting. Most five-star properties are on the beach, but the unique Macdonald Monchique Resort & Spa is set in a secluded mountain spot. This peaceful atmosphere works in harmony with the exotic spa, where there’s a Himalayan rock salt wall, an aroma steam room, igloo and tropical showers.

LONG STAYS


The Algarve’s reliable and welcoming climate – it enjoys 300 days of sunshine per year – and wealth of activities means it’s well suited to long stays, particularly in the winter when it’s the perfect short-haul spot to escape the UK’s chill.


Accommodation options


from hotels to villas cater to couples, families and solo travellers, creating a home- from-home atmosphere for guests who want to take extended breaks. They can either sample


the range of activities on offer – first-class golf and tennis, vineyard tours, hiking and biking, jeep safaris and water sports – or simply relax and enjoy the region’s 88 Blue Flag beaches.
