Pestana Alvor South Beach Premium Suite Hotel is a smart, boutique hotel, situated on a gorgeous stretch of Alvor Beach, in south-west Algarve. It features three large outdoor pools, an outdoor gym, as well as two on-site dining options and a bar. Rooms and suites all boast pool or sea views and are well-equipped with modern facilities.

The hotel’s location couldn’t be better, just steps away from the glorious Alvor Beach, with the dunes of Ria de Alvor Nature Reserve to the other side. Stroll along the two-mile stretch of boardwalk observing wildlife, local flora and the beautiful sights over the river. The beach itself boasts crystal clear waters and is ideal for swimming and snorkelling, in addition to windsurfing, kiteboarding and paddleboarding. You can also wander around the narrow, cobbled streets in the charming town of Alvor, just a mile away. Grab a bite to eat at one of the many cafes and restaurants found within the pretty historic centre, or visit the picturesque harbour filled with colourful fishing boats. Faro International Airport is approximately 48 miles away.

The hotel consists of several low-rise, cubed buildings that are positioned within the resort’s manicured grounds. Comprising mostly of suites, each offers large balconies or terraces that overlook the pool area or the sea, where floor-to-ceiling windows bathe the rooms with natural light. Decoration is mainly neutral, offset by blue and white or red and white striped soft furnishings – some even have mermaids painted on the ceilings. Standard facilities include a digital safe, an LED TV, tea and coffee making facilities and a minibar with water and soft drinks (on arrival). Sit back and enjoy the views from the comfort of your bed, centrally positioned in Deluxe Sea View rooms. Families should opt for a Suite Duplex Sea View room featuring two rooms – one with a double bed, the other with two singles.
