Algarve Hotels

Insights from kimkim local specialists for our hand-selected hotels in Algarve, Portugal
The Algarve region beckons visitors with its scenic coastline and charming towns. Though there are several excellent options, many kimkim travelers have enjoyed Pousada Palacio De Estoi—Monument Hotel & SLH, where you can stay in a historic palace with neoclassical charm, just a 20-minute drive from the beach. If you're after a family-friendly option, hotels like Tivoli Carvoeiro Algarve Resort allow you to wake up to cliffside ocean views, play in the pool with the kids, and take a break with a visit to the spa. Or to enjoy direct beach access, book a room at an accommodation like Vila Vita Parc Resort & Spa, with its Moorish-styled rooms and a two-Michelin-starred restaurant.
