Tivoli Carvoeiro, Lagos

Perched on the Vale Covo cliffs, Tivoli Carvoeiro Algarve Resort offers a stay of contemporary style in a prime location in the Algarve. The hotel is in Carvoeiro, a small, charming beachside town with whitewashed buildings, shops, and restaurants overlooking the Atlantic Ocean. The Algarve's beauty is on full display, as the hotel overlooks the sea and cliffs of the coastline, and you'll have easy access to the area's most popular locations. Lagos and Albufeira are both 35-40 minutes away, while Caneiros Beach is a 20-minute drive, and Benagil Cave is just 10 minutes away.

The hotel's 240+ clean and modern rooms are all about the ocean below, as soft and neutral tones of blues, whites, and grays highlight the landscape. Some room types have balconies and sea views, while all include large windows. Family and interconnecting rooms are available, and overall, this is a welcoming, family-friendly hotel that includes children's menus and a kids' club. Bathrooms include powerful rainfall showers, and one room is accessible for those with limited mobility. If you're looking to indulge, check out the Premium Junior Suite, with a hot tub on the terrace overlooking the ocean, or the highest-tier option of the Carvoeiro Suite, with wraparound windows and a bathtub with the best view on the property.

Tivoli Carvoeiro Algarve Resort is all about bringing the Algarve to you in different ways. Head to the spa, which has a sauna, hammam, and treatment rooms, where specialists use local pottery and ingredients to help ground you in this sense of place. There's a pool with a kids' section and a sweeping view of the ocean, and you can even arrange for a picnic on the cliffside to enjoy something extra special. There are three on-site restaurants whose cuisine ranges from fresh seafood and local dishes to fine dining, and all are tasty options.
