Set atop a cliff above the Atlantic, this unique oceanfront property is one of the Algarve’s best kept secrets. It was the only property in Portugal recently nominated for a world category, "Europe’s Leading Boutique Hotel". For those who are looking for seclusion, this Sea Jewel has its own isolated beach that is difficult to reach from the exterior guaranteeing total privacy. Also, some of the suites have their own private garden and pool or open air jacuzzi. If you are a serious golfer, you will be delighted to know that you are in the midst of the most gorgeous golf courses in all of Europe. There are more than 10 golf courses nearby. If golf isn’t your thing, you can relish in the peaceful subtropical gardens with stunning views of the deep blue Atlantic Ocean or visit the new spa which is equipped with sauna, turkish bath and a water corridor with special showers. You and your soon-to-be spouse can spoil yourselves with heavenly massages in the couple treatment room.
The Two Star Michelin Restaurant will surely be up to par with your palate. The chef is very inventive and goes through a lot of trouble to bring only the finest ingredients to your plate. After your romantic candlelit dinner, take a moonlit stroll along the white sandy beach and then fall asleep to the crashing waves in extravagant rooms with everything from round walls to FENDI furniture.
If you demand over the top luxury, coupled with extremely charming and sophisticated service, and nothing less than the best cuisine in Portugal this is definitely the place for you!
