Boca do Rio Resort

Lying outside the town of Lagoa, 9.8km (6 miles) east of Portimão, this is one of the best but most unheralded resorts in the western Algarve. Created from a former sardine factory (don't worry: the smell is gone), it lies across the harbor of Portimão close to the mouth of the Arade River. This is a complete resort with everything at your disposal, ranging from river-based watersports to a luxury spa. The hotel is designed in an avant-garde modern fashion. All the midsize bedrooms are furnished in a tasteful modern style, with terraces opening onto the view; each comes with a tiled bathroom. The chefs prepare an excellent Mediterranean cuisine using market-fresh ingredients.

Facilities:
2 restaurants; 3 bars; babysitting; bikes; children's center; exercise room; Jacuzzi; 2 outdoor pools; room service; spa; 2 outdoor tennis courts (lit); limited watersports equipment/rentals; free Wi-Fi in lobby
