Whether you prefer to swim laps in the morning sun or float lazily through a warm afternoon, the pool area caters to every mood. Adjacent to the terrace, a dedicated barbecue station invites al fresco dining under the Algarve sky, where grilled fresh seafood and local vegetables taste even better accompanied by a glass of regional wine.
