Algar Seco Parque

Named after the famous rock formations, the Algar Seco Parque is a resort comprised of a range of villas, apartments and suites. Just a 10-minute from the centre of Carvoeiro and the beach which lies at its feet, the Algar Seco Parque offers hilltop views over the ocean, air-conditioned accommodation and outdoor swimming pools.

The self-catering accommodations feature kitchens, and some have patios overlooking the ocean. Free WiFi is available throughout. The living areas come in a variety of shapes and sizes, but all are homely and designed in a traditional style, intended to be cool during the summer and warm during the winter months.

There's shared access to the Algar Seco Parque's swimming pool, which encompasses a large area and includes complimentary deck chairs, sun umbrellas and towels. The larger pool has a diving pool, the second pool is heated during the winter, and there's also a separate pool for kids.

For snacks, nibbles and drinks, the Bistro Algar Seco serves breakfast, lunch, dinner and snacks. This is great if you're looking for something quick and easy, but Carvoeiro is also known for its restaurants and bars, so don't feel limited by the hotel's offering. Handy to have though!

• Please note that, depending on the unit type booked, clients can be allocated outside the main complex (T1 Bungalow located 300m from the main complex).
