5★ Bela Vista Hotel & Spa, Praia da Rocha

Luxury house on the wide sandy beach of Portimão

The golden yellow beach + the sun + the roaring sea = that dreamy holiday feeling at Praia da Rocha in the Algarve. The 1.5 kilometre-long sandy beach begins at the marina in Portimão - where it is very wide - and ends narrowly and idyllically at the rugged cliffs. A true hotel legend: the Bela Vista was the first hotel to be built in the Algarve in 1934. A lot has happened since then, of course: Completely renovated and extended, it now boasts direct access to the golden sandy beach. From breakfast to sundowners, you always have the postcard panorama in front of you. The historic house is perched on a rocky outcrop above the beach, giving it an unmistakable "villa-on-the-hill" look.

"Bela Vista is part of the renowned Relais & Chateau group and is also the best choice for gourmets: chef João Oliveira has secured a Michelin star for his Mediterranean cuisine. "A journey through the flavours of Portugal" is how he describes his varied creations. Good to know: Portimão is the right destination for those guests who want to experience something after sunset, as the town is known for its lively nightlife."
