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.

"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."

More InformationThe Bela Vista Hotel & Spa, the first hotel in the Algarve, opened in 1934 and has proudly towered over the cliffs of Praia de Rocha in manor house style ever since. Even after the modern remodelling, historical elements have been retained. The original bar in the main building, for example, enchants with its mixture of Hitchcock atmosphere and eye-catching decoration. The lobby offers a wild mix of dark wood, azulejo tiles and popg-coloured seating. The design update was also accompanied by a modest expansion, so guests now have the choice of staying in the Blue House or the Garden House, the latter of which houses 20 rooms with private terraces. The spirit of the old house is preserved in high ceilings and ornate wallpaper, but modern design furniture and bold colour tones predominate.
The 400 m² L'Occitane Spa has 5 treatment rooms, 2 of which are for couples, a sauna, a hammam, a relaxation area and a cosy fitness lounge. There is also a large pool where you can relax under palm trees and parasols with a view of the beach and the sea.
In the VISTA Restaurante, Michelin-starred chef João Oliveira provides real gourmet experiences with his fresh, Mediterranean cuisine.
Since 1976, L'Occitane has stood for authenticity, respect for the environment and the wonderful flavours of Provence. Let yourself be pampered with a wide range of facial and body treatments. On 400 m2 you will find 5 treatment rooms, including 2 for couples, sauna, hammam, relaxation room and a cosy fitness lounge. The large outdoor pool is also available for casual, relaxing hours. Private access takes you directly to the wide, golden-coloured beach for a refreshing dip in the sea.
In the Vista restaurant, chef João Oliveira serves refined creations with Algarve flair such as mussels, sea bass and Bairrada suckling pig. The young chef trained in the best restaurants in Portugal and now treats his guests to Mediterranean cuisine under the motto: "Don't mask anything, respect the authentic flavour and freshness of every ingredient." Depending on the weather, you can dine on the terrace with a marvellous view of the beach or in the restaurant in simple Portuguese style.
