The Algarve. It is the sunniest region in Portugal and its craggy landscapes, its coves, its villages and their markets, its fragrances of pine and eucalyptus make it a simply beautiful area.
Our proximity to some of the prettiest beaches in Europe; the Marhina and Rocha to name just two.
The impeccable service!
The restaurant and its daily offering of freshly-caught fish and local speciality dishes.
Vale da Lapa Village Resort ★★★★★
A lavish suite for an Algarve family holiday.
By Amy Turner, VeryChic correspondent
Portugal is a whole country that puts the sea pride of place wherever you turn. All of the country’s history revolves around water; you can see it in the flag, blazing with a circular yellow coat of arms that represents the earth and symbolises Portugal’s centuries of maritime exploration. Located amongst the nation’s prettiest beaches, you will find the Agua Hotels Vale da Lapa. Ochre cliffs trim long stretches of sand, and the enticing Atlantic Ocean gently ripples along this picturesque scene. Enjoy a sunny holiday to this luxurious resort, for the perfect Portuguese escape.
The Vale da Lapa resort is a haven of calm, with a restorative ambience designed with the whole family in mind. The spacious suites themselves feel authentically Mediterranean, as they are open and airy with hues of biscuit pink and terracotta, yet they’re surrounded by gardens so lush they seem slightly alien to the sun-baked Portuguese south. Fully kitted out with all of the accoutrements of a well-equipped family home, never mind a holiday pad, the Vale de Lapa resort is as practical as it is aesthetic.
The resort also includes a panoply of exclusive five-star facilities. There’s everything from the indulgent (spa, outdoor and indoor pools, putting greens, paddle tennis courts…) to the practical (private doctor, laundry, mini-market!). Everything from your basic needs to your wildest dreams has already been taken care of at the Vale de Lapa resort.
After a restful night in the luxurious suites, you certainly won’t be short of energy to explore the surrounding Vale de Lapa on foot. A little further away, just ten minutes by car, you can also find a fabulous trail, the Percurso dos Sete Vales Suspensos, the Seven Hanging Valleys Walk, where the “walk” along a cliff path is interspersed with climbs down into the rocky inlets. With so many outward-bound, family-friendly pursuits on offer, enjoy returning each night to your luxury suites for some much-needed rest and relaxation!
In the evening, enjoy a delicious meal at the Patio da Lapa restaurant. Fitted out in warm wood, savour a light supper of freshly-caught fish each night, tempered with a wide choice of local wines. Afterwards, you can retire to the bar and sip on a glass of local wine, admiring the view, before returning to your comfortable bed for a restful night’s sleep!

- Tavira, a remarkable little town and a true Algarve gem which has been frozen in time. Don’t forget to enjoy a glass of something chilled in the central plaza, paved with small Portuguese tiles and bursting with palm trees and pepper plants.
- A game of golf. Admire the verdant scenery of the Algarve on the nearby Pestana golf course. Enquire with the hotel for transport to the golf course.

The Vale da Lapa Village Resort ***** is in the Portuguese Algarve region about 45 minutes east of Faro.
BY PLANE
Faro Airport (FAO) sits about 4km / 2.5mi west of Faro in the Algarve, around 60km / 37mi (60 minutes') drive from the hotel. It is a fairly well-served with regular and seasonal flights, from capitals and major cities across Europe, including from the UK. Alternatively, the even better served Lisbon Airport (LIS) is located around 2 hours & 30 minutes' drive to the north.
From the airport to the hotel:
• By Taxi: available outside of the arrivals terminal at the taxi ranks, although we recommend booking a taxi or transfer service in advance, particulary during summer months.
• By Car: renting a car is an option to consider as it will allow you to visit the different golf courses or go to Faro for a day trip, again we recommend booking a car in advance, particulary during summer months.
