Location

The hotel is situated in the popular seaside resort of Quarteira, a small tourist focused place which became an official city back in 1999. It is within walking distance to plenty of local attractions such as shops, restaurants, bars and nightclubs.

It is just minutes from the beautiful sandy beaches and a lovely marina, affording excellent views of the resort. The area is overlooked by hills and mountains to the north and to the south and west lies the Atlantic Ocean.

During the months of May to September this region is one of the sunniest in Europe with sunshine guaranteed on an almost daily basis (for most of the day). The Algarve is the area of Europe which is closest to Africa and, as such, this has had a notable impact on Algarve culture and historical events in the region over the centuries.

Things to do nearby

There are plenty of attractions nearby, including the popular resort of Albufeira, a short drive away. This is a highly picturesque small city along the coast and provides a wide array of touristy activities with a marina, gold courses, nightclubs and many bars and restaurants for the high intake of visitors that come here during the hot summer months.

There is also the Algarve Seafaris nearby, which provides local boat tours – a sure pleasant way to relax and enjoy the sea breeze, away from the heat on the land The nearby zoo marine situated at Guia (about 10km away from Albufeira) provides plenty of exciting rides for all ages and water flumes, to help you keep cool in the high temperatures.

Depending on what you may think of as ‘nearby’ – whether it be somewhere you can travel to in as little as ten minutes, or somewhere that you could travel to and from within the space of a day, you may want to the explore the possibility of taking a long day trip to Lisbon, the capital of Portugal. Here you can explore an endless number of historical sights, such as Castle of São Jorge and Praça do Comércio. A trip across the Spanish border to the city of Seville could also be a worthwhile journey, taking in famous attractions such as Seville Cathedral and Plaza de España. Of course, these cities would require several days worth of sightseeing to fully digest the cultural attractions they have to offer.

Some may prefer to stay more locally and spend as little time as possible travelling. For those people, a trip to the historic attraction of Fortaleza de Santa Catarina shouldn’t go amiss, where you can admire spectacular panoramic views of the Algarve coastline. A trip to the ancient former-Algarve capital of Silves is also another option.
