Bela Vista Hotel & Spa (Algarve, Portugal)

BELA VISTA HOTEL & SPA, RELAIS & CHATEAUX 2016 Located on the pristine beachfront at Praia da Rocha, Bela Vista was the first hotel to open on the Algarve, back in 1934. Although it's since been joined by dozens of other high-end lodgings, its eclectic charm, and intimate boutique feel keeps it above the rest. The hotel's original décor - painted wooden ceilings and colourful wall mosaics - has been kept intact through a recent refurbishment that's outfitted the property with modern updates and chic, bold furnishings. The highlight of the hotel is without doubt the outdoor freshwater pool, which is flanked by palm trees and overlooks the Atlantic Ocean. This is a stunning place where refinement and excellence meets nature’s tranquillity. Surrounded by breathtaking scenery, the Bela Vista Hotel will always try to combine the refinement with hospitality in this beautiful historical place, perfectly adapted to the most modern requirements. The mansion which houses the Bela Vista Hotel was built in 1918 and preserves the romantic authenticity from when it was built.
