Introduction

Reviews

This stunning resort has separate adults-only and family areas and a lengthy beach.

VidaMar Resort Hotel Algarve sits among swathes of palms in a beautiful natural spot on Portugal’s south coast. It’s next to Salgados Golf Course and Salgados Lagoon Nature Reserve – one of the most important freshwater wetlands in the Algarve which is a popular spot for bird watching – and just 150 metres down a wooden walkway you’ll find the four-mile-long Praia dos Salgados. The hotel has a great range of facilities, whether it’s just the two of you or you’ve got the kids with you.

Why we love VidaMar Resort Hotel Algarve

There are separate adults-only areas at MARClub and plenty of activities for all of the family.
At VidaClub children can enjoy sports, games and reading sessions, There are even child spa treatments, making them feel like pampered mermaids and pirates.
The seven-kilometre beach of Praia dos Salgados is just a 200-metre walk from the resort.
At the OSMOS Wellness Center, you'll find a spa with ice fountains, a Jacuzzi, cold bucket showers and six treatments rooms including one for couples and several relaxation areas.
