Resort

Dreaming of an all-year-round holiday lifestyle? At W Residences Algarve, ownership perks are second to none. Here, hotel-inspired living includes 24-hour service and access to the new W Algarve extensive facilities - plus a dedicated residential team. Residents can enjoy plenty of green open space, in-residence dining, discounts at W Hotel stores, full-service housekeeping, preferential rates at Marriott hotels and more. The Residences boast best-in-class design: high-quality, playful fittings inspired by the beachy region. Seafront views and unparalleled services and amenities are the permanent backdrop for your own private space.

Residents can enjoy a quiet dip in the residents-only pool, set away from the hotel with sea views. W Algarve also has an impressive, split-level pool situated between the hotel and W Residences Algarve, with a DJ on hand nearby to provide mellow poolside beats. Since swimming and sunbathing are thirsty work, there’s a choice of al fresco bars in the grounds offering easy refreshments. Keep your cool.

Life tastes better with W. Residents and guests are spoiled for choice when it comes to food and drink. Market Kitchen offers all-day dining, inspired by southern Portuguese cuisine. For more formal meals, meet the dramatic Paper Moon: an export from Milan. Fish is the star on the seasonal but timeless menu; post-meal, sip sundowners on the terrace. Residents can also enjoy a W in-residence dining service. Nights in have never looked better.

Get an added glow at the innovative W Algarve AWAY Spa. The emphasis here is fun and playful, thanks to the friendly, all-star beauty bar. Hit up the beauty pods and the mani-pedi stations (with a cocktail in hand), then test-drive bespoke jet-set treatments featuring Comfort Zone products. Designed to be simultaneously soothing and revitalising, the spa draws upon local, beachy inspirations – with a modern, W-style twist.

Enjoy a permanent pass to all of the W Residences Algarve attractions and distractions. Mood-boosting extras include: the Whatever/Whenever© service and 24-hour concierge, plus round-the-clock in-residence dining, laundry and dry cleaning, valet parking, high-speed internet access and more. There’s even a dog-walking service, to help time-pressed owners who have appointments elsewhere – the spa, perhaps.

Owners are treated to a host of exclusive benefits to include preferential worldwide hotel rates, W Hotel store and W-venue discounts, plus access to residents-only areas, including the Residences pool.

Nautical types can go yacht shopping – imaginary or otherwise – at dashing Vilamoura Marina or Albufeira Marina. Venture inland for historic towns with cobbled streets, bustling markets and peaceful orange and lemon groves: Silves, Loulé and Querença are ripe for adventures. Enjoy people-watching at vibrant Vilamoura, one of the three corners of Algarve’s Golden Triangle, or admire candy-coloured architecture in the coastal city of Albufeira.

After lunch or dinner at one of the power-duo restaurants at W Algarve, mingle with fashionable locals at the region’s buzzing beach clubs, which range in tempo from mellow to high-energy. The Algarve’s alluring food and drink scene spans Michelin-starred crowd-pleasers, wine-estate heroes and stylish beachside hangouts. Naturally, seafood is a local highlight – best paired with a glass or two of icy Portuguese white wine.

The Algarve is famous for its glittering coastline and golden beaches. Go yacht-shopping at Vilamoura or Albufeira marinas, or discover a secret cove and unwind on an iconic stretch of sand. There are plenty of scenic local beaches: Evaristo Beach, Falésia Beach, Galé Beach, Castelo Beach and Marinha beach - ranked as one of the most beautiful beaches in the world. It is also worth venturing inland for serene, green golf courses, adventurous bike rails, hilltop villages and peaceful forests.
