Finding wellness in the Algarve

By Peter.ToUpper() | CEO & Founder | 08 Sep 2018

When choosing a location for your next holiday, the Algarve is unique as it really does have a bit of something for everyone.

Whilst many people take advantage of the stunning golf resorts which are set in beautiful surroundings, there’s also something for those looking for a little less exertion, and a bit more relaxation.


Four Seasons Fairways

The Four Seasons Fairways resort in Quinta Do Lago is a golf resort with a difference. Not only has it recently revamped its clubhouse, mixing traditional Portuguese design with contemporary styles, it also have a wellness centre, which offers various services for when golf isn’t on the cards.

What better way to unwind after a long day under the Portuguese sun than with an aromatherapy massage? Amélia and her team will take care of you, offering a range of professional treatments to suit your needs and requirements. If a massage isn’t what you’re after, then take some time out and relax in one of the saunas or steam rooms which are perfect for those of you who just want to take yourself away from the world for a moment.

If a new look and a pamper is what you’re looking for, then be sure to check out the on-site salon. The salon is unisex and offers a range of services, so whatever look you are going for, you will get the VIP treatment here.

For those who want to stay active, but not necessarily be out on the golf course, Four Seasons Fairways also offers a range of fitness classes as well as a gym kitted out with lots of high quality equipment. Classes range from morning circuits through to Pilates and stretching. Whether you want to work out every day of your holiday, or just unwind before your flight home, Four Seasons Fairways has something for everyone.
