Lagos is a quiet, cheerful town with a constant cool breeze that smells of the sea, but it is its rocky coastline and magical caves that catch our eye. The Algarve coastline in the Lagos area is a wonder of nature offering some of the most beautiful beaches in the world.

This beach is accessed by a small bridge belonging to the fortress.
In the first part, there is a small strip of sand between the rock formations that extend into the sea that calm the water and make it perfect for swimming. A small stairway provides access to the beach and a tunnel connects Praia dos Estudantes to Praia da Batata.

Perhaps the best known beach in Lagos, due to its proximity to the historic centre, Dona Ana beach is perfect for those looking for calm crystal waters.
In 2013 the Spanish magazine Condé Nast Traveller recognised it as one of the best beaches in the world and the most beautiful in Portugal; in 2015, it was recognised by TripAdvisor as the best Portuguese beach.

Like other beaches in the region, Camilo is surrounded by cliffs and rock formations, and can be accessed by a long stairway. Before you start descending enjoy the breath-taking view of the beach and the high cliffs.

Ponta da Piedade is one of those places that is hard to believe really exists. Located about 3Km from the centre of Lagos, it has probably the most amazing coastline in the world. Featuring an impressive combination of majestic rock formations, arches, caves, ochre-coloured cliffs, and crystal green water, this beach will definitely take your breath away.
5 minutes from the hotel,
On the other end of Ponta da Piedade and only 3 km from the historical centre of Lagos lies the charming beach of Porto de Mós, the second largest beach in Lagos.
A wide beach that provides plenty of space to lay down your towel comfortably.
13 minutes from the hotel,
The sandy beach of Meia Praia stretches round Lagos bay, starting near the north breakwater of the Ribeira de Bensafrim stream and over 5 km to the western breakwater of the Ria de Alvor.
At the western end we are surprised by the view of Lagos and Ponta da Piedade that stretches into the sea. Here the horizon opens up, between the wide line of the ocean, the low dunes of the beach, and the gentle dark green hills, covered with pine forest and scrub extending inland.
