Agua Hotels Alvor Jardim is a contemporary, village-edge hideaway that puts you within a few minutes’ stroll of Alvor’s cobbled centre and a leisurely walk from the golden beach and Ria de Alvor lagoon. Expect a relaxed, friendly atmosphere, lagoon-style pool with tiki-style parasols, and fresh, modern rooms dressed in soothing coastal pastels – a great base for couples and families who want the charm of Alvor on the doorstep rather than a large resort complex.

Spend your days between the pools and the nearby boardwalk and beaches, then wander into Alvor’s charming centre for dinner in a traditional seafood restaurant or a relaxed drink in a waterfront bar.

It’s around 2 hours from Faro airport by coach transfer and just 280m from Alvor’s quaint resort centre, with the Ria de Alvor nature reserve and beach both within easy reach.
