Salgados sits on the quieter western fringe of Albufeira, surrounded by dunes, wetlands and a sweeping sandy bay. Marriott Residences Salgados Resort is tucked between the renowned Salgados Golf Course and the Salgados Lagoon Nature Reserve, giving you a peaceful, natural setting within easy reach of Albufeira’s Old Town and marina.

Follow the pathways over the sand dunes and in around 10–15 minutes you’ll reach wide, golden Salgados Beach, backed by boardwalks and beach bars. A complimentary land train (seasonal) also shuttles to nearby Galé Beach for extra choice of sunbathing spots and watersports.

You’ll find a relaxed choice of venues that work well for both couples and families. The main restaurant offers buffet and à la carte service with international dishes for breakfast and lunch, often out on the poolside terrace. Expect a mix of Mediterranean favourites, grilled options and fresh salads, with highchairs available for little ones.

A dedicated bar in the gardens (typically open June to August, roughly 10:00–18:00, dependent on occupancy) keeps pool days nicely hydrated, while the casual Goa Café provides coffees and drinks during the day.

Smart‑casual dress codes may apply in the main restaurant, and opening days/times can vary by season. Reservations may be required for certain services and a supplement may be payable depending on whether you choose Bed & Breakfast, Half Board or Full Board. Exact inclusions are based on the current season and can change, so check the latest details on arrival. What board upgrades and meal plans typically include.

Water babies are spoilt for choice here. The resort is wrapped around 10 outdoor freshwater pools, including 3 dedicated children’s pools. Each is fringed by sunbathing terraces with loungers and parasols, and most operate from roughly March to October, depending on occupancy and weather. Fresh pool towels are provided free, so that’s one less thing to pack.

Some pools feel calm and quiet, perfect for an afternoon read, while others sit closer to the main buildings and buzz a bit more with family activity.

When you’re ready for the sea, it’s around 800m to Salgados Beach, a long sweep of golden sand with a shallow shoreline and broad boardwalks – great for pushchairs. Beach facilities and watersports are run by independent operators and are usually available in the main season.

While there’s no full spa on site, the resort makes up for it with an active line‑up and plenty of fresh air. Highlights include:

• Salgados Golf Course next door, with on‑site clubhouse (advance reservation and local charges apply)
• Compact gym for keeping your routine going on holiday
• Tennis and volleyball courts for casual games

The reception team can assist with tee times and local excursions, from dolphin‑spotting boat trips to days in nearby waterparks. In the evenings, expect a laid‑back atmosphere; any entertainment is typically low‑key and seasonal rather than full‑on show productions.
