Map & location


Praia Da Rocha, Algarve, Portugal

NH Marina Portimao occupies a privileged spot on Portimão Marina, at the quieter end of Praia da Rocha. Step out to a waterfront lined with yachts, restaurants and bars, or wander about 500m to the resort’s huge sandy beach backed by striking sandstone cliffs.

The nightlife, shops and cafés along Praia da Rocha’s promenade are close enough for evenings out, yet you’ll return to a calmer marina setting. A handy taxi boat (seasonal, extra cost) links the marina with Portimão town and pretty Ferragudo across the river for easy exploring.

  • • Beach (Praia da Rocha) 500m

  • • Portimão resort centre 3km
  • • Taxi boat to Portimão & Ferragudo available seasonally (chargeable)
