Overview

 
This contemporary, village-style resort wraps everything you want from an Algarve escape into one smart All Inclusive package. Tivoli Alvor Algarve Resort spreads low-rise whitewashed blocks around six inviting pools, with a splash park and kids’ club on one side, and an adult-only pool and serene spa on the other. Stylish rooms, a choice of buffets and à la carte dining, plus a Certified Sustainable Hotel label make it a compelling choice for both families and couples.

Think bright, contemporary design, palm-lined pools and a relaxed Algarve vibe. Tivoli Alvor Algarve Resort feels like a self-contained holiday village – complete with splash park, sports courts, spa and a line-up of restaurants and bars – yet you’re still within easy reach of Alvor’s boardwalk and golden beach thanks to the hotel’s complimentary mini train. For couples and families seeking Algarve sunshine with zero stress, Tivoli Alvor Algarve Resort delivers the perfect balance. It’s around 2 hours from Faro airport by road, set just back from Alvor’s sweeping bay, with a free mini train to the beach and resort. See more Portugal holidays.
