Location
Bela Vista Hotel & Spa - Relais & Chateaux is the perfect place for those looking for a premium location with spectacular ocean views. Located right on the beach in Portimão, the hotel offers its guests access to a beautiful white sand beach with imposing rocks. Guests can enjoy the lovely pool and great location as well as local shops and restaurants just opposite the hotel.

If being close to the beach is a priority for you then the location of this hotel is perfect! However, please note that Portimão is not the most picturesque city and the street that the hotel is on can be quite crowded with souvenir shops and budget restaurants. Regardless, guests rave about the hotel’s unique and privileged location directly overlooking the beach. If you’re looking to enjoy a bit of a lively atmosphere, this location is perfect.

Rooms
Bela Vista Hotel & Spa - Relais & Chateaux is a luxurious property with attention to detail evident in the beautiful decor of the building and bedrooms.
