Our favourite rooms
Floaty fabrics in creamy colours and furniture crafted from natural materials set a soothing tone throughout Verdelago Resort’s townhouses and apartments. To feel like you’re taking over a beachfront holiday home, the Three-Bedroom Townhouses are split over several floors with spacious indoor-outdoor living areas – some even come with a rooftop hot tub looking out to sea.
Poolside
There are two outdoor pools to choose from; one by the main clubhouse and the second is out towards the northeast of the resort. Each sleek swimming spot is lined with stylish loungers, parasols, and cabanas, and looks out across the dune-backed beach and crashing Atlantic waves.
Spa
Wrapped within the leafy embrace of the resort’s sprawling pine forest, Verdelago’s wellness dome is a nature-cocooned space for massages and facials, as well as one-to-one yoga and pilates classes.
Packing tips
As much as you can kick back and relax, there are also hiking and biking trails to hit, plus land-and-sea sports centres to keep you active, making lightweight athleisure gear and practical swimwear a must-bring.
Also
Verdelago’s detailed harvest calendar lets foodies plan the perfect time to visit, whether it’s the season for citrus fruits (April), figs (July) or chestnuts (October).
Pet‐friendly
Well-behaved dogs are welcome to stay in any of the townhouses and apartments for €50 a night, you’ll just need to complete a pet request form when booking. See more pet-friendly hotels in Algarve.
Children
All ages are welcome; the resort’s two- and three-bedroom townhouses and apartments are ideal for families looking for an at-home atmosphere.
Best for
Beach babes of all ages will love exploring the dunes and nature sanctuary, with pushchair-friendly walkways all the way down to the beach.
Recommended rooms
The Three-Bedroom Townhouses sleep up to six, and each bedroom has its own ensuite bathroom (no shower-time arguments). Cots can be added to any room on request.
Crèche
Verdelago’s kids’ club is open every day. The activities timetable is designed to immerse little Smiths in nature, as well as offering some indoor downtime for arts and crafts.
Activities
Adventurers aged three-and-up can horse-ride at Tavira riding school, as well as climb trees, learn bushcraft skills like wood carving and ropework, and over-14s can shoot across to Spain and back on the world’s only cross-border zipline.
Swimming pool
Both of the resort’s pools are child-friendly but unsupervised, so you’ll need to keep an eye on little ones.
Meals
Your apartment’s fully equipped kitchen allows you to keep mealtimes flexible; highchairs and children’s menus are also provided in the restaurant.
Babysitting
Babysitters are available on request and for an extra charge, with at least 24 hours’ notice.
No need to pack
The hotel doesn’t have any baby kit, so bring any essentials.
Sustainability efforts
As Portugal’s first resort which meets Green Globe Certification standards from construction to completion, Verdelago Resort is built with its surroundings in mind – all 200 acres of them, in fact, which have been transformed into a nature sanctuary (home to over 100 local wildlife species, including rare butterflies and birds). The installation of a solar plant not only means that the resort is self-sufficient, but also supplies the local community with renewable energy. Verdelago’s integrated water management system reuses rainwater while actively monitoring and controlling consumption, and the bathrooms and spa are stocked with eco-friendly products from the all-natural Portuguese beauty brand, Oliófora.
