Could Palmares have found the Algarve’s finest hideaway location?
– February 27, 2024 | Sponsored content
Unlike other resorts, Palmares Ocean Living & Golf quietly takes on its natural surroundings, sinking into one of the Algarve’s most spectacular settings, far removed from any other developments, yet enjoying oceanfront views and nearby cities and attractions.
Located in the west of the Algarve, close to the historic city of Lagos, Palmares lies in a natural amphitheatre, watching over the sweeping Bay of Lagos and out to the Atlantic.
With the wildlife haven of the Alvor Estuary to its left and the golden expanse of Meia Praia beach at its feet, a well-respected 27-hole golf course, a growing portfolio of unique-design luxury real estate, and world-class facilities and amenities, this retreat resort impresses for many reasons.
As holiday accommodation, the Palmares Signature Apartments capture this feeling of out-of-the-way exclusivity.
Architecturally unlike anything you would expect to see in the Algarve, the burnt-ochre outlines of these bold apartments nestle into the slope, overlooking the Alvor Estuary and the Atlantic beyond.
Providing a peaceful haven, where you can relax in style, the apartments, available in one- to three-bedroom configurations, each with spacious outdoor areas, combine location and luxury to dramatic effect.
If boutique beachfront hotel sounds more your style, the Palmares Beach House Hotel, with its reduced number of rooms and intimate style provides guests comfort and front row views of the ocean, not only from their balcony, but also from the spacious bar lounge.
The perfect spot to relax on mild evenings, a drink in your hand as you plan the day to come. The hotel’s restaurant with its delicious blend of Portuguese and cuisine whets the appetite for further culinary adventures in the resort.
Head up to the unique contours of the Clubhouse, with its sprawling terrace overlooking the bay, and you’ll find the resort’s gastronomic gem – Al Sud. Awarded its first Michelin Star in record time, just six months after opening, this fine-dining restaurant has continued on its star-lit path, led by the passionate hand of chef Louis Anjos.
Inspired by the resort’s location and the region in which it is located, chef Anjos has created a series of delectable gastronomic moments, having scoured the region’s produce, at sea or on land, for his own personal tribute to the Algarve’s culinary traditions.
Ingredients treasured in the Algarve, such as scarlet prawns, oysters, razor clams, joined by the freshest of fish, among many from the region’s inland areas, are magically combined with a generous dose of passion to produce an unforgettable sensory experience to diners.
Fine food, impeccable accommodation and all the luxury amenities and facilities you would expect of a resort of this calibre, alongside golf and natural beauty, Palmares is an unspoilt retreat certain to charm no matter what time of year.
