Just a 40-minute drive from Faro International Airport, Tivoli Carvoeiro Algarve Resort is a recently renovated, upscale resort offering coastal luxury, jaw-dropping ocean views, a rooftop bar, scrumptious cuisine and impeccable service. Designed with its location in mind, the hotel offers 248 spacious guest rooms and junior suites, most of which offer panoramic views of the mighty Atlantic. All rooms are extremely well-appointed, with comfy beds, a TV, a powerful shower and a coffee machine. The big bonus, especially for all the sea-facing rooms, is a private terrace with panoramic views - the perfect place to enjoy coffee and a book in the morning, or a glass of aromatic Algarvian red wine at sundown. Guests looking for the ultimate Tivoli Carvoeiro experience can book one of the hotel’s two exquisite suites – the Tivoli Junior Suite, which comes with a private hot tub on the balcony or the Carvoeiro Suite, which has a spacious living room, an open-plan bathroom and complimentary soft drinks in the minibar.

Tivoli Carvoeiro’s crowning glory, however, is its swimming pool - big enough to have a proper swim in, and quiet enough for lazy days in the sunshine, with sun loungers, complimentary towels and a pool bar to hand. When all that relaxing in the sun gets too much, visit Tivoli Carvoeiro’s Spa and treat yourself to one of their signature massages, scrubs or facials using Voya Organic Beauty products made with 100% organic seaweed handpicked from the Atlantic Ocean.

Algarvians know a thing or two about food and Tivoli Carvoeiro’s mission is to prove to you that this really is the case. Breakfast is served in the bright and spacious Mare Bistro where you can enjoy an extensive selection of continental favourites. Lunch is also available there, but if you prefer a change of scenery, have lunch on Med Food and Wine’s sunny balcony. The buffet-style restaurant offers a different cuisine every week and can take you on a journey of flavours, without completely forgetting about the Algarve and the region’s exceptional seafood creations.

Enjoy a pre-dinner aperitivo and live DJ sets at the hotel’s snazzy Sky Bar or at the equally stunning Azur Bar a few floors down and once the sun has set, head to The One Wine Boutique Restaurant to indulge in freshly caught seafood paired with superb Portuguese wines, carefully chosen by the restaurant’s sommeliers.

What to do

Soak.up.the.sun. Whether it’s through lazing around by the resort’s gorgeous pool or through sipping on refreshing cocktails in Tivoli Carvoeiro’s atmospheric rooftop bar, make sure you make the most out of Portugal’s 300 days of sunshine a year. Put your trainers on and set off on a hike - The Seven Hanging Valleys Trail is the best way to explore the unusual geology of the Algarve and take in some of the most beautiful views in the region. The 5.7km trail links Praia de Vale Centeanes to Praia da Marinha and passes through Tivoli Carvoeiro Algarve Resort, making it ridiculously easy for guests of the hotel to start the hike from the resort’s back doors.

With eight golf courses spread within 20km from Tivoli Carvoeiro, the resort is also a perfect spot for golf enthusiasts. Leave everything in the Golf Desk’s hands – from tailoring your golf holiday and booking everything for you, through to renting and cleaning your equipment and driving you to your preferred golf course – you won’t have a single thing to worry about. And isn’t this what holidays are all about!

A trip to the Algarve would be incomplete without visiting one of the region’s wineries for an afternoon of wine tasting in the sun. If you want to try some of the most sublime wines of the region, paired with a tapas lunch consisting of beautiful Portuguese cheeses and cold cuts, visit Quinta da Vinha Cabrita - a wonderful family-owned winery just a 15-minute drive from Tivoli Carvoeiro.
