Best Luxury Hotels In Lagos, Portugal
Portugal’s Algarve has long been a popular destination for UK travellers; just a short flight away, it offers golden beaches, historic buildings and a warm Mediterranean climate. Lagos is found on its western shores, a little away from the more touristy areas of the south, ensuring a genuine taste of Portugal, with all the trappings of a sheltered and sunkissed resort. Theme and water parks make it a good choice for parents seeking a balance of family-friendly activities as well as Portuguese culture (head to the cobbled streets for some authentic local restaurants).
Lagos, Algarve
Casa Mãe
(5 stars)While many resorts here border the beach, this 19th-century casa feels more like a mansion home, both in terms of its location (within the city’s winding streets) and ambience. It has just 34 bedrooms all set around a kitchen garden, a triangle-shaped pool and a courtyard, flanked by Lagos’ ancient fortifications. Its amenities include a restaurant Orta, a yoga room, a spa (with a rooftop lap pool, a hammam and a relaxation room), an outdoor cinema and a chic boutique. Casa Mãe’s owner has infused much of the style of his homeland (France) into the decor, in collaboration with interior designer Martin Blanchard.
