Bela Vista Hotel & Spa - Relais & Châteaux

The Bela Vista Hotel is an intimate and luxurious hotel as well as an historical property - an authentic experience in the Algarve, a Portuguese dream; a true boutique hotel situated right on the amazing beach of Praia da Rocha. A warm place combining luxurious, modern comfort with traditional standards of hospitality, where hotel guests feel welcomed and valued. The building which houses the Bela Vista Hotel has belonged to a Portuguese family since the 19th century. The property used to be a small hotel of just 15 rooms which opened in 1934 on Praia da Rocha's famous beach. Today the owner has decided to relaunch it, combining the old ambiance of 77 years of traditional hospitality where hotel guests feel at home with the best of luxury and modern comforts. The renovation of the hotel has been directed by Graça Viterbo, one Portugal's leading interior design firms with extensive experience in the independent luxury hotel sector. Graca Viterbo value interiors in terms of light, space, texture, culture and memory. Deployed on the cliffs of Praia da Rocha, some say it was the first hotel in the Algarve. Having hosted distinguished personalities, still has in its guest books, registration of signatures and comments from Sidónio Pais, the King of Italy Umberto di Savoia, Fulgâncio Baptista, among others. Combines refinement with hospitality in a historical space, perfectly adapted to the most modern requirements. With a stunning and awe-inspiring view of Praia da Rocha, the Bela Vista Hotel is within walking distance of the most prestigious Algarve Golf Clubs; Marina of Portimão, and no more than 10 kilometers from the Algarve International Circuit. A restaurant with a chef of excellence and a terrace overlooking the sea, two bars, private beach access, the inviting outdoor swimming pool, private parking, and a SPA signed by L'OCCITANE - unique in Portugal - turn this Hotel in a memorable and unexampled spot throughout the Algarve.
