Suites Alba Resort and Spa commands a dramatic clifftop position above Praia de Albandeira, where golden sandstone formations rise directly from the Atlantic and narrow beach coves cut into the Algarve coastline.
The resort's whitewashed architecture and terraced grounds follow the natural slope of the terrain, offering sweeping ocean vistas from multiple levels.
This 4.7-rated property delivers both contemporary comfort and unobstructed views of Portugal's most sculptural stretch of coast.
Super beautiful Location and setting. Great private beach and place to explore. Great for families with kids as well. The Spalba is quite nice but the Jacuzzi stayed cold, the Hammann was working but the water hose not. We where a bit unlucky with our apartment, AC not working and the floor heating in the bathroom also not. The Kitchen was ok but with very little utensils no knife and kitchen towel. Brought our own wood for the fire place as they don’t have wood or fire starters (but a fire place in all apartments:-) ) The breakfast in Winter is à la carte and ok not so 5* ish (no salmon) for my expectations tough. We would have loved to operate the coffee machine ourselves… Over all nice experience any felt like a nice 4* weekend but not the luxury of 5*
