AP Maria Nova Lounge - Adults Friendly  

Perched in the heart of Tavira’s historic center and set at one of the town’s highest points, this adults-friendly spa hotel is steps from Camera Obscura and a short walk to the Roman Bridge. Cabanas Beach and the Ria Formosa Natural Park are a short drive away, and the train station sits about a 15-minute stroll from the front door.

Renovated with a modern, contemporary vibe, rooms feature private furnished balconies, minibars and LCD/satellite TVs, plus complimentary wireless internet. Many rooms and the rooftop terrace offer panoramic city and estuary views. The hotel mixes sleek design with local character and a south-facing garden that frames the property.

Relax in both an outdoor pool tucked into a south-facing garden and a heated indoor pool. The full-service spa offers massages, a hot tub, sauna and steam room, while a health club keeps your fitness routine intact. There’s also a rooftop terrace with panoramic views, a poolside snack bar, two bars/lounges, a hair salon, 24-hour front desk, airport shuttle (surcharge) and on-site parking (charges may apply).

A business center and complimentary wireless internet keep work on track, with 24-hour front desk support and concierge services to arrange transfers or local tours.

Two on-site restaurants — including Balsa — serve regional flavors and local cuisine, complemented by a poolside snack bar and two bars/lounges. Limited-room service is available for lazy evenings on your balcony.
