Hotel Alba  

On the Algarve's sun-soaked coast in Monte Gordo, a short stroll from the mile‑long sandy beach. The complex sits about 300 metres from the sand, with the nearest bus stop ~200 metres away and Faro Airport under 18 km. You're also within easy reach of Ria Formosa Natural Park and Casino Monte Gordo.

This spa hotel blends a relaxed aparthotel vibe with full hotel services. Rooms are air-conditioned and tastefully decorated, many featuring private balconies, kitchenettes or mini-fridges, flat-screen TVs and en-suite bathrooms. The property is family-friendly and designed for easy, comfortable stays.

Dip in indoor and outdoor pools, including a children's area. Indulge at the spa with a sauna, Turkish bath (charges may apply) and massage rooms. There's a fitness center, hair salon, library, tour desk and 24-hour reception. Laundry, dry cleaning and paid parking are available. Wake up to sea-breeze mornings and step straight into beach mode.

Complimentary wireless internet throughout the property and a computer station keep you connected. A 24-hour front desk and on-site parking (fees may apply) add convenience for work-and-play trips.

On-site restaurant, bar/lounge and a coffee shop serve breakfast, snacks and drinks. Buffet breakfasts are offered daily (fee applies) and room service runs during limited hours. For local flavor, try nearby tapas favorites like Taberna da Belinha and fresh Algarve seafood.
