Salvador e Santa Maria Vacations from $1,048

We had a wonderful stay at White Shell Beach Villas in the Algarve! It was the perfect place for our family, especially with our 2.5 year old, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Our room was spotless, and having a washing machine in the unit was incredibly helpful during our eight day stay, especially with daily trips to the beach and pool. The staff were exceptional, warm, welcoming, friendly, and attentive throughout our visit. I also enjoyed several spa services, which were absolutely wonderful and provided the perfect opportunity to relax and unwind. We loved every minute of our stay and would highly recommend White Shell Beach Villas to families looking for a comfortable, clean, and relaxing getaway in the Algarve. We would absolutely love to return!

A beautiful retreat in the Algarve, with serene surroundings, thoughtful service, and a wonderfully relaxing atmosphere. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would gladly return!

From the moment you arrive, the beauty of the hotel is striking. Walking in feels like stepping into a peaceful sanctuary. Everything about the design, setting and atmosphere immediately creates a sense of serenity. The staff are wonderful and beautifully attired. We stayed in a two-bedroom apartment with its own private pool, and it was simply stunning. The layout and design were exceptional. Both bedrooms were beautifully done, and the bathrooms deserve a special mention; there are two, each with enormous standalone baths and huge enclosed showers. The space, design and attention to detail made the apartment feel incredibly luxurious. We visited Café Central for breakfast and lunch because we liked the peaceful vibe and found the fresh pastries, coffee, and variety of dishes to be wonderful. Sitting there quietly with a coffee was a lovely way to spend an hour of the day, and the gentleman Pedro, who works there, is absolutely charming. Overall, it has felt like a real privilege to stay at the Viceroy. It is a truly special place that combines beautiful design, outstanding service and complete tranquillity. The only problem is that you have to check out, and honestly, you won’t want to. Thank you to everyone who contributed to making this stay so memorable.
