Looking for a different point of view? Climb up Sao Miguel Peak, admire the landscape and see if you can make out any landmarks.

Sao Miguel Peak is an interesting place to begin exploring Faro. This naturally raised area of land is recommended by fellow travelers, but it isn't the only spot to see here. Set aside time for other sights like Estoi Palace, Olhao Municipal Market, and Parque Natural da Ria Formosa to fully appreciate what the area has to offer.

9.4/10 Exceptional! (68 reviews)

Outstanding hotel, upgraded on arrival. Staff couldn’t have been more helpful. Excellent pools for kids, great kids club, very good gym. We were not even playing golf, just a great place regardless of golfing or not. On site restaurants/cafes a little too expensive if staying on site. Recommend hiring a car to get out and explore local vicinity/restaurants etc. overall fantastic hotel for a family or couples.
