VidaMar Resort Hotel Algarve 

Perfect for couples, families and groups

This stunning resort has separate adults-only and family areas and a lengthy beach.

VidaMar Resort Hotel Algarve sits among swathes of palms in a beautiful natural spot on Portugal’s south coast. It’s next to Salgados Golf Course and Salgados Lagoon Nature Reserve – one of the most important freshwater wetlands in the Algarve which is a popular spot for bird watching – and just 150 metres down a wooden walkway you’ll find the four-mile-long Praia dos Salgados. The hotel has a great range of facilities, whether it’s just the two of you or you’ve got the kids with you.
