In 1934, a 19th century family house overlooking the ocean became the first hotel in the Algarve. Situated on the magnificent beach of Praia da Rocha in this sun-drenched region in the south of Portugal, the Bela Vista has now been refurbished and is an immaculately preserved resort hotel on this busy coastline where you can find relaxation and privacy amidst vibrant colours. Basking on the recliners around the very fine pool, or lounging on a beach with private access, this is the perfect place to while the time away. The murmur of the waves of the nearby ocean is a constant companion, whether sipping a cocktail at the bar at sundown, enjoying a romantic dinner on the huge terrace overlooking the beach or looking out over the neatly manicured terraced gardens.
