Domes Lake Algarve, Autograph Collection 

Perfect for families and couples

This five-star resort has an appealing setting and beach access, plus an imaginative selection of restaurants and activities.

Domes Lake Algarve occupies one of the most attractive spots on the coast, with lively Vilamoura marina to one side and access to Praia da Falesia beach on the other. As for the resort itself, its low-rise buildings, built in traditional Algarvian style and freshly renovated, look out over a saltwater lake and several swimming pools, while the grounds are liberally dotted with palm trees of every size and shape. The impeccable facilities have been designed to appeal as much to adults as to children, so you can come here on your honeymoon and return in future with the family. Grown-ups have an adults-only area with a pool and a sushi food truck called Taco do Lago serving a few light dishes and drinks. Families, meanwhile, will love the kids’ club and the eco activities, the Family Retreats and thoughtful touches such as free one-to-one golf lessons for kids.

Why we love Domes Lake Algarve, Autograph Collection

  • With family retreats and separate adult-only areas.

  • A great location between the beach and the marina.

  • Cycle through the Vilamoura Environmental Park, a five kilometre nature trail.

  • In addition to the spa facilities you can join one of the daily fitness sessions from yoga to TRX training.
