When this 19th century jewel opened as a hotel in 1934, it was the first of note on the Algarve. At the time, Praia da Rocha was a sleepy village and although it is now a lively resort town, this precious hotel has managed to maintain an oasis-like tranquillity which is immediately apparent as you pass though the high, wrought-iron entrance gates. After extensive renovation, Bela Vista reopened in 2011 and has 38 bedrooms housed in the Palace, Garden House and the Blue House. Whilst these rooms are decorated in a modern, contemporary style with some vibrant colours, they still retain some classical touches such as painted wooden ceilings and wonderful wall tiles. A member of Relais & Châteaux, it is situated on a promontory with direct private access to the wonderful sandy beach below. There is a swimming pool, a L’Occitane spa and a superb Michelin-starred gastronomic restaurant, ‘Vista’, with its terrace and delightful sea views. Praia da Rocha is located an hour’s drive from Faro airport. No children under the age of 12 accepted.
