Muthu Oura Praia Hotel

You’ll find the Muthu Oura Praia Hotel in a well-located spot in Albufeira. It’s just a 10-minute wander from Praia da Oura, where a sunbathing-ready stretch of caramel-coloured sand awaits you. Head away from the water, meanwhile, and there’s a whole host of bars and restaurants within a 10-minute walk. 

Days here revolve around the water. The outdoor pool is a large curvy number, and there’s a shallow swimming spot next to it for little ones to enjoy. There are plenty of sun loungers and parasols dotted around the spacious sun terrace, so that’s sunbathing sessions sorted. Plus, the poolside bar keeps food and drinks coming throughout the day.

When you’re not sunbathing or swimming, you can get involved with games of tennis, or head to the gym for a workout. There’s also a spa area with a sauna, and treatment rooms for massages – ideal if you fancy a bit of added relaxation. And if you’re after a drink or two after dinner or before heading out, the Hangover Bar has got you covered. 

All the apartments and rooms here come with kitchen facilities, which is ideal if you fancy self-catering while you’re away. You’ll also have a private bathroom and a balcony or terrace to chill out on.
