An introduction to Riu Palace Algarve

Modern water features to soothe the senses. Highly polished marble floors you can see your face in. Comfy chairs inviting you to sink in and take the weight off your travel weary feet. The Riu Palace Algarve is out of this world. We're talking the kind of understated elegance that will sweep you off your feet. From the moment you arrive you'll know this is going to be the stuff holiday dreams are made of.

It's got a fantastic wellness centre where you can get steamed up and scrubbed down, indoor and outdoor pools so there's a swimming spot to suit every mood and a top-notch restaurant serving meals that will make your mouth water.

What's more, it's all just a few minutes' walk from the beach. Okay, there's over one hundred steps between you and the silvery sands below, but think of the calories you'll be burning without even setting foot in the free gym. And the spectacular views across sun-kissed waves make the extra effort well worthwhile.

Without a doubt, this luxurious hotel will have you in holiday heaven in a heartbeat.
