This was one of the most beautiful, modern and impressive rooms we have ever been on! The team's kindness and responsiveness is unmatched. The grounds are spectacular and eventhough our visit was during rainy days, we were able to use the heated pool and kid's playground. All the services and small details to make us feel pampered were fabulous! Thanks for the nice extra touches due to my titanium status. I am already looking forward to booking my next trip for my upcoming birthday inviting all my family ;)

We had an exceptional stay at W Algarve, which exceeded all expectations from start to finish. From the airport welcome and the warm reception at the hotel to being checked into our room earlier than expected, everything felt seamless and genuinely luxurious. The hotel itself is stunning — immaculate rooms, excellent facilities, and a clear attention to detail throughout. We also received a lovely welcome gift. Although we didn’t make extensive use of the concierge services, it was clear that the entire team operates at an exceptionally high standard.
Despite visiting in December, the area around the hotel has plenty of great restaurants nearby. While we enjoyed dining at the hotel (including the Italian restaurant, Paper Moon), we also explored the surrounding area and found many excellent options within easy reach.
One thing worth noting is that the hotel is not within immediate walking distance of a major town. Albufeira is about an hour on foot or a short and very affordable Uber ride away, while a smaller area with a surf beach is around a 20-minute walk in the opposite direction. Surfboards were available for hire even in December, and Albufeira also offers dolphin-watching tours. For us, this location worked perfectly, especially with the beautiful coastal paths and direct beach access, ideal for walking and hiking.
The level of service truly stood out — from housekeeping to restaurant teams and every member of staff we encountered. Everyone clearly takes pride in creating an outstanding guest experience. A superb hotel that we would recommend to couples, families and anyone looking for a high-quality luxury stay by the ocean.

✨ An Unforgettable Stay at W Algarve ✨
From the moment we arrived, the experience at W Algarve was nothing short of exceptional. The check-in was incredibly warm and welcoming, setting the tone for what became one of the most memorable hotel stays we’ve ever had.
Celebrating our anniversary, the team truly went above and beyond to make it feel curated and deeply personal. Walking into our room to find champagne, dessert, personalized messages, and photos thoughtfully placed was such a beautiful surprise and a testament to their attention to detail and genuine hospitality.
Every single staff member we encountered was delightful, gracious, and welcoming — service that felt effortless yet deeply intentional. Without question, this ranks as the best experience I’ve had at any W Hotel around the world.
The Italian cuisine at Paper Moon is phenomenal — an absolute standout and a must-visit. The international breakfast at Market Place every morning was a delightful bonus. Add in the breathtaking sunset views, beach access and luxurious W Spa,and you truly have something special.
W Algarve delivers a world-class, thoughtfully curated experience that feels both elevated and personal. I cannot wait to return and would highly recommend it to anyone seeking a truly exceptional, welcoming, and unforgettable stay. Thank you for all the unforgettable memories W Algarve.

We had an absolutely amazing stay at the W Hotel in Albufeira! From the moment we arrived, we were blown away by the hotel’s décor , it perfectly blends modern luxury with a creative touch of local cave-inspired design, making every corner feel unique and special. The rooms were spacious, comfortable, and elegantly styled, giving us a true sense of indulgence.
What really stood out, though, was the staff. Every single person we encountered was friendly, welcoming, and genuinely went out of their way to make our stay memorable. Their warmth made the experience feel personal and luxurious at the same time.
The location is ideal for exploring the Algarve. Staying here allowed us to easily visit charming towns like Lagos and Faro, while always coming back to a peaceful and stunning home base. The Algarve itself is breathtaking, and this property made our trip even more special.
We can’t recommend this hotel enough for its luxury, style, and local character all in one. Truly unforgettable!

From the moment we arrived, the W delivered an experience that felt thoughtfully curated and effortlessly luxurious. Check-in was smooth and welcoming, and every interaction with the staff reinforced what a remarkable team this is — warm, professional and genuinely invested in making your stay outstanding. I must single out the Whenever/Wherever team: their proactive attentiveness, delightful suggestions and lightning-fast responses turned ordinary moments into little highlights throughout our stay.
The room was immaculate and wonderfully spacious — a true haven. Impeccably clean, with generous living space and comfortable furnishings that immediately made us feel at home. The design strikes a perfect balance between modern sophistication and cosy, residential comfort; it’s rare to find a hotel room that invites you to linger the way these did. Small details — plush linens, thoughtful storage, a bathroom that felt like a private spa — all added to a sense of care and quality.
What sets this hotel apart is the atmosphere: unforced, warm and quietly refined. There’s an unmistakable extra — a kind of quintessence you can genuinely feel in the service, the ambience and the way the team anticipates your needs without ever being intrusive. Whether it was a personalised recommendation, an unprompted smile in the hallway, or the flawless execution of a special request, those touches added up to a deeply memorable stay.
Thank you to everyone at the W for breathtaking moments and for creating the perfect environment for a restful, rejuvenating holiday. I left refreshed, impressed and already looking forward to my next visit. Highly, highly recommended.
