A lakeside resort, reimagined: In April 2022 the Domes Lake Algarve reopened after a conversion costing around seven million euros. All rooms and public spaces were refreshed, the restaurants got new concepts, and by the water came a pool with its own bar that is reserved for adults.
Domes Lake Algarve · VilamouraWhat it means for you: A wooden boardwalk 1.2 kilometers long circles the lake. In the morning you spot birds from the wetland next door; during the day you move between the family pool, the beach and the gazebos of the adults-only area, where SORA serves bowls, sushi and juices in summer.
Planned for little ones: The Kiepos Club welcomes kids aged four to twelve free of charge, and the Mini Club takes babies from four months for a fee. A babysitter can be arranged, so parents can dine alone by the lake.
On the shore: The Soma Spa “The Refined” at the Domes Lake Algarve sees itself as an eco spa. Massages, facials and detox treatments use ELEMIS and Codage Paris products, alongside microcurrent muscle stimulation and light therapy. Saunas, a heated indoor pool and a relaxation area complete it; access is from age 16.
Domes Lake Algarve · VilamouraThree pools: Between mid-September and mid-May the outdoor pool is heated, up to 25 °C depending on the weather. The adults' pool sits by the lake, and under a wooden pergola at the water's edge the Estrella pool bar serves all-day brunch and Portuguese street food.
If you want a 5-star hotel in Vilamoura mainly for spa days, reserve your treatments together with your booking.
On the beach: The Domes Lake Algarve's Àcosta sits right on Praia da Falésia. Olivier da Costa cooks traditional Portuguese recipes there with a light international touch, plus a fish menu and a long wine list; it opens for lunch and dinner from April to October and is at its best at sunset.
Domes Lake Algarve · VilamouraOn the lake: Blend, on a floating esplanade, brings Japan and Peru together: ceviche, grilled meats, Portuguese wines and Japanese whiskies. Antonino's turns out wood-fired pizza, and Gustatio serves the breakfast buffet in the morning and Portuguese cooking with a Mediterranean accent at night.
No booking fee: the benefits simply come on top of the rate you book.
For an aperitif: From 5 pm the Migratory Bar by the water mixes cocktails whose recipes follow the routes of migrating birds, with finger food in summer and sushi in winter.
Head to the Quarteira market in the morning, just east of the marina, and order a cataplana on the promenade in the evening, the fish stew cooked in a copper pot. A white wine from the Algarve goes well with it.
Long before Vilamoura existed, a Roman estate stood here: the Cerro da Vila excavation reveals baths, mosaics and tanks in which fish was salted, and a small museum explains the finds. Today's town was laid out from the late 1960s, with the harbor at its center and golf from the start.
A resort with a past: The Domes Lake Algarve was once called The Lake Resort, later The Lake Spa Resort, and won World Travel Awards in 2021 and 2022. Today the Greek group Domes Resorts runs it for the owner Hotel Investment Partners, as part of Marriott's Autograph Collection.
In Vilamoura the main question is what you want outside your door: harbor and promenade, or nature park and beach. Faro Airport is around 25 kilometers away.
