W Algarve to open in 2018 on Portugal’s sun-kissed coast

W Hotels Worldwide has announced it will open W Algarve in 2018 on Portugal’s sun-kissed Algarve coast. Developed in partnership with Nozul Algarve, S.A., the oceanfront oasis will overlook the coastline of the Atlantic Ocean.

The debut will mark the third W Escape in the Europe, a newly created portfolio of W Hotels located in ski, sand and entertainment destinations around the world, that make the traditional ‘resort’ a last resort.

Located on a 250,000 square metres of beachfront on the central Algarve coastline, W Algarve is an escape for extraordinary experiences and a full calendar of exclusive W Happenings, showcasing what’s new in fashion, music and design. The hotel will offer 134 guest rooms and suites, including two Extreme WOW Suites, the W brand’s reinterpretation of the Presidential Suite.

Guests and locals will enjoy relaxing at one of W Algarve’s three beautiful beaches or sipping a cocktail at the glamorous WET deck pool. Guests will also be able to indulge in the spa or unwind with outdoor yoga, tennis or in FIT.

W Algarve will offer a range of cocktail and culinary experiences from the W Living Room, the W brand’s energetic spin on the hotel lobby, to sought-after restaurants and dynamic destination bars.

W Algarve will also cater for those who need to mix a little work with play, offering two modern meeting rooms to elevate any meeting from ordinary to extraordinary. The 500-square-metre meeting rooms are complemented by extensive outdoor facilities ideal for open air events or beachfront celebrations. The brand’s iconic Whatever/Whenever service will be available 24/7, providing jetsetters with whatever they want — from late night manicures to speed boat experiences —whenever they want it.

For those looking for a permanent home on Portugal’s golden coast, Nozul Algarve S.A., the owner of the W Algarve, will offer 81 W-branded Residences for purchase, featuring one-, two- and three-bedroom units with ocean views. The W-branded beachfront Residences in the Algarve are the first in Europe offering owners access to all W amenities and services, including preferred dining reservations and seating at the hotel’s restaurants, bars and lounges; in-residence dining and STYLE housekeeping services; a private W Residences pool and the brand’s signature Whatever/Whenever service promise. These residences can enter an optional rental programme managed by the hotel. In addition, there are 24 W branded “hotel-residences” within the main hotel building, where ownership is limited to specific periods of the year.
