The 26 Best Beachfront Hotels in Europe
"Algarve, Portugal This is the grand dame of the Algarve’s resorts, with something for everyone. Private yacht with which to set sail on the seas? Tick. Two Michelin-star restaurant? Tick. Extraordinary wine cellar? Tick. The country’s only Sisley Spa? Tick. Brilliant kid’s club? Tick. And so, it goes on. The choice of restaurants is huge, ranging from Michelin star dining at Ocean, where you really must try Chef Hans Neuner’s sublime dishes, to traditional Portuguese favorites at Adega, Japanese teppanyaki and sushi at Mizu, and tuna tartare and salmon poke bowls next to the infinity pool at Whale. They have their own private beach, great shops, and tip-top service throughout the 202 rooms and villas dotted around the 54 acres of sub-tropical garden. —Mary Lussiana Distance to the water: On the beach Travel time: 45 minute drive from Faro Airport Price: Rooms from around $240 per night" - Lauren Burvill
