Excellent hotel. Beautiful location just off beach. Beautiful furnished and decorated. And maybe best thing, excellent service. Which is not that common in algarve and I know live here for 24 years. We choose also because dog friendly... Many places say... But here they are.. Can take dog anywhere and not looked upon. Spa also nice. Rooms very spacious all amenities there and excellent shower, airco etc.. Nothing to complain at all... Even the parking is OK at 5 euros per night... Instead of the ridiculous amounts they sometimes charge... So conclusion. Location great, hotel great, rooms great and overall service!

We spent the weekend at the hotel and are genuinely impressed. The grounds are spacious, beautifully designed, and well maintained, with direct access to the beach. The quality of the rooms, hotel facilities, and gym is top-notch. The outdoor pools are quite cold in early November (around 16–18°C), but there’s a well-heated indoor pool about 20 meters long—perfect for swimming. The staff are very friendly and attentive; we never experienced the long wait times mentioned in other reviews, though the hotel wasn’t fully booked. Breakfast was plentiful and left nothing to be desired. The gym is truly outstanding—excellent equipment, lots of space, and impeccably clean.
We’d happily come back anytime. We paid around €160 per night including breakfast.

Stayed 3 nights at the Hotel for a short getaway during mid November.
Couple + dog.
The Hotel is set in a very quiet area of Albufeira, far from any mess.
The grounds are kept very well and it is wonderful to walk around. Just outside the Hotel is a beautiful beach and trail on the typical Algarve coast.
Room has all the necessary, we were given an upgrade for which we are very greatful; it was nice to find the dog's essentials there upon arrival.
It would be nice if the tap of the sink "delivered" more water.
The service was very good at all hours of the day and night. A swift checkin, smiles and kindness during breakfast, very nice people at the reception and a fast checkout too.
The late afternoon complimentary aperitivo is a great touch!
Thank you Kimpton Atlântico for the great and relaxing stay.

Our stay at the Kimpton Atlântico Algarve was nothing short of spectacular, truly defining what a five-star coastal escape should be. This property expertly blends refined style with the stunning natural beauty of the region, creating an experience we won't soon forget.
Our accommodation offered a panoramic sea view that served as a daily masterpiece. Opening the curtains each morning to the endless blue horizon was an instant dose of tranquility. The design and comfort of the room made it feel like a private coastal sanctuary.
The hotel’s crown jewel is undoubtedly the Zenite Rooftop. This space offers some of the most breathtaking views of the Algarve I have ever witnessed. We spent hours watching the landscape transition from the golden glow of sunrise to the dramatic colours of sunset, cocktail in hand. It’s a perfect setting for both romance and quiet reflection.
For true relaxation, the wellness hub is a must. It is meticulously designed to be a peaceful retreat, offering excellent facilities and a serene atmosphere that perfectly complements a day spent by the ocean.
From the incredible vistas at every turn to the dedicated, friendly service, the Kimpton Atlântico Algarve provides an unparalleled sense of calm and luxury. We look forward to returning.

A Perfect Algarve Retreat
My wife and I spent ten unforgettable days at the Kimpton Atlântico Algarve in early October, and it was nothing short of spectacular. From the moment we arrived, we were greeted with genuine warmth and professionalism — the kind of attentive, seamless service that makes you feel both completely cared for and utterly at ease.
Each morning began with what quickly became one of our favorite rituals: breakfast overlooking the gardens and cliffs. The spread was remarkable — from local pastries and fresh fruit to made-to-order omelettes that were always perfectly cooked. We especially loved the choice of seating: indoors for a relaxed start or out on the terrace to soak up the soft morning light and sea breeze.
The gym deserves a special mention — well-equipped, spotless, and inviting, it made it easy to keep up our routines (or at least justify that second pastel de nata).
What truly sets the Kimpton Atlântico Algarve apart, though, is its setting. Nestled quietly among the cliffs with expansive gardens that seem to merge into the horizon, it feels like a hidden sanctuary. There were days when we didn’t feel the need to leave the property at all — the serenity and beauty of the surroundings were enough to fill the soul.
Whether you’re looking to explore the rugged beauty of the Algarve or simply unwind in peace, the Kimpton Atlântico Algarve offers the best of both worlds. Elegant without being pretentious, tranquil yet full of life — this is a hotel that truly understands the art of hospitality. We left refreshed, reconnected, and already planning our return.
