We had a wonderful stay here and would highly recommend to anyone. The staff were so attentive and helped in every way possible The food was exceptional as were the cocktails Our sea view from our room was beautiful Only downside was there was no hot water on our last day and the cleaners didn’t replace the facecloths that we used on the first day Overall we had a fabulous time here

Wonderful staff and excellent service. We enjoyed our three days at the Bela Vista Hotel and Spa. The hotel is such a convenient location with beautiful views of the beach, the ocean, and the surrounding cliffs. The history of the hotel was impressive and the buildings have been beautifully restored and maintained. We took advantage of the spa and treated ourselves to the use of the facilities, the talented staff, and the relaxing treatments. Shout out to the best Concierge & Guest Relations - Beatriz Conceição!

I have long wanted to stay in a Relais & Chateau hotel. When I decided to spend my birthday in Portugal, I found this little jewel box. The staff was professional from the first moment, I got the room I requested in advance and wonderful gifts, champagne was waiting for us when we arrived. The gastronomy is phenomenal, the breakfast is sumptuous on the terrace. The pool is a dream. Don't think too much, just book here!

Bela Vista is a beautiful boutique hotel overlooking an expansive beachfront with spectacular ocean views. Rooms are cozy and well-appointed with attention to detail. Staff are friendly, knowledgeable and keen to make your stay a memorable one. Located backing onto the downtown core, close to an active nightlife - great if you are into that! If not, request a quieter room facing the ocean (rooms are sound-proofed if you keep your windows closed!) Recommend renting a car to get here so you can enjoy a scenic drive through the Alentejo and Algarve regions, (if coming from Evora, stop in Monsaraz enroute), or along the coast, taking a route through coastal villages. From Portimao, visit Salema and Lagos old town, which makes for a great day trip — it’s a short, pleasant drive with options for scenic detours (a must). In the other direction, check out Vila Real de Santo António bordering the Spanish coast. Ubers work too.

From the visually impressive main house to the comfort of our bedding, to the extraordinary dining experience at Vista, the Bela Vista creates an oasis of calm and pampering sensory stimulation that truly makes it a “beach house” of my dreams.

Amid the more touristy stretches of Portimão, this property stands out as a Belle Époque icon—elegant, timeless, and almost untouched by the modern bustle around it. From the moment you arrive, the impeccable service, refined ambience, and beautifully appointed rooms create a truly special experience. If possible, opt for a room in the main building with a sea view—it's well worth it. The views are stunning and add an extra layer of serenity to your stay. The Michelin-starred restaurant is another highlight, offering a dining experience that matches the setting in quality and charm. For us, this was one of the most memorable and exceptional places we've stayed in southern Portugal—a rare combination of history, luxury, and genuine hospitality.
