Spread over pine-sprinkled shores, it’s as if the Riu Guarana has taken all the best bits of the Algarve. Cue rugged, sandy-red cliffs, tall umbrella pines and a long sandy beach – reached by long flights of stairs cut into the cliffs. The setting is tranquil, too. You’re just a kilometre from Olhos d’Agua and a 15-minute cab ride from Albufeira, but with the hotel gardens and sea views, you could be miles from anywhere.
