Iberostar Selection Lagos Algarve

Iberostar Selection Lagos Algarve is a 5-star hotel with the kind of cool modern style that couples will love. Centred around a clifftop pool, there are magnificent views of the Atlantic Ocean, and the golden beach is the perfect playground for families.

You won’t be far from the centre of bustling Lagos when you stay here. Catch the train from the station outside and you’ll be discovering its ancient town walls, pretty harbour and fantastic nightlife in no time. In fact, the railway and the road are all that come between you and sandy Meia Praia. That’s right, one of the longest beaches in the Algarve is only 200m away! And if you’re planning to explore further afield, there’s parking available here for your hire car.

Not in the mood for sightseeing, sea or sand? Take your pick from the two outdoor swimming pools (one with a separate kids’ pool) or head to the spa for the ultimate in relaxation. You’ll be in heaven with a heated indoor pool, treatment cabins and other pampering details, such as a sauna and whirlpool.

For kids and teens, there are Star Camp clubs offering an awesome range of activities for ages 4-17 years. Think huge group art projects, exciting science experiments and tricky obstacle courses, as well as dancing, crafts and games.

The hotel also has a fitness room and runs aqua aerobics sessions in the pool. And as it’s right on the Algarve coast, you’ll be in a perfect spot for long walks by the sea, exploring coastal paths and discovering great beaches.

Of course, the Algarve is renowned as one of the best places in the world to play golf on holiday, and Iberostar Selection Lagos Algarve puts you in easy reach of several great courses. You’ll find Palmares, Buenas Vista and Espiche all within 10 kilometres - you can even book your tee times at the hotel’s 24-hour reception desk!

You can make the most of your location at mealtimes, too. The hotel’s restaurant specialises in Portuguese cuisine, so you can look forward to plenty of super-fresh seafood. Watch as your soberbio bacalao (traditional salted cod) is prepared at one of the live cooking stations, before taking your seat on the terrace to dine with that spectacular sea view stretching before you. Meals here are served buffet style, including any that are covered by your chosen board basis.

And for refreshments between meals and late into the night, head to the bar. If you opt for the all inclusive package, snacks and local drinks brands are included.

There’s room service, too, and it’s available 24 hours a day. Many of the double rooms and suites have sea views, so just imagine peaceful meals on your balcony, gazing out over the ocean! For an added touch of class, superior suites have a private pool (with sea views, naturally). Taking the kids? Give yourselves more space with garden view interconnecting double rooms, which are perfect for up to 4 adults and 2 children.

All room types have a minibar (not included), free wifi, tea and coffee facilities, separate bath and shower, a safe, plus a balcony or terrace. Not only that, they’re all free of single-use plastic as part of Iberostar’s Wave of Change programme for responsible tourism.
