While I’d strongly advise on treating yourself to their signature massage, spa treatments on offer range from massages and facials to body scrubs and reflexology, all tailored to each visitor’s unique needs.
After your treatment, be sure to allow yourself time to unwind in the spa’s stunning pool before retiring to your room. Featuring dramatic floor to ceiling windows that overlook Victoria golf course, it’s an experience in itself.

Gym goers will be pleased to know that their state-of-the-art gym means you can maintain your workout schedule, with personal trainers available as needed, as well as pilates and yoga classes running on particular days.
Fly-and-flops aren’t for everyone, so those wary of feeling a little restless will also be glad to know that the concierge service is always on hand to organise experiences for guests, whether you want to be whisked away in a Tuk Tuk through Algarve, try your hand at local crafts, golfing or explore the nearby coastline.
Food
Once you’ve had your fill of the impressive breakfast buffet, laze in the sun until it’s time to indulge again and take your pick from their local seafood, Asian fusion and Italian offerings.
It’s clear that the team have taken the time to consider exactly what their guests might be craving at any given time. Sample regional delicacies such as cataplana or get your umami hit with an afternoon pizza by the pool, with even the fussiest of eaters being able to find something to their tastes. Nothing is ever too much trouble and friendly faces matched with sterling service make the experience all the more pleasant.
To sample the freshest seafood from the Algarve coast and Ria Formosa, Anantara’s poolside restaurant Ria is the ultimate way to round off a lazy day of sunbathing, with the catch of the day and beyond being served up by the waterside.
