About

Carvi Beach Hotel

Carvi Beach Hotel sits on the cliffs above Dona Ana Beach, one of the Algarve's most photographed stretches of sand. The outdoor pool faces the Atlantic, and the old town of Lagos is about a 10-minute walk away. This is a straightforward, well-run 3-star property that focuses on location and service.

Rooms are simple but clean, with balconies and air conditioning as standard. The hotel's restaurant and snack bar cover most dining needs, and the buffet breakfast is frequently praised. For active guests, there are windsurfing, diving, snorkelling, hiking and fishing opportunities nearby, plus a golf course within reach.
