The Belavista da Luz – Wellness & Lifestyle Hotel has reopened its doors after an impressive three-million-euro makeover, and it’s ready to wow guests with a blend of modern comfort, style, and sustainability. Situated on the stunning Praia da Luz in the Algarve, this four-star gem is celebrating its 30th anniversary with a new look that caters to everyone from families to digital nomads seeking a perfect work-leisure balance.
A Modern Makeover
The renovation, which took eight months to complete, has truly transformed the hotel. Led by Konstrukaza and designed by the Architecture and Engineering Column, the update touches every part of the hotel. From the guest rooms and restaurant to the spa, gym, pools, bar, lobby, reception, and gardens, the entire space has been given a stylish, contemporary facelift. The goal was to modernise while also significantly enhancing the quality of services. A top-notch Wi-Fi system is now in place, ensuring that guests stay connected effortlessly.
Chic Rooms and Timeless Decor
Guests can choose from five beautifully revamped room types: Twin Vista Pool/Garden, Twin Vista Mar, Premium Vista Mar, Oceanfront Oasis, and Suite Vista Mar. Each room is now a luxurious haven with high-quality mattresses, Smart TVs, and Hospitality TVs. While the rooms have been updated for modern comfort, a few touches of traditional Portuguese decor, like classic tiles, have been lovingly preserved.
The rest of the hotel’s design is a harmonious mix of old and new, featuring calming colours and a comfortable atmosphere. The iconic terracotta facade remains, perfectly complementing the breathtaking views over Praia da Luz.
Delicious Dining and Wellness
Dining at the Terra-Mar Restaurant is now an exciting culinary experience, thanks to Chef Angelo Starnini. His menu highlights the best of local produce, with dishes like the Cataplana de Polvo, a true Algarve classic. The hotel’s organic garden contributes fresh, sustainable ingredients, reinforcing its commitment to eco-friendly practices.
The Bel’Acqua Spa offers a range of wellness treatments using Scens products, which are both organic and vegan. Guests can enjoy a sauna, jacuzzi, sensation shower, and a cutting-edge gym. One of the spa’s standout features is the new indoor pool, perfect for relaxation all year round. For those who love sports, there’s a high-quality padel court for friendly matches, and a wooden deck relaxation area for some peaceful downtime.
A Commitment to Sustainability
Belavista da Luz is leading the way in eco-friendly hospitality. The hotel has installed photovoltaic panels, implemented robust recycling practices, and set up electric vehicle charging stations. This dedication to sustainability is matched by their focus on providing genuine, personalised experiences for both local and international guests, with particular attention to visitors from the UK, Germany, France, Spain, the Nordic countries, and North America.
