Set into a cliff face, overlooking the golden sands of Albufeira beach, the modern Hotel Sol e Mar is situated 30 kilometres from the bustling city of Faro. The 74 air- conditioned guestrooms have modern decor in white with patterned fabrics in bright colours. All guestrooms open on to balconies with sea views and include satellite television, direct-dial phones, minibars, safes, radios and wireless Internet.
After a lavish buffet breakfast in the Sunrise Restaurant, guests can go for a dip in the indoor pool, cool off with a cone from the ice cream shop or catch the hotel lift down to the sandy Albufeira beach. In cooler weather, guests may watch television in the lounge or read a book from the library in the coffee bar. Golfers can book golf packages at the 24-hour front desk. In the evenings, after a Portuguese feast in the Sunset Restaurant, travellers can enjoy a cabaret or folklore show or party the night away in the festive Rainbow Bar. Nearby attractions include the weekly market in Loule and boat trips to the Algarve's beautiful sea grottos, both 10 kilometres away. Faro Airport is 35 kilometres from the hotel, with an approximate driving time of 30 minutes.
