PORTUGAL | Kimpton has announced the opening of the brand's first property in Portugal, Kimpton Atlântico Algarve, located in the sands of São Rafael Beach.
Kimpton, part of IHG Hotels & Resorts’ luxury and lifestyle portfolio, has opened Kimpton Atlântico Algarve, the brand’s first resort in Portugal and a chic new gem in its ever-growing global collection.
Perched on the golden sands of São Rafael Beach, Kimpton Atlântico Algarve blends the brand’s bold, design-led identity with the relaxed spirit of southern Portugal. The resort delivers a refined take on local luxury through elevated dining, wellness and curated experiences. Just a stone's throw away, the vibrant town of Albufeira, known for its golden beaches, lively nightlife and charming Old Town, also awaits guests.
The luxury lifestyle resort features 149 thoughtfully designed rooms and suites, inspired by the Mediterranean landscape and the tranquil pace of coastal life. Renowned Portuguese designer Nini Andrade Silva brings her signature aesthetic to the resort under the project management of LUCID Development Group. Natural textures and warm, earthy tones set the mood, while smooth stone surfaces, airy linens, handcrafted ceramics and timber accents come together to create interiors that evoke grounded elegance.
"At Kimpton, we invite guests to enjoy something truly unexpected - a stay that invigorates the soul and leaves them feeling energised,” said Catarina Simões.
“From bold design, vibrant flavours and immersive moments, we offer a new kind of luxury that’s both sophisticated and playful. Every detail at Kimpton Atlântico Algarve is thoughtfully curated to celebrate our guests, from locally inspired dining to warm, intuitive service and more. We are looking forward to bringing a fresh expression of luxury to Portugal’s south coast – one that celebrates both place and people.”
Guests at Kimpton Atlântico Algarve can also enjoy treatments at its premier Wellness Hub. Extending over 1,800 sqm, the hub is a wellness sanctuary for rejuvenation with a heated indoor pool, a hydroactive spa circuit with a flotation tank, jacuzzi, sauna, Turkish baths and a cutting-edge gym. The Wellness Hub also features a selection of personalised massages and therapy sessions to promote holistic wellness, helping visitors unwind and regain balance.
Just like all Kimpton hotels, Kimpton Atlântico Algarve welcomes pets at no extra charge. Guests can also take full advantage of the hotel’s "Forgot It? We’ve Got It!" programme, offering a curated selection of essential items - from humidifiers to curling irons – on a complimentary basis throughout their stay. In keeping with Kimpton’s community-driven ethos, the hotel also hosts the brand’s signature Kimpton evening Social Hour, where guests are invited to gather to enjoy complimentary drinks and connect with fellow travellers.
