AP Adriana Beach Resort

Beside Falésia Beach in Albufeira, AP Adriana Beach Resort is an all-inclusive Algarve resort spread across 17 hectares, with direct access to the sand and 438 rooms set around its grounds. It suits a golf break where the playing can be arranged around unhurried days by the sea, with partner-course green fees, transfers, club hire and lessons handled through the golf desk. Between rounds, there are two adult outdoor pools, each with a poolside bar, loungers, parasols, gardens and a sun terrace. The resort also runs a chargeable shuttle to Albufeira and Vilamoura, while Faro Airport is among the nearby Algarve arrival points identified by the resort.

There is no resident course to dictate the itinerary, so the appeal lies in using the resort as a relaxed base while playing around the Algarve. Spare time can be spent with a casual game of mini golf or an hour on the tennis courts. Archery, football, basketball, beach volleyball and pétanque provide other ways to spend an afternoon without leaving the grounds. For a pre-round stretch or a session after the clubs are packed away, the guest gym has 20 machines and is open from 7am until 7pm.

Accommodation begins with 17 m² twin rooms and extends to a two-bedroom penthouse sleeping up to four. This larger option occupies the highest level of the main building and has a terrace looking across the resort towards the sea. Twin beds are provided throughout, with air conditioning, Wi-Fi, LCD television, a mini fridge and a balcony or terrace among the standard features. Some Twin and Twin Large rooms are positioned in a quieter garden setting beside the second pool, near the seasonal Grill and Celeiro restaurants and Tropicana Bar. The indoor pool opens daily from 10am to 6pm, with sauna, Turkish bath and jacuzzi access for guests aged 16 and over, while Elements SPA offers massages, facials and spa rituals.
