Aqualuz Lagos sits in Lagos, in Portugal’s Algarve, close to the marina, coastal beaches and sea caves explored on boat trips. Its setting makes it easy to add time on the water to an offsite, with local activities ranging from kayaking and windsurfing to diving and guided boat excursions. The hotel has a distinctly summery, family-minded character: a workday can give way to the outdoor pools, then dinner at La Terrazza. The restaurant draws on Portuguese cooking and seasonal produce from local suppliers; bars, a Health Club and a games room are also on site. Meetings can be held in the hotel’s four meeting rooms.
