Arrivals at HS Milfontes Beach bring the coast into view straight away: the hotel stands on Avenida Marginal in Vila Nova de Milfontes, overlooking the Mira river bay, the Atlantic and Furnas beach. Most rooms look towards the sea or the pool, with the river and ocean shaping the outlook throughout a stay. The panoramic restaurant faces the Mira and serves a varied menu in a relaxed, family-style setting, giving groups a place to gather over a meal. At HS Bar, drinks come with views across the coastal landscape. Outside, the pool has sunny and shaded areas, loungers and beach beds; nearby, guests can arrange boat trips, kayaking, surfing or jeep outings.
