Bringing their heartfelt philosophy and dedication to being the most luxurious of names, Domes have stamped their upscale look and deep-rooted values all over this Algarve gem. Here, contemporary rooms are inspired by the ecosystem of the resort’s private lake and feature verandas to maximise the panoramic views across either soothing gardens, nearby Vilamoura or over the lake to the sea beyond.

The resort presents a quartet of dining experiences encompassing the lavish seasonal buffets of Gustatio, the succulent seafood of Topos Restaurant, dishes accompanied by the ocean breeze at Sora Beach, and the Mediterranean specialities of Makris on The Lake, set on an anchored floating esplanade. For drinks with a difference head to Raw Gastro Bar, where cocktails share an ingredient with complimenting and eclectic bar snacks. Massages, sauna and steam room beckon in the SOMA Spa, a cool retreat with seventeen treatment rooms, hair studio and fitness centre. To complement the golfing, amenities include a multisport field, canoeing and three outdoor pools – one with a natural sand bottom. Within walking distance lie the Golden Sandy beach Praia da Falésia and the harbour of Vilamoura.
