Pool & outdoors

Sunbeds and parasols line the spacious terraces, and pool towels are available with a refundable deposit.

The headline act is Jupiter Aqua Park, included for hotel guests and featuring six waterslides and chutes plus a separate splash park with tipping bucket, sprinklers and spouts (usually open 10:00–18:00). Age, height or weight restrictions may apply on certain slides.

Although the property isn’t directly on the beach, Albufeira’s gorgeous golden sand bays are just a short shuttle ride away, giving you easy access to the coastline when you fancy a change of scene.

Wellness‑minded guests are covered with the Soul Spa, where you’ll find a heated water circuit, sauna, steam room, whirlpool and a menu of massages and beauty treatments (charges apply; generally 16+). There’s even a Kids Spa Circuit at set times so younger guests can enjoy supervised splashing in a calmer space.

The 24‑hour air‑conditioned gym is well equipped with cardio machines, free weights, a stretching zone and fixed strength equipment (minimum age 16 years). Organised activities can include aerobics, aqua aerobics, dance classes, darts, football, table tennis, volleyball, yoga and more, with some activities or equipment (like tennis, snooker or trampolining) carrying a local charge.
