Aldeamento da Prainha
Portugal, Europe
Alvor
Prainha Village is located by the sea, extending over 35ha area on the cliff, with direct access to the beautiful Três Irmãos beach through a lift, being the perfect hideaway for a family holiday, a trip with the friends, or just a relax getaway.
The Prainha Village consists of two accommodation areas: a first one, related to Prainha's first construction phase, consisting of small sets of 1 and 2-bedroom Apartments and 2 and 3-bedrooms villas, with no air conditioning, with a decoration and setup inspired in the Algarvian tradition and different from one another, implanted among gardens that allow you to take pleasant walks throughout the touristic village, without leaving the complex.
You will also have at your disposal a second area of accommodation, built at a later stage, consisting of 2-bedroom Townhouses and 3-bedroom villas with private pool. Equipped with air conditioning, these Townhouses and villas with private pool have a modern decoration and setting, with fully equipped kitchens with electric hob, oven, fridge, extractor fan, microwave, toaster, washing machine, dishwasher, and electric kettle.
This quiet resort stands out not only by the different accommodation options but also because of the wide range of services and equipment available for all ages, with 3 outdoor pools for adults and 2 for children, and a cliff-top outdoor pool, with breathtaking views over the Atlantic. On-site you will also find a supermarket (April-October) and 4 restaurants, including the renowned “Caniço” restaurant, embed in the cliffs.
Praia da Rocha and its nightlife is approx. 4 km away. Interesting places nearby include the historic city of Lagos (21 km), Caldas de Monchique (30 km), Slide and Splash waterpark (20 km) and Zoomarine (33 km). Faro Airport is approx. 65 km distance from the complex and Lisbon Airport is about 300 kilometers away.

Lovely stay in a beautiful resort
Lovely stay in a beautiful resort. The Atlantic pool in particular was beautifully landscaped with stunning views over the cliffs and sea. Great selection of restaurants and bars on site and also along the boardwalk towards Alvor. The townhouse we stayed in was clean, apart from the inevitable ants, and had most things needed for a self catering holiday.
The only things missing were a hairdryer and bottle opener so bring these with you. Also there is no luggage service offered so depending on where your accommodation is located on the resort be prepared to carry/drag your suitcases some distance.
Lovely family holiday
We stayed in a 2 bedroom townhouse, it was clean and spacious with a well equipped kitchen and lovely outdoor area overlooking one of the pools. The village is quite large so depending where you stay it could be a long walk with your luggage after checking in at the hotel reception. Only a short walk to the beach and the bus stops to travel into Alvor or Portimão but there are also plenty of places to eat and a small supermarket in the village. All the staff were very friendly and helpful and the resort was perfect for our two young children.
Beautiful location.
A beautiful and quiet location in April. We had a wonderful time. Enjoyed breakfast in the hotel twice during our stay. Due to it being quiet, some food was cooked to order. Also enjoyed Miss Pasta I agree with other reviews that charging for sunbeds seemed really silly - everyone was just sat on the grass next to them. The staff were all friendly and welcoming and the townhouse we stayed in was perfect. The complex is large but it has a lovely feel to it. We enjoyed walking back to our house via a different way each time!
Mrs.. D
I stayed here for a week with my sister… Booked through On the Beach We were given the keys to the apartment, given vague instructions on how to get there. No help whatsoever with luggage. Humping 20kilos suitcase and hand luggage. We are both in our 60’s We eventually found the apartment, after walking around in the heat covering 4.5 miles!! The apartment was horrible, nothing like the photos shown by OTB furniture old and tired, it was depressing. We left cases and returned to reception. Long story shortish, we asked to upgrade.. Given keys to 2 accommodations First was the same as original only 2 bed no door on washing machine… £309 to upgrade The next was a 2 bed townhouse. This was much more like the one we were expecting. £424 for this one. We took the townhouse. We ended up booking a taxi, at this point we had done 5.5 miles walking. The taxi picked us up at reception took us to pick cases up from original accommodation. Then took us to the new townhouse. Cost of 15 Euros. By this time it was dark🤦♀️ Taxi driver drove as far as he could. Then we had to try and find accommodation in the dark, lugging cases. I ended up sharing my bed with a colony of ants 🐜 I would not recommend this hotel. Or booking with On the Beach.
Such a shame
Such a shame, been coming here for 14 years on and off for golf and family breaks. The pool on the cliff top is my idea of heaven ! But now they have started charging €19 for 2 sun beds ! Such a rip off ! Used to be 2 for €7
The whole area seems to be run down they don’t seem to cut the grass any more !
Deffo a no go now !
