What to expect
Kimpton Atlântico Algarve is the current hotel at São Rafael formerly known as São Rafael Atlântico. It combines rooms and suites with Mediterranean-style gardens and a direct route to São Rafael Beach, so the main appeal is the coastal setting rather than an old-town address.
The Wellness Hub and rooftop bar give the stay a wellness and social dimension alongside the beach. It is useful for travellers who want a full hotel with dining and facilities in one place, while retaining access to Albufeira’s marina, restaurants and outings by a separate local journey.
- Also known as
- São Rafael Atlântico · NAU São Rafael Atlântico
Planning your stay
- Older maps and travel material may use São Rafael Atlântico; this is the same hotel under its current Kimpton name.
- São Rafael is west of Albufeira old town, not the central town beach.
