Ponta Grande Resort is a particularly stunning 4-star complex just west of Albufeira. Beautifully situated between São Rafael and Castelo it looks right out at sea to its namesake – a large rock formation used for centuries as a guide by the local fishermen. The 60 villas in this complex are simply beautiful, spacious and luxurious; surrounded by lush gardens and tropic greenery most of the stylish townhouses overlook the large pool.
