HILTON VILAMOURA AS CASCATAS GOLF RESORT & SPA 5*

Set amongst some of the finest fairways in Europe, in between Pinhal Golf and Old Course, leisure facilities here are truly world class. Modern design and chic contemporary lines are the hallmark of this grand resort-style hotel. The spa has superb facilities; the most extensive range of treatments you could imagine and is Portugal’s largest. Then there is the equally well equipped Paradise Island, a children’s village that will be the envy of others.

Service is remarkably polished for a new hotel; breakfast is a gourmet experience and dining in the evening ranges from informal to lavish.

State of the art rooms with air-conditioning, oversized tub and walk-in shower, separated by glass partition with ‘modesty’ blinds. As standard, you will find comfy bathrobes, slippers, hairdryer, TV with pay movies, mini-bar, free safe, tea and coffee facilities and spacious balcony or terrace overlooking the gardens/ pool or fairways. Apartments have fully equipped kitchen and en suite for each bedroom, plus spacious sitting room/diner.

Guests in need of some rest and recuperation will appreciate the resort's exclusive Seven Spa complex, where you can experience fantastic health and beauty treatments, while the centre also has saunas, hydro massage pools, relaxation and jet pools. There are 6 outdoor swimming pools as well as a well-equipped fitness suite, while water sports include scuba diving, windsurfing and water-skiing.

The stunning Moscada restaurant is a fine dining room with an exquisite a la carte menu, and has a specialist live cooking area.

Try the fresh Portuguese and South American flavours in the stylish Cilantro restaurant.

The Rubi Bar is a sophisticated evening destination, where you can enjoy fine vintage port and superb malt whiskies, while the Aquarela restaurant is the poolside spot for a cocktail next to the cascades.
