Estrela da Luz, the resort :
The apartment is part of the brand new Estrela da Luz resort built by Oceanico. All that you need for a great holiday is available in the resort but there is so much more to see and do in the village of Luz, nearby Lagos and greater costal region of the western Algave.
There are 3 pools, one for adults, a family pool and an indoor pool. There is a kids pool also. The Hugo Beatty bar and cafe is great for lunch and evening drinks. The poolside bar is open all day too for snacks and drinks. The Calabaza restaurant is excellent for evening dinner with a great mix of cuisine.
There is a kids club during the summer which has been a great success and keeps the kids active and amused with activities for all ages. The kids club is separate from the pools/gardens so the resort is great for those without kids too with plenty of peaceful areas.
Other facilities at Estrela da Luz:
The Elemis Health and Beauty spa is excellent with great staff and a range of treatments. The other indoor facilities at Estrela da Luz are what makes this an ideal location for winter or spring/Autumn trips. The indoor heated pool, Jacuzzi, saunas are great, and the gym is state of the art.
The reception staff are very helpful and can organise activities such as golf, horse riding, etc at discount rates.
There is a shuttle bus which runs from the resort to Lagos, Meia Praia, and the 2 main local golf clubs Boavista and Palmares. Luz is an ideal location if you play golf with 3 excellent courses within 30 minutes and many more beyond.
Luz and Lagos:
The Estrela da Luz resort is located right in the beachside village of Luz and so everything is on your doorstep - restaurants, bars, shops and of course the beach is within 200m.
The Praia da Luz beach is a beautiful sandy bay shaded by cliffs to the east and smooth rock outcrop to the west. Great waves for body boarding and plenty of restaurants and cafes within easy reach. The village itself is an old fishing village which has retained its old style charm. The atmosphere is always relaxed and the locals are very hospitable. There is a great selection of restaurants with seafood and other specialities.
The port town of Lagos is just 10 minutes drive away (€6 taxi) with its marina and old town centre which has a huge variety of shops, restaurants and bars. Lagos is lively and great to visit at night for food, drink and a stroll through the cobble streets. The shops are great for presents and souvenirs especially local ceramics and jewellery.
