Beautiful, quiet resort close to beach.
Stayed 3 nights in May 2025

10/10

When we arrived in the Algarve we were ready to relax and this was the perfect way to end our Portugal vacation. Our suite backed onto the pool area which we enjoyed immensely. It was convenient to have the pool bar available as well. The suite was like a huge apartment that felt very fancy with so much space and many amenities. Amazing restaurants and the coast was a quick walk away. The Bengal caves were a short drive away which we visited. I would recommend this resort in a minute.

We had a truly wonderful stay at White Shell Beach Villas. From the moment we arrived, the staff made us feel welcome with their warm hospitality and helpful attitude. Our villa was spotless, beautifully maintained, and equipped with everything we needed for a comfortable stay. We especially enjoyed using the e-bikes to explore the area and get to the beach — they were both convenient and a lot of fun. Overall, it was a relaxing and memorable experience, and we would absolutely recommend White Shell Beach Villas to anyone looking for a peaceful beach getaway.

This is our second stay at White Shell. The units are spacious and well equipped but there is a pet fee which is per night (25€) rather than a flat cleaning fee. This can add up quite quickly if you are hoping to stay for more than a few days - which we found unusual for an aparthotel. This one of the reasons we will not return. The other is that the area around the hotel does not seem to be developing at all and other than the beach you will need to drive everywhere as there are few to no sidewalks -

We had a wonderful time. The staff were helpful, welcoming, and friendly. The facility was clean and safe.

Great resort, nice pools and very nice appartements, breakfast is good but not a lot of Daily variation, a walk of 10min to a beach or cliffs. To the city center is a very long walk.

Great place, the units were wonderful. Only comment would be more signs to the front desk, as it was a bit hard to find at first in the dark and rain.

It is a beautiful resort. The pool is beautiful and it is close to restaurants. The bikes were a great added bonus. My only issue is that housekeeping missed our room one night. But otherwise a beautiful relaxing resort in the Algarve.

Stayed a week just before high season started. The first thing that struck me about this place was the beautiful complex. There is a spacious indoor car park and the staff drive these cute little electric golf buggies around to help with luggage. The staff were great, very welcoming and the customer service was amazing. Then I noticed the swarm of sea gulls in the pool. In fact they were all over the sun loungers and on some apartment balconies. There’s droppings everywhere. I’ts clearly been a problem since this place opened. They have a man with a hawk to try to deter them but they keep coming back. This makes it a health and safety risk despite how often the pool is cleaned. The outdoor pool is also freezing cold. The indoor pool is smaller than it looks in the pictures, but it was a surprisingly very nice temperature. It’s full of young kids though, understandably because they don’t want to be in the outdoor pool. There should really be a rule about no kids after 7pm, so it can actually serve as a spa. The apartment was one of the best I’ve ever stayed in. The kitchen has everything! Modern high quality AEG appliances - an oven, microwave, hob, full fridge and freezer, even washing machine. Two things frustrated me - for a building constructed in 2021, there is not a usb port in site, so had to charge my phone very slowly from the tv. The TV - it’s astonishing no smart tv.

I just had the wonderful time staying at this family-friendly villa, and I cannot praise it enough. The environment is just gorgeous, providing a serene and picturesque setting that truly makes you feel like you're on a dream holiday. The staff at the villa are exceptionally friendly and professional. From the moment we arrived, they made us feel welcomed and attended to all our needs and they are always contactable by WhatsApp! Their warm hospitality and attention to detail truly elevated our stay, making it an unforgettable experience.

Resort type atmosphere. Great place to relax and central to the east and west in the Algarve. Pool was amazing. You do need a car to get around the Algarve if you are goi g to see other sites. There are beaches near the resort to walk to and one requires going down stairs.

Had a great time staying in this quiet resort. The villa was superb, lots of room and extremely well designed, with real attention to detail. Quality fittings and furnishings throughout, very impressive. The pool, spa and facilities were similarly delivered to a high standard. The reception staff were all very friendly and helpful. We stayed for two nights as part of a week touring around, would definitely have been able to stay longer. Happy to recommend.
