Situated overlooking the Atlantic Ocean and next to Vilamoura Marina in the Algarve region of southern Portugal, Tivoli Marina Vilamoura Algarve Resort reopened following an extensive redesign and refurbishment. The major revamp introduces a contemporary and sophisticated new look to all guestrooms, the entrance lobby and Argo Cocktail Bar, as well as newly landscaped gardens and a redesigned pool.

Tivoli Marina Vilamoura reopened after a four-month renovation with a new nautical and contemporary design inspired by Algarvian beaches, the marina and the Atlantic Ocean. In the 383 bedrooms and 21 suites, soft beige tones, striped fabrics and natural materials aim to reflect the views, creating a relaxed atmosphere and a perfect harmony between exterior scenery and interior design.

The 527-square-foot family rooms come with an exterior lounge area and terrace, combining wood with sand-colored textures and rattan finishes with sophisticated table lamps. The revamped Vilamoura Suite now includes the choice of a V.I.P. experience, such as dinner for two at Pepper’s Steakhouse with beverages; an 80-minute treatment at Tivoli Spa; or sun loungers for two at Purobeach, the adjoining beach club open April–October.

The lobby has been redesigned using a range of natural materials, with wood, fabrics and textures in neutral tones mixed with nautical blues. A large tropical garden in the center brings outside in and makes the space feel more intimate. Glee Boutique Café has also been given a makeover with a palette of natural tones, which complement the new look and feel of the lobby and better showcases the pastries, chocolates and colorful macarons.

Renewed Voyage restaurant, where breakfast is served, has a sophisticated French Riviera style, with vertical blue stripes, wooden chairs and bamboo details mixed with floral and geometric patterns, paying homage to the Moorish influences typical in the south of Portugal.

Argo Cocktail Bar is now more glamorous than ever, with richer tones, satin textures and golden details. The balcony, with a prime view over the marina, has new décor accentuating light woods and natural textures, just a step away from the hotel’s well-known restaurant, Pepper’s Steakhouse, specializing in the best cuts of meat accompanied by an impressive wine list.

The resort is well placed for easy access to Algarve beaches; boat tours; golf courses; walking trails at Ria Formosa Natural Park; and cultural discoveries in Loulé town with local artisans and its various arts like tile/dish painting, tapestry or basketry. Tivoli Marina Vilamoura also has the 25,833-square-foot Tivoli Spa, where guests can indulge in exclusive face and body therapies with local organic ingredients.
