Tivoli Carvoeiro Algarve Resort

Perched on seaside cliffs above the fishing village of Carvoeiro, this large resort sprawls along Portugal's southern Algarve coast with the kind of Atlantic views that make you cancel your return flight in your head. Rooms run pale wood and aquamarine, most with private balconies. Six restaurants and bars cover the bases, but the rooftop Sky Bar at sunset, with the rugged bluffs and beach laid out below, is the one everyone ends up talking about.
