Aqualuz

Setúbal

LoginSave

A short stroll from lovely Tróia beach, this resort offers 365 attractive modern apartments spread over three towers. Even the studios are massive and balconies overlook either the waterfront or the Arrábida mountains. The facilities are extensive, with a spa, restaurant, bar, indoor/outdoor pools and golf course. The cheapest rooms do not include breakfast.

It's a good choice for families who want to be near the beach, but you'll need to take the ferry back to Setúbal if you tire of the handful of marina restaurants.
