World's First All-Inclusive Tivoli Resort Opens in Algarve, Portugal

Dark/Light Mode (01/06/23)  Minor Hotels has expanded the Tivoli brand to the all-inclusive market with the opening of a property in Portugal.

The Tivoli Alvor Algarve Resort, the brand's first all-inclusive property, is located just 600 metres from the sea and close to the charming village of Alvor, with its whitewashed houses, cobbled streets and fishing boats moored along the banks of the Alvor River.

Surrounded by extensive green areas, the location is perfect for connecting with nature, making the most of the beaches nearby and discovering the local caves near Portimão and Lagos, such as the Benagil cave or the cliffs of Ponta da Piedade.

The city of Portimão with its museum, marina and nightlife is just a short distance away, and Faro Airport is approximately an hour's drive.

Built in 2019, the resort has reopened as Tivoli Alvor and today features 491 rooms spread over 27.5 acres, including 56 two-bedroom Premium Family Rooms and four Premium Suites.

There are five outdoor pools - one adults only, three for families and one for children - and one indoor pool, four restaurants, two bars and a Wellness Centre.

For adults, the resort offers a gym, a Wellness Centre with indoor lap pool, Turkish bath, saunas and spa treatments, a peaceful adults-only swimming pool and bars for an evening drink.

There is an entertainment programme just for adults and partner restaurants outside the resort where guests can dine as part of the all-inclusive experience. For golfers there are several courses close by.

Young guests, between 4 and 12 years old, can have fun in the Pluma Junior Club, making the most of its facilities including a swimming pool with slides, games room, children's playground and minigolf. The daily entertainment programme, full of games and challenges for the little ones, will keep children entertained, managed by a team of childcare experts. Teens can keep busy playing football, padel or tennis and join daily activities prepared specially for them.

Tivoli Alvor Algarve Resort offers two all-inclusive options, one standard and a more exclusive with extra premium services. Both allow guests to discover the best of the destination, with access for the family to a choice of local theme parks for one day per person included (with a minimum stay of seven nights): Zoo Marine, Slide & Splash or Lagos Zoo.

To explore the flavours of the region, the resort also offers the choice of dinner at a selection of local restaurants (included within the all-inclusive rate, subject to availability and booking 72 hours in advance), such as the renowned Restinga Praia (Praia do Alvor), the Àbabuja (Ribeira de Alvor), Jardim das Oliveiras (Monchique), T-Bone Steakhouse (NH Marina Portimão), Sky Bar Carvoeiro and The One Restaurant (both at Tivoli Carvoeiro), Pepper's Steakhouse, Oregano Restaurant and Purobeach Vilamoura (all located at Tivoli Marina Vilamoura).

The Premium All-inclusive rates also include check-in and check-out in the VIP area, minibar upgrade, breakfast in a dedicated area and a free 30-minute massage per adult/stay.

For an easy trip to the nearby sandy beaches or to Alvor village, the resort offers a regular complimentary miniature train transfer exclusively for guests.

The gastronomic offering at the resort includes options throughout the day. The Essenze restaurant is the meeting point for the whole family, with a buffet of international cuisine, available for breakfast, lunch and dinner, with a pleasant indoor area and a terrace.

For dinner there are three additional restaurants available by reservation. Carosello has an Italian-inspired menu, based on pasta and pizza, with a mix of buffet and à la carte service.

For meat lovers, Roastic is a steakhouse and Mad Med offers fresh Mediterranean flavours, organic ingredients and local produce including seafood.
