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.

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.

Very clean, comfortable, and modern living quarters with new appliances including a washer/dryer, toaster, kettle, dishwasher, and Nespresso machine in our 1 bedroom villa. All the comforts of home that we could want and a perfect hub for exploring the Algarve with our toddler. Check-in/check-out was flawless and all the staff we encountered were very polite and helpful. Parking in a spacious garage is available, and there looked to be a couple of EV charging stations. Free reservations for bikes were also included in our stay although we didn't get a chance to try them out. The area is within walking distance to 2 beaches (you can get to the other one through a tunnel in the rock formation). Would stay here again for sure!

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.

Good stay

Very remote and calm place. Really enjoyed our stay. The only thing that is the food that needs working. We have ordered room service for dinner, which was quick but food that is being served is very very average. Both meat and fish. We have also had breakfast in the main restaurant and again not much to choose from, especially if you don’t eat pork.

Un séjour mémorable

Le meilleur hôtel que nous avons eu et ce de la réception à la sortie. Les appartements sont très propres, bien équipées. Nous sommes environ 8 minutes de marche de la mer. En plus facilité pour garer la voiture, ils possèdent un garage. Pour combler le tout, ils viennent vous reconduire à votre habitation en voiturette de golf. Que demander de plus.

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 -
