Ancão Beach at Formosa Park Apartment Hotel

A mere 750 metre stroll from our luxurious hotel, guests will be met with stretches of golden sand and crystal clear waters known as Praia do Ancão. While parents stare in awe at the paradise before them, kids will already be running off to find the perfect beach base, explore sports activities on offer or dip their toes into the Atlantic Ocean. With the sea an average temperature of 20-23˚C during the summer, it's perfect for both splashing and swimming. You can also experience a heady mix of water-skiing, banana boat rides and pedalos.

As well as offering a fun-filled day out during an Algarve family holiday, Ancão beach can also boast a Blue Flag from the Foundation for Environmental Education. As one of around 3,500 beaches worldwide recognised for its outstanding facilities, parents can feel reassured when it comes to water quality, cleanliness and safety.

Regardless of calm seas, lifeguards will be present during the summer months, while the fact that it forms part of the protected Ria Formosa Nature Reserve will ensure the area will remain unspoilt. With a sought-after combination of stunning scenery and entertainment in an award-winning environment, parents can rest easy under their sunshades.
