The Bricia du Mar Hotel Rural, now under the expert management of the renowned Carvoeiro Clube Group, is winning hearts and creating lasting memories for discerning travellers who appreciate first-class quality without the premium price tag.

The hotel's growing reputation was beautifully showcased in late June when it hosted an intimate gathering for some 80 people, including property owners and business partners of the Carvoeiro Clube Group. The afternoon perfectly captured what makes Bricia du Mar special – exceptional hospitality in a beautiful setting. Guests were treated to exquisite finger food crafted by Chef Vítor Bernardo and his talented team, known throughout the region for their work at the beloved Trattoria Oliveira in Quinta do Paraiso. The sophisticated ambiance was enhanced by the smooth, jazzy saxophone melodies of Luis Raposo, creating an atmosphere that demonstrated the hotel's commitment to memorable experiences.

What sets Bricia du Mar apart is its enviable location on the outskirts of charming Ferragudo, providing guests with unparalleled access to some of the Algarve's most breathtaking beaches. Within moments, visitors can discover the pristine sands of Praia do Molhe, Pintadinho, Caneiros and Ferragudo's magnificent Praia Grande. The picturesque fishing village of Ferragudo itself remains a favourite among Algarve connoisseurs, celebrated for its authentic atmosphere and exceptional seafood restaurants.

Since opening in April 2022, the hotel has thoughtfully curated an impressive array of amenities across its 59 bright, spacious rooms and studios. Two on-site restaurants serve traditional, seasonal cuisine at refreshingly reasonable prices, while the pool bar offers light snacks and refreshing cocktails. The inviting gym and spa, open to both guests and the public, reflects the hotel's commitment to community engagement.

Under the Carvoeiro Clube Group's stewardship since January 2025, Bricia du Mar benefits from decades of hospitality expertise. Established in 1982, the group manages over 500 accommodations across the central Algarve and has built a solid reputation for quality and reliability.

A final detail well worth mentioning is Bricia du Mar’s exceptional staff. It is not unusual that guests notice a genuine warmth and professional dedication, ensuring everyone feels valued and cared for. Combined with the hotel's Mediterranean flair, modern conveniences and strategic location, it's clear why this relatively new property has become a preferred choice for Portugal enthusiasts seeking superior quality at attractive rates.

For those in the know, Bricia du Mar Hotel Rural represents the Algarve experience at its finest – authentic and welcoming, affordable – and possibly unforgettable.
