The Magnolia Hotel

Located in Portugal

New for the 2026 season, The Magnolia Hotel brings boutique charm and Palm Springs flair to Portugal’s sun-drenched south coast. Perfectly positioned on the doorstep of Quinta do Lago, this vibrant retreat offers families the chance to relax, recharge, and explore one of the Algarve’s most exciting destinations.

With vintage motor-hotel style and a playful energy throughout, The Magnolia Hotel sets the scene for unforgettable family holidays. From pool days and colourful dining to evening cinema nights and live music, the atmosphere is fun, welcoming, and made for making memories. Children can dive into game nights, dance camps, and junior golf, while parents unwind in the spa, keep active at the gym, or savour the Algarve sunshine with a chilled drink by the pool.

Spend the day together building sandcastles on the beach, exploring the local dining scene, or taking in the charm of the Algarve – every moment is a chance to connect and create lasting memories.

Tee off on world-class golf courses, take in the Ria Formosa’s natural beauty on family bike rides, or head to The Campus – a state-of-the-art sports hub and the home of our football courses, where guests of all ages can enjoy tennis, padel, cycling, fitness, and more.

With stylish rooms, spacious family cottages, and thoughtful touches like 300-thread count linens, super fast WiFi, and vibrant interiors, The Magnolia Hotel is more than just a place to stay – it’s where your Algarve adventure begins.
