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.

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 -

Great for family!

I just had the wonderful time staying at this family-friendly villa, and I cannot praise it enough. The environment is just gorgeous, providing a serene and picturesque setting that truly makes you feel like you're on a dream holiday. The staff at the villa are exceptionally friendly and professional. From the moment we arrived, they made us feel welcomed and attended to all our needs and they are always contactable by WhatsApp! Their warm hospitality and attention to detail truly elevated our stay, making it an unforgettable experience.

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.

Gut ist das die Unterkunft neu ist: aber man hat weite Wege. Leider auch keine hohen Palmen, die Schatten spenden. Das Frühstück war eintönig, jeden Tag das Gleiche. Das Personal war nett. Wir fanden aber unpraktisch das man für Spülmaschinen Taps zur Rezeption gehen muss. Zimmerreinigung erst um 16:00! wir würden nicht nochmal dort buchen. Bett sehr hart, auch die Terrassenmöbel, kein Sonnenschirm.

We were over the moon with the facility. The concierges were so helpful with dining and shopping suggestions. The food at the restaurant may be the best we have had in years!! The room was perfect with a washing machine we didn't even use, but would have if needed. The beach is a short distance away and it's incredible! There are actually two separate areas with a tunnel in between....so fun, so beautiful and amazing. The pool and jacuzzi at the facility were amazing. I really should call it a resort! We would gladly stay there again in a heartbeat!!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at White Shell Beach Villas. The reception staff were friendly and welcoming throughout, responding promptly to any queries we had and being very accommodating to all our needs. The resort was extremely family friendly, and we were provided with a high chair for meals and a travel cot for our young daughter. The facilities and service were excellent, with a spacious villa which was consistently cleaned to a high standard. The pool facilities were also impressive, providing a relaxing, ambient environment. We would highly recommend White Shell Beach Villas to anyone visiting the Algarve, and we hope to visit again in future!

Es war eher wie ein Appartment Villa, sauber, Küche Waschmaschine Spülmaschine 👍, Balkon war nicht gepflegt ohne Pflanzen, erster Tag gab es nur 1Trinkflasche Wasser und 4Kaffeetabs (wir waren 4Personen!)Wasser und Kaffee sollte jeden Tag aufgefüllt werden meiner Meinung bei dem Preis/Leistungsverhältnis. Badetücher durfte man nicht täglich wechseln bei der Rezeption, da man Waschmaschine ja im Zimmer habe, aber bis zum nächsten Morgen wirds nicht trocken leider.Frühstück sehr minimalistisch sehr wenig Auswahl und in Miniportionen geteilt (Frühstück inkl.)Spiegelei/Rührei und Champignons waren gut. Am Anfang waren viele Familien mit Kindern, Pool war okey, Massage war okey. Sehr ruhige Gegend -Auto mieten war eine sehr gute Idee, der nächste Strand war okey. Abendessen war hervorragend richtig Gourmet Style 👌Kostet extra natürlich). Sonst Personal sehr zurückhaltend aber nett.
