How do we rate a property?
We rate all our hotels, resorts, and lodges using our own bespoke grading system. We'll only invite a property into our collection once it's been assessed by one of our specialists. If it doesn't impress us, it doesn't make the cut.
From the quality of the food served in the restaurant to the amenities offered in each bedroom, we carefully rate each property to make sure it meets our high expectations.

About This Hotel
Set on the cliffs overlooking the beach of Praia da Rocha rests BELA VISTA Hotel & Spa.
Worries? Cares? What are those? In any case, any that may have existed will disappear as soon as BELA VISTA Hotel & Spa comes into view. Belonging to a Portuguese family since the 19th century, this historic boutique hotel’s original buildings have been beautifully renovated and transformed into a modern, stylish luxury destination set right on the beach of Praia da Rocha.
So where to first - the beach or the pool? The sight of a pool bar laden with enticing cocktails, delicious snacks, and friendly servers might help make up your mind: drinks now, sand later? Either way, you’ll be happy.
Three distinct houses make up BELA VISTA Hotel & Spa’s accommodations: the original, traditional hotel, the “Palacete”; the Blue House (Casa Azul) facing the beach of Praia da Rocha; and the Garden House, a delightfully designed building with 20 rooms featuring terraces or gardens. Traditional Portuguese sensibilities, modern comforts and design, and fantastic service combine to make this place sublime.
