Pestana Viking sits apart from the town bustle on the clifftop at Armação de Pêra's western edge, where the coast turns toward Porches and the Senhora da Rocha headland. Grand gardens of palm and lawn wrap the resort on three sides and lead down toward the sea, with the celebrated little cove and clifftop chapel of Senhora da Rocha only a couple of minutes' walk away.
Rooms look over the sea or the gardens, each with a balcony, and the resort runs full-board friendly with an indoor wellness area — heated pool, Turkish bath, jacuzzi, gym and spa — alongside the outdoor pools. It is built for an unhurried, self-contained beach holiday, with the centre of Armação a short drive east when you want the harbour and the restaurants.
For garden calm and the prettiest cove on this stretch, it is the pick.
