Good spas in the Algarve

[Annabel]

I am looking for a good spa in the Algarve where I will be able to go for a 'pamper day'. Can anyone recommend any? I am looking for somewhere very luxurious as it is a special occasion! Thank you!

I haven't been there but the obvious choice would be Caldas de Monchique - see the following:

Thank you, does anyone have any experience of the Longevity Wellness Resort in Monchique? From my research it looks good but I would appreciate some extra feedback on it!

Hi. Please refer to Gaynors post "Spa Day for the Elderly wanted" further down the General listings

I have heard that the one on the road to Monchique is quiet expensive, also the outside area is right by the road, I wouldn't want to go there!
This one I have been to and it is lovely - http://suitesalbaresort.com/index.asp?idioma=eng
