Pool on the Hill – Quite hard to find, even harder to leave!

Far above the crowds below, its blue waters basking under the heat of the Portuguese sun, with great views stretching across Albufeira’s Old Town, Fisherman’s Harbour and Albufeira Marina, sits local legend and total suntrap Pool On The Hill, the perfect alternative to the sands below.

A favourite with holidaymakers-in-the-know for over 30 years, Pool On The Hill is a sunbaked gem, with a well-earned reputation for being worth the effort to get there. Dive into the cooling waters of the pool, stretch out on a sunbed, enjoy food and drinks from Owen’s Ocean View Bar. With chilled beats filling the air, this is a unique poolside relaxation done right. Whether for one day, during your week’s holiday, or the entire season, ensure your spot in the sun with our easy-to-use online booking form below.

Fabulous place. Lovely clean pool with great views. And Pete is a great host. Would highly recommend to anyone looking for a nice chilled day in the sunshine

Eva Nedeliaková

Wonderful personal, speaking fluent English and utmost helpful. Toilets were clean and so was the pool. Drinks, food and the entrance were cheap. There were almost no people there, so it was very private and the views were pleasant 🙂 I would recommend to everyone!!!

We’ve enjoyed the afternoon with the kids. Very nice people, cool and clean pool, lots of things for the kids to have fun and good drinks and atmosphere. It was a great spot!

Gorgeous pool in a lovely and quiet area, the cocktails were fantastic and the staff were very friendly. Pool use plus a sun bed is inexpensive (around €7pp depending on the time of day).
