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

Quite hard to find.
Even harder to leave!

We are closed on Friday 13th September.

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.

People love Pool on the Hill

Gary Newell

Fantastic views, staff, food and drink. Highly reccomended. And its a pool on the Hill (self explanatory)

Rachel Baines

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!!!

Scott Flux

What a view ! Very welcoming and smiling people. We had a great time camping in our van near this place. Drinks and access to the pool is cheap and you fell like in a 5 star hôtel ! Gongratulation, you place is amazing !

Megan Ellerker

Such a lovely spot! There are toilets, changing room/shower room, a bar that serves food and drink (including alcohol), plenty of sunbeds, grass area, pool floats and balls, atmospheric music playing and friendly staff.

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).
