From time to time we like to show you around one of Portugal's best and most unique hotels, and today's hotel is certainly unique. This time, we're off to some pet-friendly accommodation in the Algarve, perfect for leaving your pets during the summer holiday period. "Hotel do Cão", in the Algarve, has the capacity to house 100 animals and offers unique amenities: private beach, spa and various activities to amuse four-legged friends. Let's have a closer look at this pet-friendly hotel in the Algarve with a private beach for dogs.
The air-conditioned 'suites' of the "Hotel do Cão" are individual and have a surface area of 10m2 with indoor and outdoor areas. The hotel also offers veterinary nursing, transport, training, dog-walking, 24-hour surveillance and the outdoor spaces with grassy parks are one of its selling points. In addition, it has the only private beach for dogs in Portugal in a tropical environment.
The private beach for dogs can also be used by those who are not staying - it is a space where dogs swim, play and enjoy physical exercise, in the company of the team of handlers. It is open 365 days a year, extending the bathing season to any time of the year. For more dog-friendly beaches in Portugal, check out our guide.
"Our aim was to humanise the hotel, because more and more people see their animals as members of the family," says the general director of the accommodation, Miguel Maia Costa, quoted in a statement.
