Kimpton Beach Resort opens in southern Portugal: Travel weekly

Kimpton opened in São Rafael Beach in the first resort of Portugal, Kimpton Atlantico Algarve.

Kimpton said the luxurious lifestyle resort has 149 rooms and suites “inspired by the tranquil speed of Mediterranean views and coastal life.” The resort said Portuguese designer Nini Andrade Silva “mels the mood with natural texture and warmth, earthy tones, while smooth stone surfaces, airy linens, handmade ceramics and wood decorations will also blend together to create an interior that exudes the elegance of the ground.”
