The Alagoa Praia Norte is located just 800 metres from one of Alturas most enjoyable beaches. The apartment complex is also very conveniently situated for the Altura resort itself. It is just 200 metres from bars and local restaurants, as well as local gift, clothes and general supply shops. For exploring other places locally, there is a bus stop also located around 200 metres from the complex. In addition, there is a nightclub a few miles away, allowing access to some of the resorts more lively activities. Monte Gordo offers additional night life opportunities (such as a casino, and local themed events) if youre willing to travel a little further than Altura itself. The region is located close to the Spanish border (one or two hours drive) making short trips around the Seville region a possibility.

The complex has its own reception desk to help guests with key collection and delivery at the end of their time in the Algarve, as well as with money exchange and internet access. The complex is also surrounded by over 200 square metres of gardens and recreational space.

There is a swimming pool available to guests, along with sun loungers. The complex offers tennis courts for guests own use, and it is also possible to hire mountain bikes to get a different perspective of the region during your stay in the Algarve. The complex has its own caf bar, giving an alternative option to always preparing food yourself or to venturing out to one of the local restaurants or cafs.

Each room is equipped with satellite or cable television, with a range of local and world channels. There is also a safe located within each apartment. Rooms have their own shower room, so there is no need to share facilities with other guests, as in some older complexes. There is also a kitchenette in each apartment allowing guests to prepare their own food.
