W Algarve is redefining how travellers experience Portugal’s southern coastline, positioning the region within a new era of design-led, experience-driven travel. Perched on a clifftop overlooking the Atlantic near Albufeira, the hotel pairs west-facing style with Mediterranean-inspired touches. The aesthetic draws on the Algarve’s coastal landscape and Moorish heritage, ensuring the property stands as a destination in its own right.

The prize offers a two-night stay for two, providing a sanctuary to unwind and view the ocean from a private balcony. The hotel moves from day to night, operating with W Hotels’ signature blend of music, design, and social energy. Guests can use the multi-tiered WET Deck infinity pool, attend sunset DJ sets, or participate in wellness sessions designed for the soul.

Dining plays a central role in the W Algarve experience. Paper Moon, serves Italian culinary excellence alongside panoramic views atop the resort. Beyond this, the hotel houses an array of venues: Market Kitchen celebrates regional flavours, VINO offers an intimate wine list curated by the sommelier, and the clifftop AIR bar serves as a spot for golden hour gatherings.

Active living and holistic indulgence are woven into the fabric of the resort. Guests can visit the AWAY® Spa complete or use the state-of-the-art FIT gym. For those seeking movement, the newly added tennis, padel, and pickleball courts offer options for matches under the Algarve sun.

Competition closes on 1 November 2026.
