Aqualuz, Troia

Resort
Aqualuz Troia is made up of three separate suite hotels. The Troiamar and Troiario are linked by a central section comprising the lobby area, restaurant, bar, lounge areas and Wellness Centre which are common to both hotels, as are the very large outdoor pool and children's pool.

The Troialagoa is set further back along the peninsula, about a 3-minute walk from the Troiamar and the Troiario and the beach and overlooking the lagoon within the peninsula, so a good location for bird watchers and nature lovers

Accommodation
325 air-conditioned units, all with a bathroom (bath and shower), hairdryer, lounge, kitchenette (electric stove and fridge), cable TV, telephone, cable Internet connection (payable locally), safe deposit box and covered balcony with chairs and ocean or river view. Some units are suitable for the disabled. 3 lifts, 15 floors

Area
Troia is located between the Sado Estuary Nature Reserve and the Arrabida National Park. This is an area of sand dunes and pines and long, white sand Atlantic beaches - some of the finest in Portugal - where even in August you can be on your own

Troia has important archaeological sites, dating from Roman times when the peninsula was, in fact, an island called Acala. Across the estuary lies the city of Setubal and a passenger and car ferry criss-crosses the estuary to link the peninsula with the city. It is easy to take the ferry, often seeing the resident dolphins en route, and spend the day wandering around Setubal and eating in one of the many harbour-front fish restaurants. The peninsula also boasts the Troiagolf Championship Course, one of the best golf courses in Portugal, designed by Robert Trent Jones Sr
