Boasting plenty of natural light, thanks to the floor-to-ceiling windows, they offer the perfect setting in which to relax and unwind. All suites feature a large living room, bedroom and two bathrooms (bath and a walk-in shower). Macdonald Monchique Resort & Spa offers a range of gastronomic treats in its four restaurants.
