A sun-drenched food court terrace, three-level underground parking space, and a Jumbo hypermarket are the other superb aspects of the mall.

Aqua Portimao Shopping Center is a very prominent tourist destination in Portimao that contributes a lot to the demographic and economic growth of the city. Besides the collection of shops and eateries, what visitors also love about this mall is that hotels are only within a mile from the property. Globo Hotel and the Oasis Parque Country Club are two of the favorite hotels in the city as they don’t only provide easy access to the airport; they can also arrange airport transportation for guests. Another great choice in the area is Hotel Mirachoro Sol, which is close to various activity sites. Attractions are also not that far from these hotels. Close at hand is the Portimao Museum that exhibits the history and culture of the locals, as well as the 18-hole Golf Alamos that offers stunning views and an excellent test of golf. Meanwhile, in the neighboring town of Alvor, its gorgeous Alvor Beach and Tres Irmaos Beach are beautiful spots to enjoy the sunshine.
