Most outdoor pools in the Algarve sit unheated and can sometimes be quite the challenge to get into as you attempt a freezing mass of water in the height of summer. Eden’s pool is different. It’s heated, saltwater, and sits at around 29 to 30 degrees year-round – which means it’s genuinely swimmable in April, comfortable in May and, during summer, it is the exact temperature you want to be in when the air temperature is doing what the Algarve air temperature does.
The saltwater element isn’t just a nice-to-have. Saltwater pools are gentler on skin and many people find them more restorative to swim in. Plus the bubbles from the jacuzzi and the cascading waterfall become a unique surprise to those who visit Eden’s pool in the heart of it’s Tropical Mini Golf Gardens.
Half-day access starts at €18 for adults, including a sunbed — which is straightforward pricing for a full afternoon in warm water in the Algarve. Full day is €27 for adults. For kids, it’s €12 for a half day and €18 for a full day; under-5s go in free. Half-day sessions split into 10am–2pm and 2pm–6pm, so there’s flexibility around when you go without needing to commit to an entire day.
The pool area also has the option to book a massage on-site, which is worth knowing about before you arrive and find yourself wanting one after your first twenty minutes floating around.
One thing worth mentioning: Eden made the decision to welcome families and children at the pool, which means it isn’t an adults-only spa experience. It’s a genuinely warm, well-maintained, lovely pool where you can spend a few hours and where the whole family can come.
