General Information
Centre Algarve is mainland Europe’s only dedicated holiday centre designed to provide a range of facilities for people with special needs to enjoy. Careful thought and design was given to providing a holiday centre that is fun and totally accessible on the ground floor level to wheel chairs and special equipment. All doorways are a minimum of 90cm wide and have no steps or thresholds that need to be negotiated. The swimming pool has an immersible hoist with flat tabled bed, enabling access to the water by fully controllable means. Our 11,000 sq ft patio and tiled walking areas are wide and spacious again without steps or obstructions. We offer fully electric hoist covered hygiene rooms with wet room and sit-down showers with grab handles.
