The Editory By The Sea Lagos Hotel
Lagos, Portugal · Editory · Near Luxury
Lagos got its newest five-star on 1 April 2025, a 63.8 million euro build by the Editory Collection on the headland above Ponta da Piedade. There are 204 rooms over nine floors, a heated indoor pool and an outdoor one, and a block of apartments alongside. The argument for staying here is the walking: ten minutes down to Praia Dona Ana, fifteen to the cove at Praia do Camilo, twenty to the sea caves at Ponta da Piedade and to the start of the Fishermen's Trail.

History
The Editory By The Sea Lagos is a new building rather than a conversion. Developed by the Editory Collection Hotels group, which is backed by the Portuguese retail group Sonae, it took roughly two years to build and almost five years from first plans to opening, at a reported cost of 63.8 million euros. It opened to guests on 1 April 2025 and was formally inaugurated on 6 June 2025, marking the group's move into southern Portugal. The complex holds 204 rooms across nine floors, a restaurant, two bars and a 120 square metre meeting room, with a separate block, The Editory Residence Lagos, offering one to three-bedroom serviced apartments with seasonal access to the hotel's services.
The setting
The hotel stands on the headland south of Lagos, between the town and Ponta da Piedade, the run of ochre sea stacks and grottoes that is the most photographed stretch of the Algarve coast. Praia Dona Ana is about ten minutes' walk downhill and Praia do Camilo, reached by a long wooden staircase, about fifteen. The Ponta da Piedade lighthouse and the boardwalks over the cliffs are roughly twenty minutes away, as is the northern trailhead of the Fishermen's Trail, the coastal branch of the Rota Vicentina. Lagos itself, walled, cobbled and heavy with the history of the Portuguese voyages, along with its marina, is a short drive or a longer walk north.
