Holidays to the Algarve are your ticket to one of the best coastlines in Europe – not to mention untouched fishing villages and A-grade golf courses.
Award-winning destination
The Algarve is a regular winner at the World Travel Awards – the travel industry’s answer to the Oscars. In fact, over the years, it’s taken home accolades for everything from its fabulous diving and great golf resorts to its top-of-the-range attractions and sweeping beaches.
Standout coastline
If there’s one category this part of Portugal really deserves gold for, it’s the beaches. Hidden coves, crescent-shaped bays and rocky inlets make up the Algarve’s coastline. Most of the pale sands are child-friendly, plus many come with Blue Flag credentials.
Popular Albufeira
When it comes to places to stay, Albufeira leads the pack. The Algarve’s largest holiday spot, it’s a tale of two resorts. Its new town has a lively strip of thumping nightclubs and open-air bars, while the old town is filled with cobbled squares, colourful market stalls and al fresco restaurants.
The best of the rest
Just down the road from Albufeira is Olhos d’Agua, a sleepy fishing village with cobbled lanes and traditional restaurants. On the beach, freshwater springs bubble through the sands and there are rock pools great for little ones. Finally, there’s Sao Rafael, which is famous for its dramatic rock formations and Blue Flag beach.
