Welcome to the Western Algarve
Why take your break here?
Bursting with sunshine and known for it’s laid back lifestyle, the Western Algarve is the perfect holiday destination to unwind and recharge with some deserved rest and recuperation. Wether you achieve this by exploring the fantastic culture and unspoilt countryside, chilling out and catching some waves at some of Europe’s most stunning beaches, or want to find adventure taking part in the endless outdoor activities on offer, the choice is yours.

You can find traditional coffee shops, bakers, fresh produce from local producers and artisan craftsmen all selling there wares. Don’t miss out on the local cuisine of this area either with a cataplana (fresh fish stew), barbaqued sardines and a Pastilla de nata for desert.
