Algarve Holidays

The Algarve stretches along the southern coast of Portugal and is a beautiful area in which to holiday. The Algarve combines the historic and traditional Portugal with friendly up-to-date resorts to cater for the modern-day holidaymakers that visit each year. The beaches this area are some of the best in Europe, many are Blue Flag beaches ensuring they are clean, safe and ideal for playing and relaxing on. The warm climate means it is an all year round holiday destination and attracts its fair share of golfers. You would be wrong however to think that golf is the only thing on offer in the Algarve as the area has many resorts that cater for the young and old alike, with much to offer in a picturesque setting. Albufeira, Portugal's most popular resort, has been described as a stretch of 'holiday-land suburbia', spreading from the old town both east and west along the coast, its sandy coves and golden beaches drawing an assorted crowd from retired couples to wild teens, and plenty of families with young children.

Holidays in the Algarve – A wide range of resorts

Albufeira The most famous resort in the Algarve. Visitors could easily believe that they're in one of the Costa's or in one of the more popular Mediterranean resorts. Albufeira is loud, full of people, packed with restaurants of every sort, and in the middle of a large number of apartment blocks, hotels and villas. It has minimal charm in the summer months and unless you're in the 18 - 30's market then our advice would be to stay well away. The infamous 'Strip' has almost every facility the younger set could ever want (bars, good food, disco's etc.) and all the associated noise and hassle that goes with it. The 'Strip' is about 1½ miles long from the north (Montechoro end) to the south (Praia da Oura end). Going straight on takes you down Cardiac hill to the Praia da Oura beach; right goes to Albufeira town. Tavira Situated at the eastern end of the Algarve Tavira was unaffected by the huge western boom in tourism. This means that Tavira has remained mostly unspoilt and is a great place to enjoy sun-baked days by the pool and on the beach. Its much quieter and with more traditional facilities in the west however its proximity to Spain offers a range of exciting day trips. More resort details can be seen here.
