Days out from the villa

Praia da Luz

On your doorstep

Your home for the week is a relaxed former fishing village with a Blue Flag sandy beach, a palm-lined promenade and a great choice of cafés, bars and restaurants, all a 15-minute stroll from the villa. The dramatic headland of Rocha Negra frames the eastern end of the bay, with lovely clifftop walks in both directions.

Lagos

8 minutes by car

One of the Algarve's most charming historic towns, with cobbled streets inside old city walls, a lively marina, superb restaurants and the famous golden cliffs and sea caves of Ponta da Piedade. Boat trips, kayaking, and the sweeping 5km sands of Meia Praia are all on hand.

Sagres

30 minutes by car

Wild, windswept and unforgettable, this is mainland Europe's most south-westerly point. Explore the clifftop fortress, watch the surfers at Tonel beach, and stand beneath the lighthouse at Cape St Vincent where the land finally runs out into the Atlantic. The sunsets here are something special.

Portimão

30 minutes by car

The Algarve's second-largest town, home to the huge golden beach of Praia da Rocha and a riverside famous for its sardine restaurants. Petrol-heads should look out for race days at the Autódromo Internacional do Algarve, and the marina is the starting point for coastal cruises and dolphin-watching trips.

Silves

40 minutes by car

Head inland through orange groves to the Algarve's former Moorish capital, crowned by a magnificent red sandstone castle. Wander the old town's steep streets, visit the Gothic cathedral, and enjoy a long lunch by the river. It makes a lovely change of pace from the coast.

Vilamoura

1 hour by car

A glamorous day out to the east, with one of Europe's largest marinas ringed with restaurants and bars, world-class golf courses, a casino and long sandy beaches. Perfect for a spot of people-watching over a late lunch.
