A coastline of dramatic cliffs, golden beaches, and timeless charm.
Portugal’s southernmost region, the Algarve, is a place where nature and culture meet under the sun. Known for its stunning coastlines, fresh seafood, and laid-back villages, it’s also home to hidden coves, Moorish architecture, and a vibrant local life beyond the beach. From the Atlantic breeze of the western tip to the calm waters near Spain, the Algarve offers diverse experiences — whether you’re chasing waves, serenity, or sophistication.
Lagos – A historic port town known for its charming old town, sea caves like Ponta da Piedade, and a rich Age of Discoveries heritage.
Faro – The region’s capital, with a walled historic center, Roman ruins, and the unique Chapel of Bones.
Tavira – A romantic town of tiled buildings, salt pans, and the Gilão River, known for its serenity and charm.
Sagres and Cape St. Vincent – The wild western edge of Europe, with dramatic cliffs, vast horizons, and maritime history.
Silves – Once the Moorish capital, with a red sandstone castle and a peaceful riverside setting.
Albufeira and Vilamoura – Bustling resort towns offering beaches, nightlife, golf, and marina life.
The Algarvians are open-hearted, sea-connected, and deeply proud of their land. Fishing traditions, village festivals, and warm welcomes are still part of daily life here. You’ll meet artisans making lace, basketry, or ceramics by hand, and locals eager to share a story, a recipe, or directions to their favorite beach.
In the Algarve, the sea sets the table. Its cuisine is simple but rich in flavor — always fresh, always seasonal.
Grilled sardines, octopus, or sea bass — caught the same day
Cataplana de marisco – A seafood stew cooked in a copper pot with white wine and herbs
Arroz de lingueirão – Razor clam rice with cilantro and lemon
Almond and fig desserts, like Dom Rodrigo and morgadinhos
Wines from the Algarve DOCs (Lagoa, Lagos, Portimão, Tavira) are gaining recognition — light, sunny whites and fruit-forward reds made in small family-run vineyards
The region is also a haven for food lovers, with Michelin-starred restaurants, rustic tascas, and elegant beach clubs offering diverse interpretations of southern Portuguese cuisine.

No parking stress, no rushing — just smooth, scenic, tailored travel.
From sunrise over the ocean to the scent of fig trees at dusk, the Algarve is a region to be savored slowly, in comfort, and with all five senses.
