With over 3,000 hours of sunshine per year and low average annual rainfall, the Algarve climate is the perfect golf destination and as a result is home to exclusive golf resorts renowned for golfing excellence.
There’s no shortage of high quality beaches. Golden sandy stretches as far as the eye can see, framed by rugged cliffs, virtually deserted islands marking the boundary between Ria Formosa and the sea, and small coves sheltered by the rocks. The ocean, in every shade of blue and mostly calm and warm, invites you for long swims and to indulge in the variety of water sports available.
There are also mountains, where people live in harmony with nature and maintain traditions that they love to share. Silves preserves traces of its Arab past and Lagos from the time of the Discoveries. More cosmopolitan Portimao and Albufeira are bustling towns by night and day. Tavira is a showcase for traditional architecture and Faro, the gateway to the region, deserves a long stop to discover its beautiful historic centre.
From glistening beaches to world class golf courses and Michelin starred restaurants, there is always something wonderful to be experienced.
