Algarve, Portugal Holidays
The Algarve is spoilt for beaches, its 100 miles of coastline offering a mix of golden stretches of Blue Flag beaches and hidden coves. It’s an ideal spot for a family break, sandy beaches for the little ones and outdoor sports action for the older ones. Take fun in the sun to the next level, with kids’ pools, water parks, and playgrounds too. Come and watch the dolphins in the Algarve in Albufeira or Lagos or enjoy a full-day Jeep safari tour in Portimao, or go on a sea kayaking adventure in Sagres, it’s all there to be enjoyed.
Portugal is officially one of the sunniest countries in the world, and at the height of the summer visitors to the Algarve can expect eleven hours of daily sunshine with temperatures rising to 28C. Even in October, you are likely to enjoy bright weather seven hours of sun daily with a high of 22C.
Whether you opt for beach bars, casual family meals or gourmet cuisine, you will be delighted with both indoor and al fresco dining options and varied menus to suit the palates of all the members of the family.

Most golf courses are around thirty minutes from Faro airport, around Quinta do Lago and Vilamoura Marina. There are also hidden treasures yet to be discovered, both to the West along the rocky coast and all the way to Sagres, as well as to the quieter East, among whitewashed villages and globally recognised natural reserves full of wildlife.
