Algarve Holiday Offers

Famous for its fantastic fresh fish restaurants, hot spicy piri-piri chicken, lively bars and unspoilt beaches it’s not hard to see why the Algarve remains a firm favourite year after year.

It still retains its upmarket, cosmopolitan reputation and with yacht-lined Marinas, an abundance of golf courses and the pretty cobbled streets of the fishing villages visit here you’ll quickly come to understand why it appeals to stars such as Madonna who adores the luxury hotels, and Sir Cliff Richard, who owns a vineyard here. Car hire really is a must if you visit this region as lots of the accommodation, especially the villa properties, can be a little off the beaten track, and if you want to discover one of the many deserted coves or maybe challenge the famous 9th hole at “The Devils Parlour” then it really is a must.

Less than 3 hours on a plane, it’s the ideal choice for that family holiday, with attractions like zoomarina where the sea lions happily perform their crazy antics to the breathtaking elegance of the dolphins shooting high out of the water, showing off to the crowd or maybe for the more adventuras the fun of splashing around the wavepool int the waterpark would be more appealing. For that romantic weekend break visit the Moorish arches of the old town in Albufeira or relaxing on fishermans beach. For the young at heart the Strip has to be top of your list with a huge choice of restaurants, a long street of lively bars and shops open ‘til late into the evening. You can see why this area lives up to its reputation.
