The Algarve is, above all, a paradise of beaches, cliffs, and dazzling sunsets. Bathed by the Atlantic and with a refreshing sea breeze, this southern corner of Portugal attracts travellers each year in search of sun, nature, and excellent cuisine. It's a place where days are serene yet full of possibilities: golf, surfing, boat trips... A destination you'll want to return to, time and time again.
"The Algarve is sun, sea, and serenity. An Atlantic haven you’ll always want to return to."
The Algarve combines golden sandy beaches, quaint fishing villages, and charming towns. From lively Albufeira to historic Lagos, and the region's capital, Faro, there’s an Algarve for every type of traveller. All this, coupled with a warm climate and the refreshing Atlantic breeze, makes it irresistible.
Renting an apartment in the Algarve offers complete freedom to explore its coastal landscapes, hidden coves, and seafaring towns. It’s also a comfortable and affordable choice for families, couples, or groups of friends looking for spacious accommodation with a local touch.
With an apartment rental, you can start your day with a coffee overlooking the Atlantic. From there, the choice is yours: breathtaking cliffs on the Vicentine coast, a swim at the famous Praia da Marinha, or a visit to the Sagres Fortress, at the southwestern tip of Europe. And as evening falls, there’s nothing like returning to your “temporary home” to enjoy the Algarve at your own pace.
The Algarve is also a culinary delight. Dishes such as the famous cataplana, grilled sardines, or hearty fish stews highlight the region’s fishing heritage. To accompany these, try Portuguese wine (or a refreshing cervejinha). Here, the cuisine combines ocean freshness with inland traditions.
The best way to enjoy it? Blend in with the locals: visit fish markets in Portimão or Loulé, sample almond or fig sweets... or simply relax on a terrace overlooking the Atlantic! Great food and a welcoming atmosphere — that’s the Algarve.
Life moves at an unhurried pace in the Algarve. Its long, sunny days invite exploration of iconic spots such as the old town of Faro, with its ancient walls and youthful vibe, or elegant Tavira, crisscrossed by the Gilão River. Inland, you’ll find tranquil villages and the essence of rural Portugal.
For nature enthusiasts, there’s the Ria Formosa Natural Park, a gem for birdwatchers and anyone who appreciates unique landscapes. And if surfing or windsurfing is your thing, the western coast will challenge you with waves and winds that attract athletes from around the globe.
The Algarve is well-connected to the rest of Portugal, making it an excellent starting point for exploring beyond its coastal borders. If you’re keen to visit the capital, Lisbon is just a couple of hours away by car or train, offering a cosmopolitan vibe and historic neighbourhoods.
