About the Algarve

Welcome to the Algarve—where long, sun-drenched days and a relaxed pace of life come as standard. Along the shore, you’ll find a mix of seaside towns to suit every style, from upscale Vilamoura and family-friendly Albufeira to lively Alvor and characterful Lagos.
Whatever your holiday vibe, there’s plenty to choose from. Stretch out on Blue Flag beaches, tee off on world-class golf courses, explore charming old towns lined with traditional tiles, or make a splash at thrilling waterparks. And when the sun goes down, the Algarve doesn’t slow down—expect buzzing bars, welcoming Irish pubs and atmospheric restaurants that keep the good times going well into the night.
