Why Holiday in Algarve?
The Algarve has featured as a top popular holiday destination for many years. Perhaps the fact that Portugal benefits from a warm all year climate is one of the main attractions. Long sandy beaches adorn the coastlines and there is plenty of sightseeing to keep the active entertained. Plenty of airlines offer discounted flights to Faro, making the Algarve an accessible and very affordable destination for families.
So whether you prefer a restful beach holiday, lively nightlife or a villa retreat, Portugal is perfect. Choose from Albufeira, the most popular Algarve resorts or Vilamoura with its harbour front restaurants and new marina. For something more peaceful and relaxed, Gale is quietly developing into a lovely beach resort with seafront cafes and restaurants.
