Wherever you go on holiday to Portugal, you will be surrounded by bright colours, from the golden sands, to the crystal clear waters, the clear blue skies, the vivid green grass, and the white-washed walls of the buildings in the many old towns that share coastal space with the modern resorts.

A holiday to Portugal is perfect for all the family, groups of friends and even short romantic stays for couples.

A Country of Immense Natural Beauty

When you’re staying in the heart of the Algarve, one thing instantly hits you when you begin your break in Portugal, and that is the natural beauty.

A blanket of green is speckled by white-wash houses and decorated by the golden sand of the many beaches. This is a scene that stretches along the 100km of southern coastline that makes up the Algarve.

There is a sympathetic blend of the old and new to be found, all built into these picturesque settings. The cultural hub of the Algarve, Albufeira, is one of the best places to appreciate this. Whilst it has maintained much of its old town appeal, there has been plenty of investment in modern hotels and facilities too; just to provide a sprinkling of luxury.

There are many coves that populate the coastal area of the Algarve, these are ideal for snorkelling and scuba diving. The fishing culture that still exists in many of the local villages in the Algarve has created a boat trip culture.
