Algarve villas in Sagres
In the town of Sagres which is located on the western tip of the Algarve, some 25 kilometres from Lagos, the beaches are long and quite quiet. It is a favourite haunt for surfers and other adrenaline junkies and wetsuits rather than swimming trunks are “de rigueur”. It is ideal for those wishing to rent their Algarve villas, close to the action.
Algarve villas in Lagos
Moving eastwards to Lagos and the beaches are a little more popular. Many of the smaller, more intimate ones can only be reached by rough staircases hewn into the rocks but the journey is certainly worthwhile. The waters are calmer and a lovely azure blue, fringed by golden sands which are backed by high, craggy rock faces offering some protection from the wind. A word of warning, here you can bake! The beaches are sun traps and with the rocks keeping the winds at bay, it gets very hot. Algarve villas here benefit from stunning beach views with the added bonus of calm blue waters.
Algarve villas in Portimao and Albufeira
Further east to Portimao and Albufeira and this is where the action really heats up. This is the area known as central Algarve or more specifically, coastal central Algarve. Algarve villas here are in constant demand and for all the right reasons. Cheaper than the golfing resorts of Vale do Lobo and Quinta da Lago, the area is a hive of activity with disco bars, nightclubs, cafés and beaches attracting holidaymakers in their droves. A villa here makes an ideal base from which to explore this vibrant and colourful area. The children will love playing in golden sands and splashing about on lilos in the sea and the grown ups will enjoy mixing and meeting with new friends in the restaurants, bars and nightclubs.
Algarve villas in Vilamoura and Quarteira
The beaches at Falésia which is backed by unusual red coloured cliffs and Olhos de Água, which is surrounded on three sides by pine-clad cliffs are ideal for a day out in the sun as is Vilamoura beach itself, though this is slightly less natural looking. Quarteira Beach is beautiful and, in stark contrast to the beaches at Portimao, virtually rock-free. There are plenty of eateries located along the Avenida Infante de Sagres which runs along behind it, so if your tire of cooking for yourselves during your stay, you can pop in to any one of them for a bite to eat or some refreshments. Quarteira still has a thriving local fishing community and the fishermen can be found at the western end of the beach or selling their catch at the nearby fish market. If you are staying nearby in one of our Algarve villas, get up early one morning to buy some fresh fish and you can prepare it for lunch or dinner that very day.
Algarve villas in Tavira
Farther east still and into Eastern Algarve, you’ll find the Algarve villas and beaches of Tavira, all 11 kilometres of them. Ilha beach and Cabanas beach are well worth looking out for here. They form part of the Ria Formosa Natural Park which is a protected environment so you will not find many Algarve villas here but those you do find are quite lovely with splendid views not only on the stunning beaches but also of the Ria Formosa too.
