Situated in the south of Portugal, the Algarve is a region famed for its pristine golden beaches, fringed by dramatic cliffs and lapped by the azure waters of the Mediterranean. Visitors flock here to stay at the many luxury villas and spend days in the sand, sea, sun, and surf, or explore the many adventure-sport, sightseeing, and entertainment options.

Stroll through the historic terraced hill villages and enchanting castle towns of the Algarve’s interior, enjoy a round of golf on a world-class course, and wonder at the region’s magnificent bird life. Known for its balmy weather, the Algarve boasts over 300 days of sun per year. Don’t miss a visit to more remote western coast with its picturesque coves and rugged rock formations.
