Modern holiday villas on the Algarve
The factual part…
Served by Faro airport the Algarve is a vibrant and popular
resort. The temperature fluctuates between 25 and 40+ degrees with any time
from April to October likely to offer good weather conditions. A quick look on
recent temperature records show the Algarve hit a heady 44.4 celsius back in
2004, definitely a case of lathering on the factor 50!
This part of Portugal can be best imagined divided into
three: a western part, where rugged coastline, winds and authentic Portugal
awaits in resorts like Sagres and Portimao, a central area dominated by
Albufeira, Vilamoura, Vale do Lobo, Quinta do Lago and of course Faro, whilst
to the right is an eastern area comprising lesser known Tavira and Olhao. We
are fans of the middle part especially, packed with golf courses, sandy
beaches, trendy restaurants and bars.
The fun part…
Measuring only 160 kms x 50 kms, the Algarve is filled with
a variety of treasures – long sandy blue flag beaches, hidden coves, beach bars
and water sports mean all the family are taken care of. If you like golf, take
your pick from classics like Oceanico Millenium in Vilamoura, Laranjal in
Quinta do Lago, Laguna (Vilamoura), Salgados in Albufeira or Ocean Golf in Vale
do Lobo (to name a few…)
For meals out, try Bovino in Quinta (for steaks), Casa do
Lago for seafood or Pure for its desserts (also a great spot for watching over
the golf). In Vale do Lobo enjoy a mixture of cuisines from Asian to French or
pop into one of the many beachside bars like Breeze Papagaio or why not enjoy a
crepe in La Creperie Café? Nightlife reigns supreme at Gecko Club in Vale do
Lobo, ‘The Strip’ in Albufeira, Kadoc in Vilamoura or Blackjack disco.
