Welcome to the Algarve

Under radiant sunbeams you’ll find whitewashed sleepy villages that poke out from the cliffside, and pristine beaches where you can find your own secluded bay.

Pretty little family-run tavernas and chic bars on the side of glittering marinas invite you in for fresh seafood, a delicious bite of the famed Portuguese pastel de nata (custard tarts), or a glass of vinho verde. This is the Algarve - and it’s easy to reach with a short flight from the UK. With so much to choose from, here are our top places to discover.
