It all comes together to create a versatile travel destination that boasts a spectacular coastline that spans over 200 kilometres, a rugged interior, and tranquil nature reserves, all of which await to be discovered. There are pristine beaches with shallow waters that are excellent for families, scenic golf courses for golfers, water parks & theme parks for thrill-seekers, historic towns that are perfect for a day trip full with culture, and a buzzing nightlife for those who like to party.
Albufeira, Lagos and Portimão are the region's most popular town resorts famed for its stunning beaches, water sports, exciting nightlife, and many other vacation activities.
