Overview

Holiday Highlights

  • Dinners taken at local restaurants with wine included.
  • Stay in a centrally located hotel, within walking distance of the main town and local restaurants.
  • Enjoy a variety of coast and countryside walks.
  • Visit the spectacular Tavira Island beach with wide golden sands and calm sea waters.

  • Discover Alcoutim and the picturesque Castro Marim Nature Reserve.

Experience the tranquil beauty of the Eastern Algarve, a hidden gem enjoying a serene, relaxed and unhurried lifestyle. Nestled close to the Spanish border and surrounded by plantations of fragrant orange and lemon trees, the Eastern Algarve is home to beautiful long sandy beaches and picturesque traditional Portuguese towns dotting the waterfront. 

Embraced by scent infused pine forests and gentle rolling hills, the picturesque beach town of Monte Gordo is your centre for the week, located close to the river Guadiana on the Portuguese-Spanish border. Monte Gordo is close to Tavira but has a much slower pace of life than its lively neighbours. Stroll along the glorious sandy beaches to the seafront promenade filled with local restaurants, bars and shops. Take a refreshing dip in the turquoise sea, the water here is calm and the warmest in Portugal as Monte Gordo’s beaches are sheltered from the cooler Atlantic winds.

Throughout the holiday you'll explore quaint seaside towns such as Altura and Olhao. Spend a day visiting beautiful Tavira and its heavenly island, where you'll indulge a delicious lunch. Glide through the labyrinth of islands of the tranquil Parque Natural da Ria Formosa by boat. Immerse yourself in the unique charm of this unhurried region, where relaxation meets cultural exploration.
