Algarve holidays offer a huge number of tremendous resorts and a nice variety of locations. Featuring distinguished golf courses, water sports aplenty and some glorious weather, an Algarve holiday is an attractive prospect for families, couples and groups of golfers. The Algarve holiday resorts in many cases sprung up from small fishing villages to encompass excellent facilities close to the miles of sandy beaches that stretch along the south coast of Portugal. The historic town of Faro is popular with day trippers and is the location of the main Airport in the Algarve. A number of local and regional UK Airports offer Flights to Faro.

The main Algarve holiday resorts are centred around the lively town of Albufeira. West of Albufeira, Portimao is a cosmopolitan town with a rich, cultural heritage and is backed by pine covered hills and fields of wild flowers. The warm sandy beaches and turquoise waters of Praia da Rocha lie close by. Vilamoura is a purpose built Algarve resort that has its own attractive marina lined with shops, bars and cafes and has excellent sports facilities, particularly for golfers.
