Praia de Santa Eulália, 8200-916 Albufeira, Portugal

You’ll have a great time in Portugal’s Algarve, whether you choose to spend your days exploring all the sights or doing as little as possible. Enjoy a few sunny days topping up your tan on the golden sands of Santa Eulalia beach, or take a leisurely drive into the heart of Albufeira: a former fishing village, it offers sandy beaches, postcard-perfect architecture, bustling nightlife, and dolphin-watching boat trips from its attractive marina.

A little further afield are Faro and Portimão: head to the former to explore its old town and cycle around the stunning Ria Formosa islands, or visit the latter’s medieval fort, marina and plentiful laid-back beaches.
