Alvor is located towards the western end of the Algarve and is an ancient fishing village that has developed over the years into a popular holiday destination.

The village itself has retained its charm and character, its narrow, cobbled streets not lending themselves to the type of development experienced by other coastal towns and villages. However, these same streets boast a variety of excellent restaurants, specialising in seafood, and bars to suit every taste and requirement. A wonderful wide beach offers the perfect sunbathing and swimming opportunity whilst for those seeking more privacy and tranquillity, there are a number of lovely coves along the coastline. Days are best spent enjoying the golden beach and taking advantage of the sporting activities on offer, from tennis and horse riding to rounds of golf at the nearby 9 or 18 hole courses.

A relaxing retreat with a local flavour, Alvor appeals to couples and families seeking a 'get away from it all' holiday. Transfer time: Airport to Alvor 2 hours
