The Algarve is rustic Portugal at its best, complete with whitewashed towns flanked by giant plateaus tumbling into azure sea. And while the southwestern coast has its drawbacks—the backpacker scene takes over many of the beaches—the legendary region still has the charm of one of the world’s undiscovered gems.
Work with Indagare to design the perfect itinerary for an immersive journey. Our travel experts know the destination inside and out, and they can make recommendations based on your travel needs and preferences.
Indagare can customize an itinerary in the Algarve—home to both beautiful beaches and charming towns—to suit your interests. Here is just one example of what our destination experts can create for you.
Covering over 100 miles, this stunning coast has a wealth of surf towns and sandy beaches. Family-friendly resorts dot the coast and boast gorgeous ocean views. Spend your first day soaking in the sun and scenery over local Sagres beers, taking a walk through one of the nearby towns and enjoying the amenities that your resort has to offer.
Immerse yourself in the history and culture of the Algarve with a private guide who can show you such monuments as the Silves Moorish Castle, which dates back to the 10th century, and the Sao Lourenco Church, a gorgeous monument to typical azulejo decoration. In the afternoon, unwind after touring with a long seaside dinner.
Whether you choose to venture to a local spot or stay based at your resort, the Algarve is ideal for outdoor and water activities. Enjoy the nice weather while surfing, hiking, biking or playing at one of the coast’s elite golf courses. Indagare can also arrange a cooking class or artisanal workshop.
We only feature hotels that we can vouch for first-hand. At many of them, Indagare members receive special perks, including upgrades, early check-in, spa credits, and more. Look for the Indagare Plus logo in the reviews.
