The unique beauty of the Algarve is world renowned with its ochre cliffs, turquoise waters and white sand beaches; it is the picture-perfect place for any beachside getaway. But the Algarve is deeply cultured and rich with history, too, making this a region of hidden depths and unforgettable delights.
Situated on the cusp of the Atlantic with an unmistakably mild-Mediterranean climate, the Algarve is punctuated with a wild beauty that is so often associated the ocean - carved limestone rock and dramatic, rugged cliffs and yet the atmosphere encourages a way of life that is mellow and leisurely.
There are two Algarves and two interconnecting ways of life; that of the mountains and that of the ocean. Enveloped by the hills of Monchique that host tiny, white-washed villages, the pace of life can be slow and the streets almost timeless.
Here, it is distinctly right that what’s to eat is dictated by this season’s offerings. The Algarve’s spectacular climate offers up a bounty of delicious wines and juicy olives to keep you going until dinner.
By the sea, it is impossible to exaggerate the joy of watching dolphins swim across secluded bays and fishers return with their daily catch from a cliff top, aperitivo in hand as the sun sets on this unique corner of the world and on this beguiling way of life.
Come to swim in the crystal-clear waters of a warm Atlantic and stay for the hidden charm discovered one day at a time. The Algarve will continue to tempt you back, and very few can resist.
