The picturesque town of Carvoeiro is one of the Algarve’s undiscovered gems. Stunning coastlines stretch for miles, while golden beaches are hidden around every corner. As early as twenty years ago, this town was just a small and relatively isolated fishing village, mostly unknown to tourists.
After a huge development surge in the area, the Carvoeiro of today is an entirely different space. While it still retains its small-town charms, Carvoeiro is the perfect combination of Portugal’s rich cultural heritage and all the modern facilities and services a sun-seeking vacationer could ask for.
Unwind in its peaceful and relaxing ambience during the day, and revel in its vivid nightlife during the evenings - there is something for everybody in this small but alluring little town.Enjoy the unspoilt natural sceneries of the Algarve with all the region’s outdoor activities on offer.
Play a round of golf surrounded by gorgeous sandstone cliffs or go inland and walk the beautiful hiking trails of the Scenic Sete Vales Suspensos Hiking Route and climb the peaks of the Monchique and Foia Mountains. The magnificent Benagil Caves are a definite highlight and can be visited on a boat excision from the nearby Portimão Harbour.
While the town of Carvoeiro itself is full of character, it also serves as a beautiful home-base for discovering other areas in the region. Take a day trip to the traditional fishing village of Ferragudo, or the ancient capital of Silves, which is only 14km north of Carvoeiro. Here you can learn more about Algarve’s rich history, and marvel at the architecture of the Caste and Cathedrals.
