algarve algarve algarve luxury holidays europe rsquo s leading golf destination also has great beaches and places of interest too portugal rsquo s southern coast has been a major draw to british visitors for several decades its fabulous white sand beaches the exceptional range of championship golf courses and its temperate climate naturally make it popular for algarve luxury holidays we cannot deny that some areas have been predominantly developed to satisfy this need and are therefore very busy in the peak summer months but we have selected some of the finest algarve 5 star hotels most in areas that still reflect the traditional hospitality and charm that the algarve is known for the quinta do lago and vale do lobo estates are less developed and offer a sophisticated algarve luxury holiday experience in other busier resorts our particular algarve 5 star hotel selection are able to provide that same high quality and have all the facilities required to ensure guest satisfaction the algarve away from the resorts has beautiful rural countryside and pretty typical villages with algarve 5 star restaurants offering good value and more traditional dishes it is worth hiring a car while on your algarve luxury holidays to explore the area and see the other side of the algarve whatever your style of holiday be it beach golf or exploring our experienced team would be happy to advise and discuss your needs the algarve 5 star resorts and areas we offer vilamoura ndash praia falesia albufeira three of our algarve 5 star properties are in the vilamoura ndash praia falesia ndash albufeira area in the algarve many of the best hotels are on the coast or on privately owned estates this area is known by several names some select the praia the beach area name others use the nearest town or even region name one thing that can be said is it is famous for its endless beautiful sandy beaches and stunning red cliffs as a popular area for algarve luxury holidays there are parts of the region that are very developed but on the other side of the coin the fishermen still go about their business as they have done for decades and the cobbled streets and whitewashed houses in the some of the old town areas and villages remain as they have always been within relatively short distances the landscape changes to green country side with orange fig almond and pine trees there is a range of interesting places to visit and things to do on your algarve luxury holidays albufeira is a busy tourist town but the old medieval area of town is barred to traffic which protects the lovely mosaic tiles on the ground and the small fishing harbour is picturesque the new marina is very attractive and has a wide range of new shops bars and algarve 5 star restaurants vilamoura is a man made resort that is centred around the famous marina and has a wide range of shops bars and algarve 5 star restaurants it is reputed to have the best range of sports and entertainment facilities in the algarve we say reputed because these things are in the eye of the beholder four 18 hole golf courses surround the resort and our nearest hotel here is the lake resort which has many of the facilities one would find in town on their algarve luxury holidays praia falesia is the beach area where the sheraton algarve and the lake resort are located which extends along this coast quinta do lago is a famous privately owned estate of over 1600 acres of beautiful parkland which includes the ria formosa nature park and reserve the resort is considered to be one of the most sophisticated in the algarve and often visited by the rich and famous on their algarve luxury holidays within the estate there are residential areas as well as the algarve 5 star star quinta do lago hotel plus 4 championship golf courses are surrounded by the natural beauty of the estuary and the parklands you need not go far to find what you need beaches water and other sports golf shopping lakes horse riding and nature trails this really is a complete resort area and is definitely a top of the range choice for your algarve luxury holidays vale do lobo like quinta do lago this is another privately owned estate set between pine forests and long stretches of beautiful sandy beaches again an area dominated by the beaches and the golf courses but that is what appeals to visitors to algarve luxury holidays there is a wonderful range and quality of both here as well as an appealing temperate climate vale do lobo is a very good area and like quinta do lago not as developed as some algarve resorts the nearest village in the area in amancil well known for its muted coloured ceramics and for retaining much of its traditional portuguese character there are algarve 5 star restaurants and art gallery and the s atilde o louren ccedil o church see out what to do page porches arma ccedil atilde o de pera porches is a classic algarve village with white washed houses with the typical filigreed chimneys this picturesque village is where much of the blue and white pottery is made one can visit the pottery factory which preserves the local craft and the ancient moorish designs ndash some shops also decorate the handmade pottery in public view too algarve 5 star hotels are generally on the coastal area five minutes deom porches including our choice of vila vita parc and are located near arma ccedil atilde o de pera once a small fishing village this is now a town perfect for algarve luxury holidays porches boasts one of the nicest sandy beaches in the algarve which stretches for miles the beach has the same name as the town boat trips depart from here and there are theme parks for the younger visitor including aqualand and the dolphin park within 10 minutes of town the appeal of the white sand beach here does mean it gets busy in the peak summer months but either side of july august this area is very appealing algarve golf holidays for some the algarve is synonymous with golf we have selected some of the best algarve 5 star hotels for golfers most of these have their own courses and naturally the golf professionals too there are a host of special golfing arrangements do please ask us we have much more detail on algarve golf holidays just click here beaches beaches too are synonymous with algarve luxury holidays and again we list some of the best on our what to do page what to do on algarve 5 star breaks most visitors choose algarve luxury holidays for the temperate climate the warm friendly people and of course the golf and beaches but there are a host of sporting options available and some interesting places to visit ndash we mention several on our what to do page events in the algarve many events are centred around local fiestas or sports but there are some surprising visitors to the area too recent individual concerts included lionel richie brian ferry and liza minelli and there are some good classical music events too we will keep you posted on our what rsquo s on in the algarve page other options in portugal going north from the algarve to the neighbouring rural alentejo is an interesting and different experience by hire car or excursion on your algarve luxury holidays if you would like to experience this either for the day or perhaps to stay overnight or two in one of the lovely pousadas in the area do please let us know two centre holidays we can arrange stays combining both the algarve and madeira a good combination of a beach and island holiday please ask for advice getting around on your algarve luxury holidays without doubt car hire is the best option to explore this region or for days out away from the algarve 5 star resorts but avoid driving around the larger towns as they can be busy if visiting a larger town or faro drive there and park up rather than getting caught up in the traffic the motorway n125 extends along most of the coast to provide quick and easy access to the area you seek but country roads are quieter and much more relaxing local best buys on your algarve 5 star break basketware ceramics copper and brass from monchique and loule leather goods port and
