The Algarve

Portugal's south coast has a longer season than almost anywhere in Europe, warm from Easter until November, and a west to east range from wild Atlantic beaches near Sagres to the sheltered coves and golf estates around Vale do Lobo. The best hotels sit on the cliffs between Lagos and Carvoeiro with steps down to their own sand. We arrange boat trips to the Benagil caves before the crowds, tables at the fish restaurants in Olhão, and villas with staff for families who want a week rather than a hotel stay.
