The Algarve may be set along the coastline, but it's not all beaches here - away from the coast, you'll find verdant vineyards, pristine nature reserves and rugged mountains. Our travel experts here at Plum Guide know this because we've travelled far and wide across the region, sipping wine and munching on local fare. With our guide to the best neighbourhoods you'll feel like a local in no time.
This popular holiday spot benefits from a central location on the coast, making it a great base for exploring the Algarve. Once a quiet fishing village set on sandstone cliffs, Albufeira now offers a plethora of accommodation, restaurants, bars and activities like dolphin watching and diving excursions. However, Albufeira’s main draw is its beaches, with some of the Algarve’s best stretches of sand set within walking distance of the town.
Particularly popular with local Portuguese, the town of Quarteira is a good choice for those looking for a more authentic experience away from the tourist crowds. If you’re after a mix of beaches, shopping, food and nightlife, you should add Quarteira to your itinerary. The town is often used as a base for golfing holidays as it offers easy access to some of the Algarve’s (and Portugal’s) best courses.
Situated in the heart of the Algarve, Olhos de Água is a wonderful resort town centred around a sandy cove. Despite being a popular destination, it has a relaxed atmosphere and still retains its fishing village roots. Olhos de Água is close to the magnificent Praia da Falésia beach to the east, and the Praia Santa Eulália to the west. The town also offers plenty of opportunities for day trips like boat tours, water parks and historic towns to explore.
Not too far from Albufeira is the village of Guia which has become a popular place to stay in recent years. Known for its signature grilled chicken dish frango da Guia, we couldn’t possibly miss this spot on our travel guide to Algarve. When you’re not devouring barbecue, walk around and visit the historic churches like Igreja Matriz da Guia and Nossa Senhora da Guia, traverse the surrounding countryside on foot, or drive down to Praia da Galé for a swim.

Found the perfect villa in the Algarve? Now let's help you plan your trip.
Relax on one of the many beaches With a coastline stretching for 155 kilometres, the Algarve is the ultimate beach destination. The south coast beaches are ideal for water sports, where you can spend time canoeing, windsurfing, kitesurfing or jet skiing. Meanwhile, the Atlantic beaches are more rugged and wild—these are better suited for more adventurous holiday-makers who don’t mind trekking a bit to get to the beach. Praia de Dona Ana has beautiful calm waters and is perfect for swimming and snorkelling. Meanwhile, head to Ponta da Piedade, a beautiful headland with jagged limestone cliffs forming natural arches and caves.
Ride the waves Another way to make the most of the Algarve’s coastline is on a thrilling water sports ride. With excellent marinas and harbours along the coast, you’re never too far from a water sports centre. Those in search of adrenaline-fuelled fun can go jet skiing, surfing, flyboarding and parasailing, whereas those who prefer to take it easy can ride the waves by kayak or stand-up paddleboard or head on a scuba diving adventure underwater.
Take a hike There are plenty of wonderful coastal cliff-top walks, but if you want to mix things up, an alternative to the Algarve’s beach scene is Serra de Monchique. This mountain range boasts jaw-dropping views of the surrounding sea and cities—take one of the nature trails through shady woodland all the way up to Pico da Foia, the highest point in the Algarve at 900 metres. Alternatively, the Rocha da Pena trail takes you through woodlands filled with colourful wildflowers growing amid fragrant thyme and rosemary.
Sample local wine With its temperate climate and sunshine, the Algarve is the ideal wine-growing location. There are over 2,000 vineyards and almost 30 producers strung along the coast, so wine connoisseurs are spoilt for choice when it comes to tours and tastings. Some of our favourites include Quinta dos Vales which has a wide range of red, white and rosé wines, Quinta do Morgado da Torre which produces superb Alvor wines, and Adega do Cantor which is the brainchild of musician Cliff Richards.
