THE ALGARVE
The Algarve is renown for its beautiful coastline, However Albufeira can boast some of the best beaches in the Algarve.
The nearest beach is Olhos d'Agua, which has beautiful golden sand and some excellent restaurants nearby.
Olhos d'Agua beach is a 5 minute drive or approximately 15 - 20 minute walk
ALBUFEIRA
Albufeira combines fabulous beaches with upbeat nightlife. For this is a resort with a lot to offer. Quiet evenings of starlit dinners, or late nights with the volume turned up. The fun-loving, modern seafront, or the cobbled streets of the old town. Acres of golden sand at Praia d'Oura or the smaller, quieter coves tucked beneath the cliffs to the east. Once a quaint fishing village, Albufeira has retained plenty of Algarve charm, but now brims with holiday pizzazz.
Albufeira is a 5-10 minute drive or approximately 45 minute walk
VILAMOURA
Vilamoura is set around a lovely marina where there is a huge variety of cafes, bars and restaurants , plus fashionable boutiques and shops, as well as a whirlwind of bars, a casino and clubs all centred around the chic marina. Sun, sand and sea are an irresistible combination and there are two large, sandy beaches stretching away on either side of the marina. One is quieter; perfect for getting away from the crowd and watching the inside of your eyelids, in peace. The other – Falesia Beach – buzzes with life, with its snack bars, myriad sunloungers and colourful umbrellas.
Vilamoura is only a 15 minute drive from Vivenda Paraiso
