Inspiration for your own tailor-made trip
Algarve - Portugal
100% customisable for you
Pick up your rental car at the airport and head to Carvoeiro. Three-night stay in a hotel perched atop a cliff, with sand-coloured architecture. Inside, you'll find chic simplicity - waxed blonde flooring, natural colours and materials, wooden furniture - and when you venture out of your room, you'll enjoy Albandeira's infinity pool, wellness centre or secluded beach, which is just a short walk away.
This little fishing village extends through small cobblestone streets in the city centre and opens onto several beaches, sheltered by high cliffs. There is no shortage of activities and there is something for everyone, between watersports or a simple bike ride along the coastal roads and in the garrigue scrubland. A little further away, you can explore striking places such as the caves dug by the sea in Algar Seco.
Already included in the itinerary - A moment of relaxation at your hotel spa. Relax with a scrub and body treatment.
Optional - A hike to Cape St Vincent.
Drive to Moncarapacho, where you'll set down your suitcases for three nights at a property in the countryside. A touch bohemian, the villa is set in the heart of a garden where olive, fig and almond trees rub shoulders with an orange grove reminiscent of neighbouring Andalucia. It's an exceptional place surrounded by tiled roofs and Arabic arches.
Here, you are equidistant from Faro to the west and Tavira to the east.
Included in the itinerary - private exploration of Olhao market with the hotel chef. The Olhao region is known for offering a wide variety of seafood and fish thanks to the Ria Formosa marine reserve, as well as the produce that is found in the market's stalls. Farmers in the Algarve mountains also sell their fruit and vegetables there. You can follow the chef along the market aisles in search of the best ingredients to use when you make lunch together.
Also included in the itinerary - A private boat ride along the coast. Far from the crowds, Ria Formosa Natural Park reveals a new side of the Algarve. A veritable maze of canals, islands, beaches and swamps, the place remains wild, and animated by the thousands of migratory birds. The 37-mile park protects the city of Faro from the Atlantic Ocean and is home to the region's largest beaches, as well as colonies of flamingos.
Optional - A private tour of Faro.
Return your rental car to Faro airport and catch your flight home.
