Carvoeiro
Carvoeiro is a sunny Algarvean coastal resort located approximately 64 kilometers west of Faro Airport. It is still described as predominantly a traditional fishing village with life revolving around the busy town square, and is often marketed as the Algarve’s “Premier” resort. It is one of the few resorts to have retained its unique cultural charm over the years, whilst retaining its identity as a popular holiday destination.
The main beach is situated right in the town centre. It is sandy and surrounded by a rocky shoreline, serving as a fabulous exemplar of the region's glorious seaside. Some of the most spectacular rock formations found in the Algarve can be found along the Carvoeiro part of the coast just a few minutes away. There are several other beaches all within a few kilometers, making it a perfect location for those who enjoy relishing the sunshine.
Carvoeiro is well served with excellent restaurants, bars (some of which offer live entertainment) and shops. The town is also well served with taxis and public transport, so it is easy to get around. Due to Carvoeiro’s central location in the Algarve, this small historic town acts as an ideal base to explore the entire region and its full wealth of activities.
The town boasts 3 golf courses, two 18-hole courses on the Pestana resort, and a beautiful 9-hole par 3 course in Vale do Milho. With over 30 world-renowned golf courses in the region, the Algarve offers varying challenges for every level of golfer, more than half of these are within a relaxed 30 minute drive away. With excellent sunny weather almost all year round, the Algarve is perfect for year-round golf. Assistance can be provided in booking tee-off times if required.
The region offers a range of many other leisure activities to help make your holiday the best it can be; a fantastic horse riding centre is only a short drive away, as are tennis facilities at the Carvoeiro Tennis Club. Additionally, thrillseekers can find excellent entertainment at the Slide ’n' Splash water park only 6.5 kilometers west, a perfect day out for the family.
