WHY ALGARVE
Golden cliffs, Atlantic light and easy calm.
The Algarve is Portugal's sun-trap coast: ochre cliffs, hidden beaches and cliff-top resorts with strong spas and golf. A break for warm days, sea air and early, easy nights.

Algarve, answered.
When is the best time to visit Algarve?
Algarve works almost year-round: late spring to early autumn for the beaches, and — unusually — it's also one of the warmer winter-sun escapes within a short flight of the UK.
How do I get to Algarve?
Algarve is reachable by road and rail, or a short flight from the UK. Retreat48 picks the sensible airport or route and times the real door-to-door journey for you.
What is Algarve best for?
Algarve is best for switching off, getting outside and sleeping better. Golden cliffs, Atlantic light and easy calm.
