Carvoeiro, or Praia Do Carvoeiro, on Portugal’s beautiful Algarve coast is near some of the most gorgeous beaches in the region, many of these are surrounded by towering cliffs riddled with a multitude of delightful caves which more often than not can only be accessed at low tide. Beaches in the Carvoeiro area which are well worth a visit are Praia de Centianes, Praia de Carvalho, Praia de Benagil, Praia de Marinha and Praia da Albandeira.
This short film shows the beauty of Carvoeiro and the surrounding area.

If you have booked your Algarve accommodation separately, or are staying with friends, you will still need to sort out getting to where you are staying.
First and foremost you will most likely require a flight we recommend www.flight.co.uk who trawl through the entire flight schedule to find the best option for you. The Algarve is served by Faro airport and it can be reached from all over the UK.
Once you reach Faro Airport the next leg of your journey begins, you can either hire a car or use a transfer service to your resort.
For airport to resort transfer we have used ResortHoppa in the past and would certainly recommend to anyone.
One more essential for your Algarve holiday is travel insurance, this can be single or multi trip and covers you for all manner of emergency. Along with travel insurance its wise to get a European Health Insurance Card which is free to UK citizens and entitles you to reduced-cost, sometimes free, medical treatment that becomes necessary while you’re in a European Economic Area (EEA) country or Switzerland.
Alvor is seeped in the history and traditions of the Algarve, the enclosed narrow streets have restricted modern development ensuring it retains much of the charm of a picturesque fishing village.
Alvor’s streets are filled with white houses and colorful boats making it one of the most beautiful and charming villages on the Algarve.
This ancient coastal village is an extremely popular holiday location especially for family vacations, Alvor boasts a “Blue Flag” children friendly beach, Golf Club and Aqua Park.
In many of Alvor’s streets you will find bars with live music and a diverse selection of restaurants, however one you get away from the main tourist areas you can find traces of the older fishing village.
