Algarve, Charming Destination for the World

🌊 Algarve: Between Golden Cliffs and Charming Stories

Atlantic waves crash on fine sandy beaches, flanked by golden cliffs, while white villages rise on the hillsides. The Algarve is like the Mediterranean, but with more excitement. Here, properties range from affordable apartments to luxurious villas, always accompanied by generous sea, impeccable golf courses and the friendliness of the people. All this less than three hours from the United Kingdom — and with an attractive tax regime for those who decide to live here permanently.

📍 Geography and diversity

The Algarve stretches along 240 km of coastline and about 40 km inland. Although famous for its ocean views and lively summer, the interior reveals rolling hills and tranquil mountains, just minutes away from a swim in the Atlantic.

🏖️ Three Algarves

• Central Algarve (Lagos-Faro): more developed, with resorts, hotels and holiday apartments. Albufeira stands out as an international destination, attracting residents since Roman times. Vilamoura and the "Golden Triangle" (Vale do Lobo, Quinta do Lago) concentrate luxury and golf.

• Wild West (Lagos and surroundings): Lagos, a historic port city, marks the transition to a more authentic and less touristy Algarve. Praia da Luz is popular with permanent residents.

• Sotavento (Tavira and east coast): greener, with fishing villages and elegant Tavira, where centuries-old houses line cobbled streets. Here, prices are more affordable and the proximity to Andalusia adds charm.

Wherever you shop, there's always a golf course close by and an expat community ready to welcome. But it only takes a few kilometers inland to live a genuine Portuguese experience.
