the algarve holidays

portugal’s golden coast

Browse the latest offers on Algarve holidays with The Co-operative Travel, and book online with a company you can trust.  The Algarve forms the large majority of Portugal’s Mediterranean coast, stretching from the town of Sagres in the west to Vila Real de Santo António in the east. The administrative centre is Faro, just outside of which is the region’s major international airport and the starting point for most Algarve holidays.

The majority of people booking Algarve holidays are attracted by the region’s glorious climate, beautiful beaches and courteous Portuguese hospitality. Many more come to enjoy sporting activity that includes a whole range of exciting water sports, deep sea fishing and golf. Indeed, the region is home to some of the world’s most visually exciting and physically challenging golf courses. That has resulted in holidays to The Algarve becoming as synonymous with golf breaks as it is for beach holidays. Many enterprising families manage to combine both keeping everyone happy in the process!

holidays in albufeira?

Package holidays to The Algarve include accommodation ranging from self-catering apartments to luxury hotels, especially in the popular neighbouring resorts of Albufeira and Vilamoura. Top-class hotels and designer boutiques are grouped around a well-developed picturesque marina at Vilamoura giving it a cultured, refined ambience. Albufeira is an altogether more bustling resort with a long sandy beach, buzzing nightlife and affordable accommodation; very popular with families and much more likely to be the destination for cheap holidays to the Algarve.

Other popular Algarve resorts include charming Alvor which is altogether much quieter, offering a relaxed beach holiday with just a soupçon of nightlife. However, both the bigger neighbouring resorts of Portimao and Praia da Rocha offer much more for night owls in addition to excellent sandy beaches. But this is just a small sample of the first-class resorts along The Algarve. The majority are designed to meet the needs of families especially those with younger children and are easy and convenient to reach from Faro airport.

Algarve holiday breaks come in all shapes and sizes; from 3-night mini-breaks to fully inclusive two week holidays; whatever your budget there is a holiday to the Algarve waiting for you at The Co-operative Travel.
