It’s cold and wet here in the UK, so why not take a few moments to imagine relaxing in the hot sun on a sandy beach with a good book and cold glass of local rose on Portugal’s Western Algarve
The kids are running around playing beach cricket pretending to win the Ashes and dad’s been off snorkelling in the clear blue sea for what seems like ages…..It’s quiet, you lie back and watch the world drift gently by….
How your summer holiday should be!
A few relaxing hours later, you all decide to top up your suntans over a light al-fresco lunch in a small seafront restaurant. You have fun trying out your new-found Portuguese language skills by chatting to the local fishermen when they ask you if you’re enjoying the fish they caught that morning….
Next, it’s time for a gentle stroll around the small village of Salema to peak inside the quirky shops and boutiques, before heading back to your dream holiday home – a luxurious beachfront villa with stunning sea views.
Luxury holiday villas in the most stunning locations imaginable
Back at the villa, the children have a great time messing about in your private heated swimming pool and games room, before dad grills fresh sardines and piri-piri chicken on the BBQ. Every evening of your holiday is spent sitting outside gazing across the Atlantic Ocean, Salema village and Algarve coastline.
A charming fishing village in the Algarve
Salema, in Portugal’s Western Algarve, is the land that time seems to have forgotten. Traditional, quiet and unspoilt, this pretty village is situated in the middle of a huge national park and is very easy to get to from the UK. The area offers something for everyone and is the perfect destination for a memorable family holiday at any time of the year.
As active or relaxed as you like!
Southern Portugal provides a massive range of things to do which are sure to keep everyone happy for your entire holiday. The coves and beaches are perfect for water sports. Have a surf lesson in the waves of the west coast, head far out to sea on a sailing boat, try a spot of fishing, watch the dolphins, go diving, or just enjoy a leisurely swim in the warm sea!
Perhaps the finest golf courses in Europe
Alternatively, play a round of golf on a championship course, have a game of tennis or maybe stroll along inviting coastal paths to remote beaches. If the family fancy a trip out, there’s a wide choice of places to see and things to do. Why not visit the port of Sagres, the most south westerly point in continental Europe? This is where the ancient mariners, including Christopher Columbus, Sir Francis Drake and Lord Nelson, passed by on their voyages of exploration and called this the end of the world! The historical town of Lagos with its ancient maze of cobbled streets and vibrant nightlife is also close to Salema.
