Carvoeiro

Carvoeiro Algarve Holidays - Region overview:

Carvoeiro is one of the most popular destinations for villa with pool holidays in the Algarve. Carvoeiro is one of the jewels along the Algarve coast and blessed with more than its fair share of superb Algarve beaches. Most of Carvoeiro's beaches have stunning backdrops of dramatic cliffs, with the most beautiful golden sand and solitary stone stacks carved by the sea. Carvoeiro's small town centre has a great atmosphere and all the facilities you could need while on holiday in the Algarve, with a wide range of shops, a few market stalls by the fine sandy beach, cafes that spill onto the pavement and a wide range of restaurants catering to all tastes and budgets. However, the small town charm belies the wealth of amenities and facilities in the area which makes Carvoeiro a wonderful base for a memorable family holiday in Portugal.

In Carvoeiro our Algarve villas are located in Aerias dos Moinhos, Clube Atlantico, Clube Carvoeiro, Vale da Lapa and Vale do Milho. See our Algarve holiday villas in Carvoeiro

Carvoeiro Algarve Holidays - Beaches:

Carvoeiro is a fabulous location to enjoy an Algarve beach holiday. The town beach is right beside the town centre and has all the amenities you could need close by. Travelling east, the Algor Seco is a popular spot for snorkelling and diving with dramatic cliffs plunging into the sea.

Almanzor beach is in front of the Almanzor hotel with access through the hotel or a narrow footpath that runs down the side of the hotel. A small yet very attractive Algarve beach with a cave open to the sea. Facilities are available in the hotel including tennis courts.

The next beach along the Carvoeiro coast is Centiannes, a wonderful stretch of golden sand backed by high cliffs. There's also an excellent bar restaurant beside the sands. Smuggler's beach, also known as Alfanzina, is reached by steps that wind down from the club Atlantico estate. The steps pass through a tunnel cut into the rock and onto the magnificent beach below. There are no facilities here so you'll need to take a picnic but it's well worth it.

Bengali is the next Algarve beach. The minor coastal road drops steeply into the valley and passes right beside it. Still used to land the day's catch, you'll see brightly painted boats up on the sand. It also means fresh fish is available at the beach bar and restaurants close by.

Marinha beach is the last of Carvoeiro's beaches heading east, still in the Carvoeiro area, there's a large car park and broad steps down to the sand, stunning cliffs to the rear, rocky columns and a handy beachside restaurant and which bar make this a firm favourite with guests on an Algarve beach holiday.
