Lagos Holidays

Set on the golden shores of Portugal’s popular Algarve, Lagos offers just a little more than many of the other resorts that pepper the region. Soft sand beaches offer up wide-open stretches and great surf. The town itself is populated by ancient castles and city walls, trendy restaurants, chic boutiques, and swanky bars.

If there’s one thing the Algarve isn’t short on, it's beaches, and Lagos is no exception. What makes it a stand out is that it's home to some of the region’s finest stretches. See the gentle waters of Batata Beach or the fortress-backed Dona Ana Beach. Visit Meia Praia, which unfolds over four kilometres. This beach is fantastic for families thanks to its shallow waters, but adrenaline junkies will also love the watersports on offer.

Away from the shore, the Algarve is rugged, and its undulating terrain is ideal for hikers, bikers, and horseriders. Take the trails up into the Ponta de Piedade, a dramatic promontory that overlooks sea arches and the Atlantic Ocean.

When the sleepy, sun-soaked day comes to an end, Lagos really comes alive. After dark, this city’s streets are replete with pubs, bars, and restaurants. While on the waterfront, you’ll find beach bars hosting dance parties that spill out onto the shores of Lagos’ beaches.
