About Algarve
Flights to the Algarve bring you to a destination that’s been topping the holiday charts for years. It’s the Algarve’s alluring shoreline which first turned tourists heads back in the Sixties. And it’s little wonder when gold-sand curves are backed by soaring, biscuit-coloured cliffs. At the big resorts of Albufeira, Vilamoura and Lagos, you’ll find beaches just like this. But one of the most famous sandy belts in these parts is in Praia da Rocha, near Portimao. This kilometre-long stretch translates as Beach of the Rocks, which should give you some idea of its appearance. Sand aside, the Algarve serves up a winning combination of golf, seafood restaurants and smart boutiques. Holidays here put over 30 golf courses virtually on your doorstep, so you’ll never have to travel far to tee off. In fact, some hotels even come complete with a nine or 18-hole course within the grounds. Albufeira’s the biggest name in the area. Here, you’ve got a charming old town, as well as a modern strip with a load of international bars and restaurants. Plus, you’re guaranteed to find something to do, whatever your age, thanks to its 25 beaches, first-class shopping and family-friendly waterpark. Book one of our return flights to the Algarve and you’ll touch down at Faro Airport. You can fly direct from all over the UK – including London Gatwick, Heathrow, Manchester, Exeter and the East Midlands. Take a look at our deals page for cheap flights.
