Carvoeiro
was once a sleepy fishing village but since the 1960’s has emerged as a cosmopolitan resort where Portuguese life goes hand in hand with a thriving holiday industry.

Carvoeiro is ideal for family holidays and to use as a base for exploring the more rugged parts of the Algarve.

For those wanting an active holiday, golf, tennis and horse-riding are all available locally.

Restaurants and bars around the square offer a delicious choice of local seafood, and a late afternoon drink is the way many people choose to end their day after sunbathing on the beach.

Carvoeiro main square

The town is full of small shops and a fabulous selection of international restaurants giving more choice than most people can fit into a two week stay.

 
Located midway between the resorts of Albufeira to the east and Lagos to the west, the area is perfect to explore all the Algarve has to offer.
The resort surrounding the village is home to fashionable villas and a wide range of holiday apartments.

Carvoeiro town and beach

Holidays to Carvoeiro are delightful.
Cut out from red cliffs, this charming resort with a golden sandy beach leading to crystal clear waters is full of character.

Carvoeiro is ideal for a laid back beach holiday with winding streets leading down to the cove. You'll also find rocky bays and secluded beaches away from the main beach.

In recent years the fishing boats have been adapted to take tourists on trips along the beautiful coastline, but the central square is still a meeting place for the old fishermen.
