The Algarve region

There are many reasons to visit the Algarve: a warm, sunny climate that usually enjoys a lovely breeze, some of the best beaches in Europe, numerous quality golf courses, and a relaxed atmosphere. The Western side of the Algarve is less developed than areas nearer to the airport: the motorway to this area only opened a few year's ago. If you take a trip to the spectacular coastline at Cape St Vincent you will be at the most south-westerly point of mainland Europe and this area is steeped in naval history.

Other places to visit include the picturesque mountain spa town of Monchique; the quaint fishing village of Burgau; the Barragem de Bravura near Odiaxere, where you can swim in the dam's eucalyptus-scented water and the UNESCO World Heritage-listed Megalithic monuments at Evora.

Lagos / Boavista area

There are numerous beautiful beaches nearby: Porto de Mos, Praia D'Ana, Praia Da Luz and Meia Praia are all within a few minutes drive away from Boavista. Further West, there are many secluded beaches which are off the beaten track such as Zavier and Tonel. Windsurfing is popular at Martinhal beach and there are a number of surfing beaches in the far south-west and further up north along the coast. All of these beaches are between 5 minutes and 45 minutes from the villa- a beach explorer's paradise!

Lagos is an easy place to be- there are ample street cafes and restaurants along the cobbled whitewashed streets, a local market every Saturday morning, interesting small shops, a fresh fish market and a lively night life. From the harbour you can go on a boat trip to spot dolphins, visit caves, fish or even charter your own yacht.

For children who want a change from Boavista's swimming pools and from playing on the beaches, there a couple of good attractions about 40 minutes drive away: there is a big Slide Splash park and at Zoo Marine there is a wonderful dolphin show, aquarium, 4-d cinema, swimming pool and a few rides too.

For golfers, Boavista championship golf course is on the doorstep. This course opened on the 1st January 2002 and was designed by Howard Swan MSc, past president of The European Institute of Golf Course Architects. His objective was to design a course that preserves and integrates with the area's natural terrain. Umbrella pines, almond, fig, palm and olive trees line the rolling fairways making Boavista a beautiful golf course. The golf is challenging and enjoyable and the course has quickly earned the reputation of being amongst the best in in the area. Guests at the villa receive a 20% discount off the green fees and a 10% reduction at the clubhouse.

There must be in the region of 30 other great courses within an hour's drive of Boavista, for example, Palmares, Alto Golf, Morgado, Penina, Villa Sol, Salgados, Pinta, Gramacho, Parque da Floresta, Vilamoura, Pinhal, Laguna and Millenium.
