An unforgettable Algarve road trip

7 nights from £1,015 per person based on 2 people sharing

Get behind the wheel for a seven-night journey along Portugal's stunning southern coast. This carefully planned road trip lets you experience the best of the Algarve at your own pace, from the dramatic cliffs of Lagos to the historic charm of Tavira. The carefully selected hotels ensure your stays are as memorable as your drives, giving you the perfect bases to explore from.
  • As you travel, take time to visit the region’s bustling markets - Lagos’ mercado is packed with local produce, fresh fish, and handmade sweets. Throughout the week, you’ll find charming bakeries, family-run restaurants, and welcoming cafes. Try a traditional pastel de nata with your morning coffee, or sample grilled sardines for lunch by the harbour.

  • One standout experience is taking a boat trip from Lagos to see the Ponta da Piedade headland from the water. Local fishermen expertly navigate their small boats through a series of incredible sea arches, tunnels, and hidden grottoes with golden rock formations. You'll hear the local names for the different rocks and get a unique perspective on this famous stretch of coastline.

  • As you continue your adventure, Faro invites you to slow down and soak up its relaxed atmosphere. Beyond the old city walls lies the gateway to Ria Formosa Natural Park, where a network of tranquil lagoons and barrier islands creates a truly unique landscape. Catch a quick ferry to one of the quiet beaches such as Ilha Deserta and lose an afternoon on soft sand - an experience that reveals a hidden, peaceful side of the Algarve that many travellers overlook.

  • Your journey winds down in Tavira, a town many consider the prettiest in the Algarve. Straddling the Gilão River, Tavira is all about cobbled streets, traditional tiled houses, and the quiet presence of a hilltop castle. The pace is delightfully laid-back, offering a welcome contrast to some of the busier western resorts.
