Dive into warm, crystal clear water and enjoy an unforgettable day on the beaches of Vila Real de Santo António. Perfect for walks by the sea, relaxing dips and water sports.

A stroll through the historic city centre is a must-do. Be sure to stop and admire the Praça Marquês de Pombal, the Igreja Matriz (Main Church) and the Obelisk of the Marquis of Pombal, characterised by their Pombaline architecture. Here you can feel the city’s history, experience its vibrant atmosphere and enjoy the local cuisine.

Climb the steps of history and visit the local lighthouse. Over 100 years old and rising to a height of 46 metres, this sentinel stands majestically on the right bank of the River Guadiana, affording stunning panoramic views of the Algarve coast.

Speaking of stunning panoramic views, take the opportunity to pay a visit to the fortress in Cacela Velha too. Framed by white houses and golden dunes, it overlooks the Atlantic Ocean, where the tones of blue of water and sky merge on the horizon, creating a breathtaking panorama.
