Quarteira

Image

Home to a bustling weekly market, a tropical palm-lined promenade and backed by whitewashed cobbles – holidays to Quarteira are a laid-back affair. As one of the Algarve’s best-kept secrets, this off-the-beaten-track resort enjoys long hot summers and its sweeping sun-soaked coastline is among the best in the south region.

There are five golf courses on the cusp of Quarteira,  where expanses of lush landscape provide your backdrop. And as one of the first resorts to be established in the Algarve, it’s steeped in Portuguese heritage.
