Carvoeiro & the Algarve
Once a small fishing village, Carvoeiro has kept its easygoing character. It is one of the Algarve’s best-loved coastal resorts, with golden coves, clear Atlantic water, excellent restaurants and lively bars—all in a compact, walkable centre.
The clifftop boardwalk begins beside Vilas do Mar and leads towards the extraordinary rock formations at Algar Seco. In summer, the village square hosts live music from June to the end of September, while nearby beaches, boat trips and coastal trails make exploring the wider Algarve wonderfully easy.
Useful for every stay
