Carvoeiro

Carvoeiro is a charming seaside town in the municipality of Lagoa, located around 5km south of Lagoa, in Portugal’s sunny Algarve region. Once a quiet fishing village with a long history of settlement, Carvoeiro gradually transformed into one of the Algarve’s most desirable coastal destinations, famous for its golden sandy beaches, dramatic cliff-lined coastline, and relaxed atmosphere.

Tourism is the main driver for the local economy, with hotels, shops, and improved road access that help shape Carvoeiro into the vibrant holiday and lifestyle destination it is.

A perfect family-friendly attraction for those relocating with children, Slide & Splash is one of the Algarve’s most popular waterparks. Located in Estômbar, just a 10-minute drive from Carvoeiro, it offers fun for all ages, ranging from thrilling water slides to live shows featuring falconry, reptiles, and tropical birds.
The park also provides plenty of amenities such as restaurants and cafés, a photo service to capture your day, and sun loungers and parasols available for rent.

Located in Guia, around a 25-minute drive from Carvoeiro via the N125, Zoomarine is one of the Algarve’s top attractions for families.

For an unforgettable experience, the park also offers interactive encounters such as the Dolphin Emotions Experience, ideal for younger children or anyone who prefers shallow water, allowing visitors to meet dolphins up close in a safe and memorable setting.
