Looking for the best beaches and outdoor adventure travel destinations? Well, we have got the perfect places for you in Portugal!

Portugal was voted at the 28th Edition of The World Travel Awards 2021 as the Algarve being  “Europe’s Leading Beach Destination”, and the archipelago island of Azores as “Europe’s Leading Adventure Tourism Destination”.

It is without a doubt that Algarve has the most amazing beaches to delight in! The southernmost region of Portugal is well known for its pristine Atlantic beaches, golf resorts, charming fishing villages, showcasing amazing restaurants with “the fresh catch of the day” fish, and seafood cuisine. Algarve has plenty to SEE and DO! We suggest beginning your adventure with a dreamy island image at Benagil Caves, where you can enjoy a kayak experience, stand-up paddling, or a boat trip to the caves. Benagil caves are great for a friends or family beach getaway, exploring the natural sea life, local beaches such as Praia do Carvoeiro, Armação de Pêra, and Benagil.

Glimpse of the Algarve.

Followed by Cabo de São Vicente, Europe’s southern westerly point, situated northwest of Sagres town centre, this cape has witnessed many naval conflicts, and was the last piece of Portuguese soil seen by many Portuguese sailors when sailing away into the fate of the sea. Within close distance, you will find the Fortaleza de Sagres, a fortress surrounded by breathtaking cliffs and bluffs along the coast to Cabo de São Vicente. A beautiful sight to be seen, indeed.

A scenic viewpoint in Lagos that is utterly spectacular, and perfect for a camera shot, is Ponta da Piedade - a coastal sandstone cliff formed by wind and water, nestled in between a small beach, grottos, and clear turquoise ocean water. There are plenty of more beaches to explore, and the beach list in Algarve is endless with more than 60 beach spots!

Everything was perfect. I got all answers about my questions. 

Investor from Turkey

Ryan was an excellent real estate agent, he really steered me in the right direction based on what I said was important to me. Living in another country, I wasn't as familiar with the city as he is. Where I thought I wanted to live and what I truly wanted were not the same. He took the time to listen and figure out the best spot for me, and we are very happy with it - far more than we would have been elsewhere.
