Have you ever been to Lagos?

Lagos is an absolutely stunning city in the Algarve. With many beaches, some bigger, others smaller, but all of them incredibly wonderful, Lagos is the ideal place for a relaxing holiday.

With incredible rock formations on the beaches, but without that limiting our freedom in the water, Lagos is a true Paradise on earth. You can swim freely, but wherever you look you will see a different set of rocks. What a work of nature!

True to its location, in Lagos it is hot almost all year round. As in the rest of the Algarve, cold is rare, even during the winter months.

Lagos also have, in addition to its fabulous beaches, a fascinating center and a very pleasant marina. Rich in tradition, there you can find some truly traditional shops!

Another strong point of Lagos is its food. It is amazing how all of its restaurants continue to delight us, and how cheap it is to eat in such central locations! Variety and quality is not lacking here.

During your stay in Lagos you can try several water sports that are so frequently promoted, and for those who like animals you can also have a lot of fun as Lagos has a charming Zoo!

It is definitely worth a visit!

What People Are Saying

★★★★★
"We booked a half day tour from Paderne and we were not disappointed. We have been coming here for over 10 years and wish we had done it sooner. Our guide Nuno was fantastic, full of lots of interesting facts that we had no idea about and was lovely to learn a little about the culture and history of the Algarve. We had our 7 year old with us who never became bored because Nuno made sure to add in lots of fun along the way. We collected lots of things for a school project and had an amazing time off-roading up in the mountains. Our little monster said it was 'the best day ever' so if that is not a recommendation I don't know what is! ;) Thanks Nuno for a fabulous morning, the best adventure and lots of laughs! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED :)"
★★★★★
"We were collected outside our apartment by Isabel our guide for the day. The safari was just our family and a fantastic mix of local information about the nature and traditions of the area and the thrill of driving off road. We visited villages, honey productions farms and the highest point on the mountains. We really enjoyed it."
★★★★★
"Paulino arrived on time and myself and my wife had the best 1/2 day trip I have been on during any holiday. We saw a different side of the Algarve and we learnt a lot about Portugal. I also booked it for my wife as she loves VW campervans and that was a great plus to the trip. Would book the sunset trip next time. Thanks"
