Olhos D'Agua Holidays

Olhos de Agua translates as ‘eyes of the water’, and it’s named on account of the freshwater springs that bubble up on its beaches. This unusual natural phenomenon has attracted people here for centuries – but though it’s well worth seeing, Olhos de Agua holidays also offer much more to keep visitors entertained. From here, you can strike out on some of the region’s scenic walking routes, which zig-zag all along the coast.

Or you may prefer to explore the landscape from the back of a horse or bicycle. And as this town sits between the busier resorts of Albufeira and Vilamoura, partygoers will have no trouble sampling some of the Algarve’s best nightlife. Olhos de Agua, though, provides an oasis away from the neon lights, which makes it a great choice for families or couples seeking a more peaceful retreat. Finally, you can’t talk about holidays to Olhos de Agua without mentioning the beaches. There are loads to choose from, but nearby Praia de Falésia is one of the longest and finest stretches of sand on the Algarve – perfect for sunbathing and water sports.
