Armacao Holidays

A fairytale story

Once upon a time the harbour town of Armacao joined forces with local village Pera to create a holiday destination that has a little bit of everything. They brought together the traditional streets of Pera with the golden sands of Armacao Beach and made a place where anyone can enjoy the Algarve coastline. The days are filled with activities on the beach and strolls around the town while at night the beachfront lights up with bars and restaurants and the atmosphere turns lively and sexy. An entire holiday in Armacao could be spent just lying on the sand, occasionally moving to the bar, and as it is one of the longest beaches in Portugal you could lie in a different spot each day. Forget the fancy spa treatments; Armacao has got the combination just right for a relaxing getaway. Oh and they all lived happily every after.

Turn back time in the old village

Stepping away from the busy beachfront and heading inland to the old village, you can easily be mistaken for thinking you’ve found some sort of time space continuum. The old village of Pera is lined with cobbled streets that criss cross through the town to make a network of whitewash houses and immaculately tiled churches. If you head there first thing in the morning you can hear a pin drop, but as the fishermen start to bring in their catches of the day, it’s fascinating to do a bit of people watching and see how it all works. The hordes those fishermen are delivering are very likely to be the culinary delights you will find on your plate that evening. The ultimate in fresh food!
