Shaped by different geographies, cultures and religions, Portugal’s
Algarve offers the traveller a multi-faceted experience. The Algarve
has a slightly African as well as European air; it lies on the Atlantic
Ocean yet has a distinctly Mediterranean feel, with both a Christian
heritage and a distant Islamic history. The name Algarve comes from the
Arabic "Al Ghareb" and means the west, or more poetically, "the land of
the setting sun"
It is these charming idiosyncrasies, combined with year-round
sunshine, dramatic rock formations and beautiful, clean sandy beaches,
that make the Algarve the most attractive year-round holiday
destination in Portugal.
The inherent variety and beauty of the natural landscape, combined with
excellent tourist facilities, make the Algarve an ideal place to stay.
Peace and quiet or modern sophistication and activity – the choice is
yours.
Travel Club of Upminster offers a wide choice of locations and types of
accommodation in the Algarve: self-catering apartments, hotels and
villas in quieter, picturesque Luz and apartments in traditional
Lagos.We have a five-star hotel in Praia da Rocha and a four-star hotel
in Armação de Pêra. A few miles inland are our countryside villas at
Fazenda Caravela, where you exchange the rolling ocean for lush orange
groves, cypress trees and wooded mountains. Back on the coast is
stylish Vale do Lobo, where we have both villas and townhouses.
Tailor-made, two-centre holidays in the Algarve are becoming
increasingly popular with our customers. Why not spend your first week
relaxing in peaceful Fazenda Caravela and then move to Luz Bay Villas
for a bit of beach life? If the two-centre concept appeals to you
please speak to our customer reservations team to find out about the
options available.
