A Real Algarve Experience

The Ria Formosa

Quiet lagoons, traditional fishing boats and unspoilt island beaches. Discover the natural beauty of the Ria Formosa and take a ferry to the islands of Armona or Culatra.

Markets & local flavours

The red-brick waterfront markets are at the heart of Olhão. Fresh fish, seasonal produce and the simple pleasure of a long lunch bring the town’s traditions to life.

Most of Olhão is walkable from the residences. Tempos Livres bus stop is 2 minutes away, the bus terminal 8 minutes (direct to Faro Airport, Tavira, Loulé, Vilamoura) and the train station 10 minutes (Faro, Tavira, Lagos, Vila Real de Santo António).
