Portugal, Algarve -- 7 Nights from £316 inc. flights, half board, spa voucher & welcome drink - save up to 54%| Flights included · via Voyage Prive |
|
|
The Algarve is famed for its stunning beaches and scenery. The beaches in and around Carvoeiro are a superb mix of blue ocean and the white sand, with wonderful hidden caves waiting to be explored. Carvoeiro is a small but popular resort which boasts various shops, restaurants and cafes - ideally situated for family fun days out. There are two water parks within easy reach - the closest being Slide and Splash at Lagoa and Aqualand just slightly further away at Alcantarilha. If water parks aren't for you then there is Zoomarine Sealife Park at Guia and Krazy World at Algoz to choose from.
If you have something a little more relaxing in mind, then a trip to Silves is a lovely day out with its Moorish castle and riverside walks. A walk around the castle walls allows you to have a bird's eye view of the town and surrounding countryside and there are lots of pavement cafés to refresh yourself at afterwards.
This luxury villa property with wonderful facilities for all the family is set in lush gardens, lakes and streams for ultimate peace and tranquility. The Agua Hotels Vale Da Lapa is surrounded by some fantastic beaches so add car hire to explore the region with ease! You'll enjoy a spacious Family Suite on a Half Board basis including flights plus a €20 spa voucher per person per stay, complimentary use of the spa facilities and a welcome drink on arrival. |
