Quarteira Holidays

Quarteira Holidays – A great beach and a firm favourite with golf fans
Quarteira offers a pleasant straightforward beach resort just to the east of Vilamoura, on Portugal’s southern Algarve coast, 14 miles west of Faro airport. Quarteira features one of the Algarve’s longest beaches. Excellent sand and safe conditions make Quarteira holidays a very attractive option for families with children. Quarteira offers a rather more economical alternative to the upmarket resort Vilamoura just along the coast. Quarteira is close enough to Vilamoura to easily enjoy its fantastic choice of leisure and sport activities. Holidays in Quarteira are particularly popular with golf fans, with no less than 5 eighteen-hole championship golf courses in the area surrounding Vilamoura.

Quarteira Holidays – One of the longest sandy beaches in the Algarve
There is an exceptionally long and broad beach in Quarteira and its palm-lined flower-decked seafront promenade lined with cafes and restaurants with attractive pavement terraces. Quarteira offers a wide choice of restaurants, with plenty of locally caught fish on the menu. There are lots of shops and a fine weekly market for local crafts and produce. Children and teenagers on holiday in Quarteira will enjoy the local waterpark and the choice of watersports on Quarteira beach. Bars, discos and a couple of nightclubs keep things moving at night in a likeably modest kind of way. You could also have a night out at the casino in Vilamoura. Quarteira beach is linked with Vilamoura beach by regular buses and a mini-train. Quarteira holidays should certainly include a couple of visits to Vilamoura for its superb sandy beaches, outstanding marina, superb sports facilities and several first-class golf courses. Vilamoura marina is the starting point for an excellent choice of boat trips and cruises, including dolphin spotting and deep-sea big game fishing trips.

Quarteira Holidays – Explore the attractive Algarve region
The woodland and open farmland in the Quarteira region is ideal for horse riding and cycling. Quarteira holidays should include a look at the roman ruins at Vilamoura and the pretty inland town of Loulé with its castle and fine weekly market. Other popular Quarteira excursions include trips to fishing villages and the attractive countryside to the north of the resort. Buses run along the coast in both directions from Quarteira beach to other Algarve beach resorts.
