Holidays to Praia da Luz serve up the best of southern Portugal, with watersports, sandy beaches and lively bars aplenty.
Hot tip
Sitting on the south-west tip of the Algarve in Portugal, Praia da Luz has prime coastline at its fingertips. The sheltered bay makes it perfect for watersports action, while caramel sands provide a soft blanket for loungers and family fun. The town's brimming with life, and its fascinating neighbours are just a short drive away.
Historic day out
At a 15-minute drive away, daytrips to Lagos are easy – and there's certainly a lot to see there. It's chock full of pretty churches and chapels, including the elaborately decorated Church of Santo Antonio. There's also a fort and castle down by the harbour for double the culture-vulture delight.
