About the location

Set in the south-west corner of the Algarve, Sagres was once believed to be the most westerly part of the world. These days, still virtually untouched by tourism, this laid-back resort is an oasis of tranquillity in the buzzing Algarve. The ruggedly beautiful landscape is dotted with beaches that are a hit with surfers, and walking and cycling are favourite ways to soak up the sights. The Cabo de São Vincente headland forms the peak of Sagres' sea cliffs and is home to one of the brightest lighthouses on the coast. The little marina is a famous spot for lobster fishing, and you can sample the catch in the handful of traditional local restaurants. For more nightlife and shopping, head into nearby Lagos, just 20 minutes' drive away.
