Carvoeiro is a very small fishing village in Portugal and is located 30 minutes away from Faro airport. The resort is situated in a hilly area and has a small waterfront, which provides the perfect place for taking relaxing fishing trips and luxury holidays. The resort is filled with villas and luxury holiday apartments, all of which are placed in a very intimate location. The village has a large number of bars and restaurants that are not all geared towards tourists and serve a lot of traditional cuisine. Carvoeiro is often a favourite location to visit for people who like to play golf and tennis. The climate and atmosphere is perfect for these sports, and the beaches provide a spot to relax for those who would like to go snorkelling and swimming in the warm shallow waters.
Things to do
There are two popular activities in which to take part and they are playing golf and fishing. Carvoeiro is home to a number of different golf and mini golf courses, making it great for both seasoned professionals and beginners alike. Many people like to go fishing in this unspoilt area as well, and the quiet, tranquil nature of the village makes it the perfect spot for a catch.
Much of the village still retains its medieval architecture and does not have many modern buildings and monuments. This makes it a very popular destination among those who like to learn about the history of the area. There are also a number of small beaches around the area, such as Praia de Centianes, Praia de Carvalho and the Praia de Marinha. Although most of the beaches are not particularly well known when it comes to water sports, many of them will offer activities such as snorkelling, jet skiing and parasailing.
