Hotels in Algarve Region, Portugal

The Algarve is Portugal's southernmost region, famous for its dramatic limestone sea caves and golden beaches stretching from the Spanish border to Cape St. Vincent. The climate gives you hot, dry summers with highs near 86°F (30°C) perfect for kayaking into the Benagil Cave, and mild winters around 50°F (10°C) ideal for hiking the Seven Hanging Valleys Trail or teeing off at Vilamoura's golf courses. While the western surf town of Sagres brings big waves and a laid-back fishing vibe, the eastern Ria Formosa lagoon offers quieter sandbars and birdwatching by ferry.
