Praia da Luz is a charming coastal resort which offers a relaxed and friendly atmosphere.
Not yet over commercialised, tourism has been developed with taste and care blending old with new. Holiday makers can enjoy a stroll down the cobbled streets towards the stunning blue flag beach which offers a wide range of watersports including water-skiing, windsurfing and scuba diving and has full time professional life guards ensuring safety at all times. The large sandy beach was a rocky section teeming with marine life which will keep the children amused for hours. There are basic shopping facilities and a variety of bars and restaurants serving excellent international and traditional cuisine allowing lots of opportunities to try out the local dish of the day like, Caldeirada (fish stew), Cataplana (pork and clams stewed in a wok) and Espetados (skewered meat).
There are many challenging golf courses within a 15 minute drive and just 6km east of Praia da Luz is the historic town of Lagos with its vibrant marina, shops and restaurants.
