Exploring the area ...

Albufeira, the favorite local seaside town, is only a 10 minute walk from Areias Residence.

With its extensive sandy beach dotted with colorful fishing boats and a dramatic natural backdrop of steep sandstone cliffs.

The oldest part of town has quaint whitewashed buildings and Moorish arches,
while the newer parts are lower down the hill, with a tunnel linking the main
beach to the town centre.

Albufeira and Areias de São João can get quite busy in the main season,
with a vibrant nightlife.

Try to visit the fascinating port of Lagos and the pretty seaside resorts of Carvoeiro,
Alvor, Burgau and Luz.

Inland, one of the most picturesque villages is Alte, about 18 miles north of the resort, with its elaborate 16th centaury church, whitewashed houses and babbling stream.

The Monchique Mountains also offer some magnifcent scenery.

The hospitality of the local people combined with the delightful year-round climate,
and the delicious Portuguese cuisine tempts visitors back year after year.

Areias Residence is strategically located in the central Algarve.

The local village, Areias de São João, is only a few minutes from the internationally known seaside resort of Albufeira.
