Walk from the door

The coast starts where you are staying

BGV263 is a one-bedroom apartment inside Balaia Golf Village, on the stretch of coast between Albufeira and Olhos de Água. Maria Luísa and Santa Eulália beaches are a walk away through the resort's pines and cork oaks, and from there the clifftop path runs east above the red rock. Come back to six pools, a large private balcony and somewhere to dry your boots.

The coast path

Red cliffs, coves and fishing villages

This is the walkable Algarve: sandstone cliffs above small coves, wooden boardwalks over the dunes, and villages where lunch is grilled fish at a table by the water. Most of it needs no guide and no equipment — a pair of trainers, water and an early start are enough.

  • Santa Eulália and Maria Luísa beaches — on foot from the resort
  • Olhos de Água, an old fishing village — approx. 5 min by car
  • Praia da Falésia and its red cliffs — approx. 10 min by car

The season that suits walking

Come when the coast is quiet

The Algarve walks best from October to April, when the light is long, the paths are empty and the afternoons sit comfortably in the high teens. The almond blossom arrives in February. It is also when the apartment is at its most affordable and the resort is at its calmest — the pools, tennis courts and restaurants without the August queues.

Staying a week or more? Longer autumn and winter stays are what this apartment is made for: a full kitchen, fast Wi-Fi for the odd working morning, heating, and free parking for the hire car. Ask us and we will put together the rate.
