The charming village of Praia da Luz with its beautiful sandy beach, many little bars and restaurants is surely the most beautiful of the little villages on the western Algarve, where you can be assured of a relaxing holiday away from all the masses of tourists you find in the bigger centres. It is only 7 km from the interesting, historical town of Lagos with its modern marina. From Praia da Luz it is only 5 km to the A22 highway which takes you directly to Faro airport, the city of Faro, Spain or Lisbon as well as the north of Portugal. Praia da Luz has an approximately 500 metre beautiful sandy beach, bordered by a promenade of palm trees with many benches to relax on. From the beach it goes gradually into the water, making it ideal for children. You can also have a cool drink in one of the many bars or restaurants along the promenade in the sun or in the shade. The many little shops and supermarkets invite to do some shopping.
