About Praia Da Luz:
Praia da Luz has seen much development in recent years and has become a firm favourite for the English ex-patriot community. However it has retained its appeal and attractiveness by being held to a relatively low-rise landscape.
The lovely beach, whose bay is sheltered by the 'Black Rock' and there are lots of restaurants, cafes and shops along the promenade, which runs behind it. You will also find all sorts of market stalls and artists displaying their work where you can browse if you want a break from the beach.
Surprisingly, there are also some ruins of Roman baths from 3rd to 5th century A.D just behind the wall that runs along the promenade. There is a door in the wall which is open from 10am to 5pm every day and just up the steps are the remains of Roman baths. Luckily this last piece of history was saved from the developers and preserved and is now overlooked by modern villas.
It is easy to see why Praia da Luz is so popular for holidays.
Golf:
There are 4 superb golf courses all located within 15 minutes of the resort. Parque da Floresta, Boavista, Palmares, and the Penina Championship golf course.
