Praia da Luz is a great family resort towards the western end of the Algarve coast. It has a lovely sandy beach set against a palm tree lined promenade. Formerly a fishing village it has retained its charm and character whilst adapting to the demands of a modern lifestyle. Praia da Luz is a 5-10 minute drive into the lovely western Algarve town of Lagos with its many shops, restaurants, marina and more sophisticated nightlife. Heading west is the south westerly tip of Europe, Cape St Vincent and the nearby nautical town of Sagres. Located 40km inland is the mountain spa of Monchique. Luz is perfect for those who want a more peaceful beach holiday without all the hustle and bustle of the bigger, more popular resorts nearer to Faro.
