Water Related Activities:
There is an abundance of water related sports and activities available locally including surfing (the breakers on the Algarve's silver coast attract serious surfers to the most unspoiled and beautifully secluded beaches imaginable), jet skiing, banana boat rides, water skiing etc. Boat trips to the nearby grottoes and sea caves are popular as are big game fishing trips from Florida style game fishing boats, all bookable locally. For children & families the popular water parks of Slide & Splash and The Big One are a short drive from the resort and discounted ticket prices are available to guests of the villa from Ocean Club reception.
Horse Riding:
Luz is situated on the edge of the Costa Vicentina Nature Reserve, one of the region's largest nature parks and making the effort to travel a short distance away from the coast will reward you with the splendour of some of Portugal's most beautiful countryside. Exploring this area on horseback is an excellent & relaxing way of taking in the local scenery and there are several stables in the vicinity catering from beginners to experienced riders. Ocean Club reception will be pleased to advise and arrange equestrian activities on our guests' behalf.
The Food & The People:
The village of Luz boasts a number of fine restaurants & bars catering for an eclectic range of tastes and palates, offering everything from freshly grilled local fish to barbequed steaks, piri-piri chicken and even ostrich, if it takes your fancy! Washed down with some vinho verde and finished off with a glass of local brandy as you sip your coffee and enjoy sunset over the Atlantic really is hard to beat. The cosmopolitan resort town of Lagos with its fishing harbour, marina and attendant nightlife is only a 10 minute drive away for those who prefer something a little more lively but wherever you go you will be met with the warmest and most genuine of welcomes from the local people - Portugal's greatest and most unsung tourist asset. Those visiting for the first time will yearn to return and regular holidaymakers to this beautiful coastline come back year after year - and it's no wonder why.
