Casa Luzia is near some of the best beaches on the Algarve which are rarely crowded even in the height of summer. Tavira's main beach is the Ilha de Tavira, where the 11km of sand provide an idyllic spot to sunbathe and relax. The wide, safe and clean sandy beach is one of Tavira's key features, with restaurants and beach bars. The extensive sandy beach at Manta Rota is also highly recommended.
Benamor Golf course is literally a couple of minutes away. Other courses within a very short drive from the Villa include Quinta da Ria / Quinta de Cima and Castro Marim, as well as the exclusive Monte Rei course designed by Jack Nichlaus. Seve Ballesteros has just opened a highly-rated course at Quinta do Vale and a 45 minute drive to the Quinta do Lago area.
The Ria Formosa Nature Reserve is a paradise for walkers and bird watchers alike. For people who prefer a little more strenuous exercise there is also a local Kite-Surfing school, horse riding, tennis and many mountain bike trails.
