NAU Sao Rafael Suites, Caminho das Sesmarias, 8200-613 Albufeira, Portugal

You’ll be staying at one of the most sought after coastal strips in Europe – the glorious Algarve. Much loved yet unspoiled, the unique natural beauty of Sao Rafael Beach is mere moments away. Hit the shimmering waters on a paddle board or kayak, or simply sunbathe the time away, book in hand. More adventurous souls might pursue some coasteering along the rugged coastline, with cliff jumping and cave exploration.

Head inland to follow some stunning hiking trails, with breathtaking views across the clifftops and the Algarve’s unique rock formations, and golf lovers can take a swing at pristine courses in the area. The lively atmosphere of Albufeira is just a short drive away; wander cobblestone streets and marvel at traditional Portuguese architecture in the old town, or embark on an exciting boat tour from the marina.
