Portugal From One Home Base

Spend the week exploring Portugal’s sunny southern coast, but instead of packing up and moving every couple of days, you get to actually settle and soak it all in.

You make Lagos home for six nights and explore the Algarve from there.

And you aren't sitting in one place all week either. You're getting out and exploring.

There's Ponta da Piedade for those dramatic golden cliffs and turquoise Atlantic views.

Olhão and the Ria Formosa give you the coastal villages, lagoons and landscapes this part of Portugal is known for.

You can wander the cobbled streets of Tavira, then head inland to São Brás and see a completely different side of the Algarve.

And then there's Sagres and Cape St. Vincent, with that wild, windswept coastline at the southwestern edge of Portugal.

But at the end of the day?

You're coming back to Lagos.

One Place to Call Home

I don't mind exploring. Actually, that's the whole reason I travel.

But constantly packing up and moving to another hotel isn't the part I'm excited about.

With this type of trip, you can settle in.

Find the coffee shop you like. Walk around Lagos. Try a restaurant. Spend some time at the beach. And when you head out sightseeing the next morning, you know you're coming back to the same place that night.

You still have the transportation, sightseeing and details of a guided tour taken care of.

You're just doing it differently.

Maybe This Is More Your Style

I talk a lot about finding the style of travel that fits you, because not everyone wants to experience a destination the same way.

Maybe you want to cover as much of Portugal as possible and don't care how many times you change hotels.

But maybe you've looked at guided tours before and thought...

That sounds great, but I don't want to live out of my suitcase for a week.

Well, you don't necessarily have to.

There are tours that let you slow things down, make one place home and still get out there and explore.

One hotel. One spectacular region. A completely different side of Portugal.

This is the Algarve without the hotel hopping, and I am here for it.
