Easier Walks

4 to 7 miles generally through gently undulating scenery.
200 to 1120ft of ascent in a day.

From our base at Praia da Luz, we can explore the wild and unspoilt Atlantic coast, a world rarely visited by tourists. We also enjoy the beautiful Algarve coastline, with its tawny cliffs, rock arches and sea stacks. In the interior we’ll wander through the olive and lemon groves to Caldas de Monchique.

Harder Walks

6 to 11 miles with occasional short but steep ascents on the coastal paths.
200 to 1,000ft of ascent in a day.

In the west the Atlantic coast offers dramatic cliff-top walks amidst untamed beauty, and on the stunning Algarve coast we’ll walk between pretty fishing villages. You can also head to the summit of Foia, the highest point in the area, to soak up the panoramic views which stretch right across the region.

On some days the walks start and finish at the hotel. On other days we’ll use the hired transport to explore the surrounding area. The cost of transport to and from the walk is payable locally.

Each week there is a free day when no guided walks are offered. This is an ideal opportunity to relax around the hotel, walk independently, or visit local places of interest.
