Tips from Joel

In the Setúbal Peninsula, skip the main viewpoints in Arrábida and ask a local in Portinho for the trail to Praia dos Coelhos. It’s a short walk, barely signposted, but leads to a quiet cove with turquoise water where locals swim and picnic away from the crowds.
Personalize your free day in Comporta with authentic experiences crafted to your interests. Stroll white sand beaches, explore rice fields and cork oak landscapes, surf gentle breaks, or ride horses along the shore.
Taste fresh seafood at family-run restaurants, visit local artisans, join a birdwatching or boat tour, or simply relax at a boutique farmhouse. Our team can tailor activities to your pace for a memorable, off-the-beaten-path day.
In the morning, meet your private driver for a comfortable transfer to the Algarve. Travel in privacy and style as your itinerary is tailored to your pace and interests.
Enjoy curated stops at secluded coves, dramatic cliffs, and charming fishing villages, with time for seaside walks, local cuisine, and photo opportunities. Your driver can adapt the route to uncover authentic coastal experiences and hidden viewpoints.
Meet your private driver for a trip exploring the Algarve's charming villages and mountain settlements, where local traditions and traces of an Arab past meet architecture from the Age of Discoveries.

A short boat transfer from the shore brings you into the cave to capture an unforgettable photograph.
Take a free day to shape authentic, tailor-made experiences: wander colorful coastal villages, relax on golden beaches, learn to surf, or cycle dramatic cliff-top routes.
