Altura is an Algarve beach resort that was purposely built near Tavira, Portugal’s Roman town. It can also be found close to Monte Gordo. It is a more undeveloped and peaceful area of Algarve, which makes it a great destination for families who are looking to relax during their holiday. Altura’s coastline is within 37 miles of the Parque natural da Ria Formosa, which has been protected from development. It is home to numerous bird species, and serves as shelter during winter or as a stopover for migrants. The beautiful, sandy beach is easily accessible from most of Altura’s accommodation, which includes hotels, apartments, and villas.
Beautiful sandy beaches can be found along the Algarve’s east coast. There are no less than five Blue Flag beaches located between Tavira, Monte Gordo. Altura offers a large, clean beach, with a restaurant, beach bar, and various water activities. There are ample parking spaces. You can find the beaches of Praia Verde or Manta Rota nearby. They are known for their peacefulness and clean sand.
Altura offers beautiful, inland scenery that can be explored by the whole family on the holiday packages. Take a full-day excursion to Tavira, a traditional rural market town, and see the Roman bridge, town walls, beautiful churches, townhouses and mansions as well as the fishing harbor, exquisite fish restaurants and an interesting indoor market. Tavira is located on the other side of River Gilao, and it’s connected by two bridges. Visit Faro to see its old cobbled streets, squares, and churches. Also visit the Se Cathedral from the 13th Century for great views. Altura, located just one hour and fifty minutes from Seville’s border, is the ideal place for your family to go on a daytrip.
Golf enthusiasts love the resort’s excellent courses, which are all located within 15 minutes of each other. The courses are of high quality and offer many challenges. These courses have stunning views with Castro Marim looking out over the River Guadiana, and Quinta Da Ria in the background.
Altura has a relaxed vibe that allows you to enjoy quiet evenings at either one of its top-quality restaurants or the bars offering entertainment. If you’re looking for lively entertainment at night on late deals to Portugal, you can take the 10-minute trip to Monte Gordo (on the east coast of Algarve). Monte Gordo has more entertainment options than Altura, including a casino for those who want to gamble all night.
Altura has a Mediterranean climate, with mild sea breezes. This makes it feel cool and moderates the humidity. The summer averages around 28C with 12 hours of sunlight per day. This is where the sea gets the most warm in Algarve, with temperatures reaching 24C in summer.
