Praia da Luz Holidays

Praia da Luz is a smart, quiet resort which has grown (and is still growing) like a pearl around an oyster - the old fishing village. Fishing - especially octopus potting - was the predominant profession in Praia da Luz until recently. This has now been surpassed by tourism, with national and international travellers being drawn to the resort's sandy beach and beautiful ochre backdrop."

Praia da Luz is located 8km west of Lagos. It is a smart, quiet resort which has grown (and is still growing) like a pearl around an oyster - the old fishing village. Fishing - especially octopus potting - was the predominant profession in Praia da Luz until recently. This has now been surpassed by tourism, with national and international travellers being drawn to the resort's sandy beach and beautiful ochre backdrop.

Tourism has been developed with taste and care, blending old with new. The charms and character from yesteryear can be found down every tiny, cobbled street. The cliff tops offer fantastic walks and views - head to the secluded beach of Praia de Porto de Mos for a real treat. Those looking for something a bit more active can partake in numerous watersports - scuba diving and windsurfing are particularly good in this area.

Holidays in Praia Da Luz are about serious escapology. Free yourself from the day-to-day life of the hurried breakfast, the charging off to work with the other lemmings, the day job, the commuting home, the telly. The moment you arrive at this charming resort you'll know why you chose to have your holidays in Praia Da Luz. Suddenly you're a million miles away from normal life.

Wander past bright fishermen's cottages, through tiny cobbled streets that wind – eventually - down to the beach and you'll find yourself thinking why can't you live here all the time? Choose a restaurant to sit outside, watch the twinkling sea and feast on locally-caught octopus with chillies, and an ice-cold beer. Summer holidays in Praia Da Luz!

What makes them so memorable is the town itself. Evolved from an old fishing village, the newly built villas offer people taking last minute holidays to Praia Da Luz all the modern amenities, whilst retaining the traditional look – blending effortlessly with the original houses. Take a walk up to the ochre cliffs and you'll find yourself taking photographs of the town as well as the stunning sea views. Saunter back down to the beach and you can add great bathing and exhilarating watersports to the 'all inclusive holidays to Praia Da Luz' recipe, or choose to explore the town of Lagos, just 8kms to the west. Praia Da Luz holidays – come and escape.
