Sao Joao Holidays

A glorious beach, restaurants to suit every taste and dance till dawn discos – if that sounds like your sort of holiday then consider Sao Joao.

The first thing you'll notice about Sao Joao is the beach. Five kilometres of golden sand. Rugged, sandstone cliffs. Sedate surf. It's gorgeous. There are watersports on hand for thrill-seekers and sunbeds for those who had something a little more relaxing in mind. This is predominately a modern resort but you might still get a glimpse of days gone by – like the fishermen dragging their boats across the sand and mending their nets, if you walk down the beach at the right time of day. For a longer walk, wander the cliff-top path and wind your way around pretty bays and inlets. You can also take a boat trip to visit caverns and grottos in the cliffs along the coastline. Come the evening, you'll be spoilt for choice when it comes to eating out. 'The Strip' in Sao Joao is lined with every different type of restaurant imaginable. After eating, the night owls can choose from some excellent discos, so don't forget to pack your dancing shoes. Looking to flex your shopping muscles? Stroll around the central square, you'll come across street vendors selling souvenirs and landscape art. And if you're venturing further afield the old town and all the facilities of Albufeira are just a few kilometres down the road. With all your holiday needs covered, there's nothing left for you to do but relax and enjoy it.

Holidays in Sao Joao – think lazy days on the beach and good food under the stars at night. If that's not holiday enough, then you can dance until dawn in one of Sao Joao's impressive nightclubs. For this is a cobbled town dedicated to fun. By day, street vendors fill the streets with chat and colour, whilst by night the main run of restaurants known as The Strip swings into action. No need to dress up – the mood here is lively and informal. Choose between every type of restaurant, and bars that wind up as the sun slips down.

Don't forget the beach amidst all this entertainment! The long sands of Praia d'Oura run for 5 kilometres alongside Sao Joao. A treasure trove for sun worshippers. Sheltered by rugged cliffs and washed by sedate surf, this beach is perfect for watersports, long walks along the water's edge, or stretching out on your sunbed in peace.

Whether you're looking for a cheap holiday to Sao Joao, or something more exotic, you'll find plenty of choice. Take the self catering Vilanova Apartments for example. All the facilities make life easy for parents, while kids will have the time of their lives making new friends at the children's clubs and in the pool. Couples might choose the comfort of the Grande Real Santa Eulalia complete with luxurious pools and spa. Travel to Sao Joao for your summer holiday, and we think you'll be happy with your choice.
