The Weekend Edition · Nº 1
This week's feature
The Algarve's Most
Beautiful Beaches
Golden cliffs, turquoise waters, and unforgettable family days by the sea. The coastline locals actually choose, from vast golden stretches to coves carved into honey-coloured rock.
Out this week
Three plans worth making
evening
Picnic in the Park, Quinta do Lago
Every Friday through the season: evening bouncy castles, live music, local food and good vibes. A local favourite, check their Instagram for dates.
No Solo Água, Vilamoura
Relaxed evenings by the water with DJs, live music and dining by the sea. Not always widely advertised, worth keeping an eye out locally.

The summer's open-air nights
The festivals and celebrations that shape summer here, and the ones worth planning around, gathered in our summer guide.
The family corner
Keeping the kids happy
- Pick a morning beach with a gentle shelf and go before eleven. The sand is cooler and the parking is real.
- Splash parks earn their keep in late July. Pack the swim shoes.
- Save the rainy-day list somewhere you can find it. You will not need it this week, but August surprises happen.
A table worth booking
Golden hour at Quinta da Tôr
A family wine estate in the hills above Loulé, where tastings happen under the vines and the pace slows to the Algarve you moved here for.
The photograph
The Algarve doesn't reveal its depth immediately; it rewards patience and a slower way of seeing.
