Discover Praia da Luz

Picturesque coastal town

Luz, also known as Praia da Luz, is one of the last towns along the Algarvian south coast before you reach Sagres – the corner of Europe. It has retained its charm due to not having skyscrapers and busy streets: a perfect place for a relaxing holiday.

Behind the beach you will find a cobblestone boulevard that boasts many great restaurants and cafes where you can try local delicacies or familiar food. While it is a quiet town, a couple of bars stay open past midnight.

What to see and do?

  • Many wonderful restaurants with Portuguese and international cuisine
  • A beautiful beach with golden brown sand and a turquoise ocean in summer.
