Today we’ll take a short trip east to Tavira, a picturesque town with Roman bridges, whitewashed streets, and sandy beaches. Enjoy a guided walk and plenty of time for lunch at a local café. The rest of the day is yours—wander the riverside, shop for ceramics, or relax back at our hotel.

Set sail on a private boat tour through the Ria Formosa Natural Park, one of Portugal’s most stunning coastal areas. We’ll stop at three unique islands, enjoy lunch by the water, and spend time at the beach. Expect sparkling turquoise water, fresh seafood, and a truly relaxing day.
