Loulé

Loulé holidays

A once Arabian market town with bags of charm – you’ve got it, Loulé is a treasure trove of history and Portuguese culture. From old convents and churches to carnivals and processions, there’s plenty to discover and enjoy all year round. Go breadmaking, eat in Brazilian-style cafés, uncover Bronze Age artefacts, and much more.

Bucket list best bits 

A 13th-century castle, old bell tower, and municipal market with an ornate façade are just three of the top sights on a Loulé holiday. Take a walk along the cobbled pavements and hunt for little shops selling souvenirs, gourmet treats and pretty pottery. Don’t miss out on sampling batter cakes and salted cod too. 

Go on an adventure 

Immerse yourself in nature as you enjoy a gentle stroll along Fonte de Benemola. Drive to Quarteira Beach for some R&R and much-needed sunshine, and you’ll be spoilt for seaside scenery. A daytrip to Faro or Vilamoura will see you feasting on local grilled sardines or teeing off at a prestigious golf course.
