Ideally located in the popular destination of Algarve in Portugal, you will find Olhão - a gorgeous seaside town that is also the largest fishing port in the region. This is not run of the mill tourist beach resort, its promenades and gardens make it a beautiful location for a relaxing summer holiday. Full of traditional Portuguese charm and market stalls, this picturesque coastal town will steal your heart away. Benefitting from the warm Mediterranean climate means that you can look forward to dry, sunny weather as you explore the area and its many activities and sights. It’s also conveniently located near to Faro airport, so travelling there can be as relaxed as the holiday itself.
Renting holiday accommodation in Olhão
Whilst you could stay in a hotel where you’ll be spending a lot of money for a bed in a cramped room without much of your own space, you could instead rent your own apartment or villa in Olhão and really let yourself relax. One of the main attractions of the town are the fish markets that beckon you to take one of the fresh catches home and cook them yourself. As many of HouseTrip’s rental properties have their own kitchens, you can take advantage of this delicious opportunity which simply isn’t available in a hotel.
Where to stay in Olhão
With properties closer to the exciting market squares in the centre of the town and other properties slightly further out but within walking distance of the beach, our selection of Olhão apartments and villas will fulfil your Portuguese dreams. If you want to be able to watch the world go by from your window and to pop to a street cafe at noon to grab yourself some lunch, then consider an elegant town house in the historic Old Town where you’ll never be more than a few steps from the action. If you want sea views and beaches, then consider one of our cottages in the Ilha Da Armona area where you can find complete peace and quiet to relax with the family.
Olhão with the family
?
With so much to stimulate the senses, your kids will love Olhão. Take them for walks through the Old Town and let them explore the historic churches and bustling streets. If they’re after adventure, then either hit the beach for a day of splashing about and having fun or take them go karting at the Algarve Indoor Kart Center where they can race around until they’re exhausted. Later on, you can take them for an afternoon out on a boat in the mediterranean sea where they can really appreciate the beauty of the Portuguese coastline.
