Universally loved, holidays to Praia da Rocha appeal to a huge audience. The resort is actually the second largest in the Algarve and is a favourite for holidays to Portugal with all ages. Swinging singles, romantic couples and active families are all accommodated equally . A superb sugar soft sand beach is the focal point by day and is dramatically overlooked by the resort town perched on the cliff face above as if guarded by an angel!
As is typical of what to expect on Algarve holidays, many huge rocky outcrops jut from the sea along this coastline, giving the area a very distinct and unique flavour and topography. Heaven for the watersport enthusiast, windsurfing, sailing and parascending are all popular. The resort has all the usual requisites for happy holidays. Bars, pavement cafes, shops and restaurants all compete furiously for the tourist euro and the atmosphere is full of buzz. In the evening, the resort is an entertainment mecca with plenty of music pubs and live shows.
The local town of Portimao is only a bus ride from Praia da Rocha and not only is the shopping excellent, (think lovely leather products and shoes to kill for!), but it is a charming venue by night as the area is just redolent with charcoal grills piled with fresh sardines. Imagine this on a balmy night, sitting under an awning with a cool drink........ If the kids in your family get restless, fret not. They will be royally entertained with some nearby waterparks and a wildlife park.
Not only is Praia da Rocha geared for its many visitors, it genuinely welcomes them. The local people are really warm and friendly, so one immediately feels at home in this delightful resort. There are many direct flights from Dublin into Faro airport, so the lovely resorts are easily accessible.
