Praia da Rocha

Universally loved, holidays to Praia da Rocha appeal to every type of holidaymaker. It's the second largest resort in the Algarve and swinging singles, romantic couples and active families are all equally accommodated for. A superb soft sand beach is the focal point, dramatically overlooked by the resort town.

The resort is constantly buzzing with tourists exploring the local bars, cafes, shops and restaurants. The local people are warm and friendly, so you immediately feel at home in this delightful resort. In the evening, it's an entertainment mecca with plenty of music, pubs and live shows.

Praia da Rocha is heaven for watersports enthusiasts with windsurfing, sailing and parasailing all popular. If the pool and sea aren't enough to keep the kids in your family entertained, there are plenty of family activities in the Algarve for a day trip away from your hotel.

The local town of Portimao is only a bus ride from Praia da Rocha and not only is the shopping excellent (lovely leather and more shoes than you could carry), but it is a charming venue by night. Imagine cocktail or mocktail in hand, fully at ease on a balmy night...
