Day by Day
First Light on the Algarve
Meet your private driver at Faro Airport for a comfortable transfer to your chosen hotel. The rest of the day is intentionally left open to allow you to settle in, stroll along the coast, or relax at the resort. Your concierge can arrange a relaxed dinner overlooking the Atlantic for your first evening.
The Edge of Europe: Sagres & Lagos
With a private guide, discover the dramatic cliffs and whitewashed towns of the western Algarve. Visit Sagres Fortress, then continue to Lagos for its historic center, panoramic viewpoints, and sites connected to its seafaring and maritime history. The day features scenic walks, a possible seafood lunch, and time beside the water.
Into the Cork-Oak Country
Embark on a guided quad-bike adventure into the Algarve countryside, traversing rural tracks through cork-oak forests and inland villages. Depending on weather and trail conditions, enjoy stream crossings and panoramic viewpoints far from the coast. This experience is adapted to your party’s experience level, with all safety equipment provided.
At the Algarve Table
Spend the day at a countryside estate partaking in a private farm-to-table culinary experience. Learn about regional ingredients, join in the cooking process, and enjoy a generous meal together, paired with estate wines. The setting is relaxed, personal, and deeply connected to the landscape.
Golden Coast by Private Boat
Board a private sailing boat for a leisurely voyage along the Algarve coast, passing golden beaches, sea caves, and sculpted limestone formations as evening light bathes the Atlantic. The route may be adapted depending on weather and sea conditions. Champagne, light refreshments, or a tailored menu can be arranged for a memorable final evening.
Farewell to the Atlantic
After breakfast, your private driver will transfer you to Faro Airport. Options are available to extend your journey to Lisbon, the Alentejo, Madeira, or another region of Portugal.
A bespoke proposal can be tailored to your dates and party.
