Holiday homes in Quarteira
Quarteira is a charming seaside resort on the south coast of the
Algarve. The former fishing village has developed into a popular holiday destination over the decades. Thanks to its clean, shallow water, Quarteira is also popular with families with children. There are excellent facilities for almost all types of
water sport. So it’s a great place for
sailing and wave surfing. Beginners can master these sports at one of the surf and sailing schools in the village. Quarteira has a beautiful boulevard, with the sun-drenched beach on one side and a wide choice of shops, terraces and restaurants on the other.
Plenty to do for young and old
When you walk through Quarteira, it is hard to imagine that a Roman settlement once stood here. Because today it’s all about the
sun, sea and sand. Quarteira also has a very pleasant climate outside the summer months. Not for nothing do many British people choose to spend winter here. There is also plenty to see and do in the vicinity of Quarteira. The ‘twin seaside resort’ of Vilamoura has a lovely marina, which was designed by a wealthy Lisbon banker.
