Neighborhood
Praia da Luz is a small resort town located on the incredible Algarve coastline 10km west of Lagos. Praia da Luz or just Luz, was originally a small fishing village on the edge of sandy bay surrounded by cliffs. This sandy bay sheltered by cliffs means it’s a perfect family beach destination. Although the town is now more of a holiday resort it still retains some of the original features from its historical past. The bigger town Lagos is less than 10 minutes’ drive away and in the other direction, you will find many small beach towns and breathtaking beaches. Perfect for family, beach and watersport (surf) trips.
Lagos is the perfect holiday destination with a lively historical center full of shops, (super)markets, a marina, bars and restaurants. It is known for its breathtaking cliffs and we highly recommend a boat, kayak or SUP tour to see them from the water. The town has a picturesque historical center, great food and friendly people. As it is located on the coast you can enjoy several watersports activities such as surfing and sailing. There are many activities for all ages and preferences in this area.
Transit
You can reach Lagos in about one hour by car from Faro Airport and car rental is available in the parking lot of the airport. By train it will take about 2,5 to 3 hours. You can walk into town and the beach from the apartment
Lagos has a train station (for travel towards Faro, Lisbon and Porto) and a bus station (for buses towards the west-side of the south coast) but do note that buses and trains only go a few times per day. You can easily get around without a car and there are plenty of taxis and Ubers available, but if you really want to explore the area surrounding Lagos, a (rental) car will make your life a whole lot easier.

About the area
Praia da Luz, located in the Algarve region of Portugal, is a serene coastal town that beckons travelers with its picturesque landscapes, tranquil atmosphere, and friendly community. Known for its stunning beach, Praia da Luz is a haven for sun-seekers and families looking for a relaxing seaside getaway.
The town's main attraction is undoubtedly its expansive sandy beach, flanked by the iconic Rocha Negra cliff, a volcanic remnant that provides a dramatic backdrop to the azure waters of the Atlantic Ocean. The beach is well-equipped with sun loungers and parasols, making it an ideal spot for sunbathing, while the gentle slope of the seabed ensures safe swimming conditions, perfect for children and less confident swimmers.
Water sports enthusiasts will find plenty to keep them entertained, with opportunities for windsurfing, paddleboarding, and kayaking. The clear waters also make for excellent snorkeling and diving, with a variety of marine life to discover.
Beyond the beach, Praia da Luz offers a charming promenade lined with palm trees, where visitors can enjoy leisurely strolls and take in the sea views. The promenade is dotted with cafes, restaurants, and bars, offering a taste of the local cuisine, which is heavily influenced by the sea, featuring fresh fish and seafood dishes.
For those interested in history and culture, the town's 16th-century church, Igreja da Luz de Lagos, stands as a testament to the area's rich past. The church was partially destroyed in the 1755 earthquake but has since been restored, retaining its beautiful Manueline doorway.
Nature lovers can explore the surrounding landscape by hiking along the cliffs or venturing into the countryside to discover the region's flora and fauna. The nearby Boavista Golf & Spa Resort caters to golf enthusiasts, providing a world-class golfing experience with stunning views.
Day trips from Praia da Luz are also rewarding, with the historic town of Lagos just a short drive away, offering a larger selection of cultural attractions, including the Forte da Ponta da Bandeira and the Mercado de Escravos, Europe's first slave market.
In essence, Praia da Luz is a destination that offers a peaceful retreat with its beautiful beach, engaging activities, and proximity to cultural sites. It's a place where travelers can unwind, soak up the Portuguese sun, and enjoy the slower pace of life in this delightful corner of the Algarve.
