SAGRES
Where the Algarve Meets the Wild Atlantic
Dramatic cliffs, powerful surf and unforgettable sunsets at the edge of Europe.
Sagres feels different from the rest of the Algarve. Located at the far south-west tip of Portugal, it offers a wilder, more rugged landscape shaped by the Atlantic Ocean. Here, towering cliffs drop into turquoise waters, windswept headlands stretch towards the horizon, and sunsets are nothing short of spectacular.
A Landscape Like No Other
Unlike the busier central Algarve resorts, Sagres has retained a peaceful, authentic atmosphere. The coastline is dramatic and unspoilt, with vast ocean views in every direction. It’s a place where nature takes centre stage — perfect for those who love fresh sea air, open space and breathtaking scenery.
One of the area’s most iconic landmarks is the Fortaleza de Sagres, a historic 15th-century fortress perched high above the sea. Nearby, Cabo de São Vicente marks the south-westernmost point of mainland Europe — a must-visit for its panoramic views and legendary sunsets.
Beaches & Surf
Sagres is a paradise for surfers and beach lovers alike. The beaches here are wide, natural and framed by dramatic cliffs. Praia do Tonel and Praia da Mareta are among the most popular, offering excellent surf conditions alongside sheltered swimming spots depending on the wind direction.
Whether you’re an experienced surfer or a beginner wanting to try your first lesson, Sagres is one of Portugal’s most respected surf destinations.
A Slower Pace of Life
Sagres is not about nightlife or large resorts — it’s about simplicity, authenticity and connection with nature. Small seafood restaurants serve freshly caught fish, coastal walks reveal hidden viewpoints, and evenings are spent watching the sun melt into the Atlantic.
It’s the perfect destination for:
- Couples seeking a peaceful escape
- Outdoor enthusiasts and hikers
- Surfers and ocean lovers
- Travellers wanting a more authentic Algarve experience
