Hopefully the site will provide enough information to tempt you to visit this beautiful village and the 2 bedroom/2 bathroom apartment we have to rent. We’ve provided pages to show off the accommodation, the beach, local attractions and maps to locate the apartment in Luz. If you wish to enquire about availability or to make a booking, please use the prices/booking page details. Praia da Luz is a beach destination in the Algarve, at just under one hours easy drive from Faro airport. The development of the town is mostly low rise apartments and villas of all sizes, and the facilities are mainly aimed at family holidays, although suitable for people of all ages. There is a great variety of family friendly restaurants
and bars, good shops and supermarkets and all the amenities for a
complete holiday. There is a beautiful sandy beach perfect for sun bathing and water sports, and Luz beach sports the European blue flag indicating clean sand and clean water. To the east of town you find some spectacular cliffs and among them the prominent black rock Rocha Negra. This is an intrusion of lava produced from the volcanoes of Monchique some 190 million to 135 million years ago. Luz has a history of occupation firstly by the Carthaginians and then by the Romans and there are the remains of fish salting vats and a roman villa to visit. Luz is just 8 minutes west of the larger historic town of Lagos which is provides great sightseeing, plenty of shopping, good night life, and a large established marina. |
