Beyond the busy beaches and apartment blocks of the holiday resorts there remains another Algarve. A place of unspoilt villages, fishing boats and  golden sands.

Burgau where narrow streets and twisting lanes lead down to a picture book cove.  Now the Burgau Beach Hotel welcomes you to explore the real Portugal

The hotel stands between village houses in the cobbled streets so typical of this Algarve fishing village. Step out of the cool marble foyer and enter  unspoilt Portugal.

The beach and restaurants are only two minutes walk away and the evening air brings the delicious aroma of freshly caught fish cooking by cottage doorways.

Burgau is 6 miles west of the town of Lagos and approximately one and a half hours drive from Faro airport

The village has a bus service and taxi but visitors to this area will find a hire car the easiest and most economic way to explore the area. Prices and reservation are available online at the Algarve car hire site
