The Algarve is a truly stunning area of mainland Portugal, and it benefits form a huge stretch of fabulous beaches. Balaia is a part of that, and it’s a really secluded destination, whilst it is popular for being a golf village.

It also has 2 fantastic beaches, with blue water seas, exotic surroundings. The main beach is not ideal for those wanting a peaceful atmosphere, with the added benefit of beach bars, water sports and sun loungers (in the peak season that is).

If you’re a keen golfer who wants a break, this is the ideal holiday for you, Balaia in the Algarve benefits from an award winning 9 hole golf course, and it benefits from stunning beach views. You can perhaps even bring your partner along, even if they are not a keen golfer, because the restaurants and beaches on offer really are superb.
