Overview

From the wild west to the tranquil east, experience deserted coastal paths along Portugal’s enthralling Algarve coast. Witness surfers catching waves off the coast from laid-back Sagres, stand in awe at nature’s artwork at Ponta Peidade, where rock formations stand proud out of the Atlantic to the soundtrack of crashing waves, and take a dip in the inviting deep blue waters from secluded beaches. This is a holiday to fuel your senses, from the smell of the salty sea air, the sight of the rock formations changing colour in the sun, or tasting the freshly caught seafood in the local restaurants.



Your walks will take you over deserted clifftop paths, through Parque Natural da Ria Formosa teeming with birdlife, and along golden beaches to pretty, traditional villages of Figuera, Fuzeta and to bustling resorts of Albufeira and Tavira. This trip has been designed to experience all this fantastic region has to offer, and staying in 4-star hotels with swimming pools each evening means you can unwind at the end of each day in comfort, whether that be with a good book by the pool or with a glass Vinho Verde in the bar. After all, it is your holiday!

This superb self-guided holiday is all about enjoying the popular Algarve through new eyes, on foot, and at your own pace. Staying in a fantastic range of 4-star hotels with pools makes for the perfect place to relax after a day hiking and allows you to enjoy the many restaurants and facilities of popular tourist resorts. Your walks will take you on well-established coastal paths, rocky trails, and elevated cliff paths, walking 4-5 hours a day with no more than approximately 500m of ascent in a day. If you love to experience a destination anew then you will love this year-round get away.

Why KE?

Walk on the wild coast by day and relax in handpicked 4-star hotels each night. Plus, each hotel has a swimming pool so you can cool off on those summer days.

Staying in Lagos for the first three nights, and Tavira for the final two nights of your holiday allows you to enjoy these historic coastal towns further, or to easily swap a day walking for a lounge by the pool. It is your holiday to spend as you wish!
