Tavira & Santa Luzia

Tavira is one of the most elegant and beautiful towns in the Algarve with fine 18th century buildings and 37 churches.

Plan your Stay

It is a fascinating place to explore through winding narrow cobbled streets and pastel-coloured houses with distinctive tiled roofs lining  the gentle curve of the Gilão River.

 

The Castle walls border the medieval centre, enclosing a tranquil garden filled with flowers and quiet corners. Climb to the top of the walls and a rich tapestry of tiled rooftops unfolds at your feet stretching away to the mosaic of saltpans before reaching the Atlantic ocean.

Among city walls, Baroque churches and cobblestone lanes, Tavira reveals one of its most striking features: the traditional pagoda-style rooftops, unique to this region. These elegant four-sided roofs were inspired by Oriental architectural influences brought through 18th-century trade routes, a reminder of Tavira’s centuries-old connection to the sea and the wider world. Their layered silhouettes give the town an unmistakable character, best appreciated from the castle heights or from the calm riverbanks at sunset.

Tavira is located one of the best Golf Courses in Algarve, Monte Rey Featuring 2 Jack Nicklaus designed championship courses set over 1,000 acres of glorious countryside in Portugal’s Eastern Algarve.
