Day 1. Welcome to Portugal!
Land in Lisbon, pick up your car hire, and hit the road south toward the Algarve. The drive takes roughly three hours and rewards you with increasingly sunny skies and glimpses of rolling cork oak forests along the way. Check in to the Casa de Sada Algarve Beach Resort and take a walk down to the beach before dinner. Find a local restaurant in the nearby village and try a plate of grilled fish.
Set directly on the golden sands of ArmaΓ§Γ£o de PΓͺra, Casa de Sada Algarve Beach Resort, Curio Collection by Hilton offers a stylish beachfront escape along Portugalβs stunning Algarve coast. The resort features 183 contemporary rooms, many with Atlantic Ocean views, along with an outdoor pool, spa, fitness center, cinema room, and golf simulator.
Guests can enjoy
oceanfront dining, fresh seafood by the beach, and panoramic sunset views from
the rooftop bar, while the resortβs convenient location provides easy access to
the Benagil Caves, local attractions, and nearby golf courses.
Day 2. Algarve
Your first full day on the coast is yours to enjoy however you like. Perhaps you'd like to spend the morning on the resort's beach, then take the car out in the afternoon to explore the dramatic sea cliffs and sea caves around Lagos or Ponta da Piedade. The golden rock formations along this stretch of coastline are among the most photographed in Europe. In the evening, head to a nearby village for fresh shellfish and a glass of local white wine.
Ponta da Piedade
Day 3. Algarve
Why not explore the charming town of Tavira today? Known for its Roman bridge, whitewashed churches, and relaxed pace, it's one of the most picturesque towns in the eastern Algarve and an easy drive from the resort. Wander the old town, browse the covered market, and stop for a coffee in one of the shaded squares. Back at the resort, spend the late afternoon on the beach before a relaxed dinner as the sun goes down.

Day 4. Algarve
Today is a great day to drive out to Sagres and Cape St. Vincent, the dramatic southwestern tip of Portugal and one of the westernmost points of continental Europe. The cliffs here rise sharply above the Atlantic and offer striking views in every direction. Consider stopping in the surf town of Sagres for lunch before heading back along the coast. Spend your evening at the resort and maybe treat yourself to a sunset drink on the terrace.

Find a spot for dinner in the nearby Chiado district and toast to your arrival in Portugal's capital.
