9Algarve, Portugal – Europe’s Golden Coastline

The Algarve, in southern Portugal, is consistently ranked among Europe’s top coastal escapes, and 2026 is set to be no different. With its golden cliffs, turquoise waters, and hidden sea caves, this region is a paradise for both adventurers and sunseekers.

Lagos, Albufeira, and Tavira each offer their own charm—Lagos for its dramatic cliffs and surf culture, Albufeira for nightlife, and Tavira for tranquility. Don’t miss Benagil Cave, one of Europe’s most photographed natural wonders, accessible only by boat or kayak.
The Algarve’s mild climate, fresh seafood, and unspoiled nature make it an ideal destination for early summer or late autumn, when crowds thin and beaches shine brightest.
