Situated in the extreme South of Portugal, Algarve is a brightly coloured region, with its fig trees, orange groves and almond trees in blossom. Its coast line became famous for its fabulous sandy beaches, broken up by extraordinary rugged cliffs and fantastic grottoes.
Faro is the administrative centre of the Algarve region and houses the Faro International Airport which handles millions of passengers per year. Blessed with numerous golf courses, luxurious beach resorts and quaint little fishing villages, the Algarve is a dream destination for conferences and incentives. Some of Europe’s best-known resorts exist along the region’s 150-kilometre stretch of golden coastline, most notably Quinta do Lago, Vale de Lobo, Vale do Garrão and Vilamoura.
The sun-soaked shoreline of the Algarve is the ideal place for water sports, golf, tennis, horse riding, kart-racing, surfing and practising many interesting fun and team building events in the open air. Besides every sport and leisure facility under the sun, the region also boasts all the sophistication of a modern conference destination such as three modern casinos and several state-of-the-art congress venues. A large-scale conference centre has just opened near Portimão.
