Costa Vicentina: relax on sandy shores
Bite-sized trip
The Costa Vicentina is located between Lisbon and the Algarve and is known for its rugged cliff coasts with wide sandy beaches. Mass tourism? You won't find that here. Your base for the next few days is the small town of Vila Nova de Milfontes. It’s a picturesque, laid-back place with fantastic beaches nearby.
Day 1 – Arrival into Vila Nova de Milfontes
Your base for the next few days is the small town of Vila Nova de Milfontes. It’s a picturesque, laid-back place with fantastic beaches nearby. You will be staying around 10 minutes from town in a family friendly apartment with plenty of outdoor space and a swimming pool.
Days 2-3 – Beach time
We haven’t scheduled in any activities during your stay, so you’re free to relax and explore the beautiful coastline. Choose from small, sheltered bays to large beaches with high cliffs. The beach right next to the old town – Praia da Franquina – is a great all-round beach that is good for sunbathing, swimming, SUPing or kayaking. If you’re hoping to catch some waves then Praia do Malhão and Praia das Furnas are the surf spots of Vila Nova de Milfontes. If you’d like to learn to surf, let us know as we can book a surf lesson for you.
Day 4 – Departure from Villa De Milfontes
Enjoy a final breakfast on your terrace and then on to the next place. Can’t get enough of the beach? Then travel on to the Algarve. For a change of scenery head inland to Alentejo and stay overnight in a glamping tent surrounded by nature.
