Your guide to Praia da Luz
All About Praia da Luz
Praia da Luz is a small, relaxed town on Portugal’s famous Algarve coast, near the city of Lagos. It’s a popular destination largely thanks to its warm Mediterranean climate and stretch of beautiful beaches. Located on the edge of a sandy bay, Praia da Luz is sheltered by picturesque cliffs, ensuring that the crystal-clear waters are generally calm. There are lifeguards on duty in summer, so swimmers of all ages and abilities can feel safe getting in the water here. The conditions are perfect for a variety of watersports, including waterskiing, kayaking, and paddleboarding, or just lazing around on a banana boat while soaking up the sun.
Along the beach, you’ll find a lovely stretch of promenade perfect for sunset strolls. You’ll also find a wide selection of restaurants and bars offering al fresco dining — being on the coast, you’re spoilt for fresh seafood choices alongside traditional Portuguese cuisine and cheaper takeaway options. If you fancy something a little livelier, you can head to Lagos, just 15 minutes away, which boasts a vibrant nightlife scene and excellent shopping.
The best time to stay in a holiday rental in Praia da Luz
Praia da Luz experiences a Mediterranean climate, with warm sunshine all year round. June through August are the hottest months, so ensure you pack plenty of sunscreen and a hat. In June, the popular All Saints Festival takes centre stage in town — a weekend celebration of food, live music, dancing, and even a kids’ disco. The spring and autumn months are the most pleasant times to visit, when you won’t get the stifling hot temperatures you see in summer, but can still expect plenty of warm, sunny days to enjoy the beach. Wintertime is much quieter in Praia da Luz, and although it will be cooler, you can still expect sunshine and mild temperatures. Whenever you visit, you’ll find a range of options available for Praia da Luz apartments and villas.
Top things to do in Praia da Luz
Rocha Negra Headland
East of town is Rocha Negra, or Black Cliff. While the Algarve is known for its sandstone cliffs, Rocha Negra is unique for its imposing dark colour, created millions of years ago by volcanic activity. At the top of the 1.5-kilometre climb, you will be rewarded with spectacular views of Praia da Luz and the cliffs surrounding the town.
Praia da Luz Beach
Many visitors come to Praia da Luz simply to spend lazy days on this beautiful stretch of white sandy beach extending the length of the town. The calm, clear waters provide safe swimming conditions for all ages, or you can take advantage of the wind for some windsurfing and kite surfing. The western end of the beach features interesting rock formations, rock pools full of small marine life, and colourful seashells for the collecting.
Lagos
A 15-minute drive from Praia da Luz is the city of Lagos, where you can enjoy a vibrant Algarve experience. Its cobbled streets are lined with unique shops to explore, as well as restaurants and cafes serving Portuguese fare, and bars and nightclubs for entertainment after the sun sets. The beaches in Lagos are regarded as some of the best on the Algarve, including the four-kilometre-long Meia Praia with its soft golden sands.
