Carvoeiro: the preserved charme of the Algarve

Carvoeiro. The name alone invites you to escape. Nestled on the Algarve's golden coast, this village of unspoilt charm seems suspended between the sky and the sea. Its cliffs sculpted by the wind and the ocean, the secret coves and the lanes lined with white houses create a picture-postcard setting. But behind this almost unreal beauty lies a fascinating story.

Its name, derived from the Arabic ‘Carboiere’, means precisely ‘fishing village’, a heritage that can still be felt in the atmosphere. A former fishing village, Carvoeiro survived for a long time on sardine and tuna fishing. But this paradise wasn't always peaceful. In the 16th century, it was the target of feared privateers. One of the most memorable episodes dates back to 1544, when Pedro da Cunha's troops defeated the famous Turkish privateer Xarramet. Today, only the stories of those battles remain, told over a couple of glasses of vinho verde on a seafront terrace.

What makes Carvoeiro such a special place is its perfect balance between wild nature and refined quality of life. Its imposing cliffs offer breathtaking panoramas, especially at Algar Seco, an impressive set of caves and rock formations where time seems to stand still. Here, the intense blue of the Atlantic contrasts with the ochre of the cliffs in an unforgettable visual spectacle.

But Carvoeiro is not just a dream setting, it's also an unrivalled lifestyle. The town centre, lively but without losing its authenticity, is full of restaurants where you can enjoy freshly grilled fish accompanied by a glass of local wine. The coastal paths, such as the famous ‘Boardwalk’, invite contemplation. And for those seeking even more serenity, the region's secret beaches are true paradisiacal hideaways.

It's no wonder that more and more people are falling in love with Carvoeiro and want to make it their home. With its authenticity, mild climate and stunning landscapes, this village has everything it takes to be the ideal getaway.
