Spacious, golden beaches
Situated on the Algarve coastline, Montechoro has several beaches you can visit, with the nearest being Praia da Oura, known locally as ‘Golden Beach’. This is a big stretch of golden sand where groups of mates, couples and families with kids can relax and enjoy the sea and sunshine. Surrounded by sandstone cliffs, its sheltered location makes it as one of the most popular beaches in the area.
If you’d like somewhere a bit quieter where you can relax and just chill out, head for Aveiros beach. This small, secluded cove surrounded by cliffs in the neighbouring Sao Joao area offers the perfect out-of-the-way spot.

There’s a choice of family-friendly pubs and bars that serve food where you can hang out and have some dinner with the kids, while there are also a great selection of All Inclusive holidays to Portugal available for those wanting to take the guesswork out of dining.

There are sports bars where you can play pool and keep up with the latest sporting events while you’re away. You can find live music, karaoke, DJs playing the latest tunes and anthems, theme nights, plenty of drinks offers and lots of all-night party fun.
If this isn’t enough for you, you’ll find the hub of the region’s nightlifein the neighbouring town of Albufeira. It’s just a 10-minute taxi ride to get to Albufeira town from Montechoro so you’ll be able to have a taste of the nightlife on offer in both towns.
