Alternative to Praia da Luz

[LM26]

Hi,

Heading to Portugal this September with my husband and 1 year old daughter.

Want to avoid the larger towns such as Albufeira, Praia da Rocha etc.

Was in Praia da Luz before and really liked there but want somewhere different to explore however looking for a similar type place to it i.e. nice beach, variety of restaurants and family friendly.

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Thanks!

+1 for Lagos. It would be quite like Praia da Luz with nice restaurants.

Vilamoura and take the clubs. The kids will enjoy caddying

Alvor is a great place and very family friendly , everyone that goes there always returns

Sometimes you need to look at things differently not just through the Steiner goggles.

Here are a few places named Dublin. Believe it or not it is possible to have the same name in different places.

Dublin, Montgomery, Alabama, USA
Dublin, Graham, Arizona, USA
Dublin, Logan, Arkansas, USA
Dublin, Alameda, Californa, USA
Dublin, Bladen, North Carolina, USA
Dublin, Lake, Florida, USA
Dublin, Laurens, Georgia, USA
Dublin, Wayne, Indiana, USA
Dublin, Graves, Kentucky, USA
Dublin, Harford, Maryland, USA
Dublin, Manistee, Michigan, USA
Dublin, Coahoma, Mississippi, USA
Dublin, Cheshire, New Hampshire, USA
Dublin, Seneca, New York, USA
Dublin, Franklin, Ohio, USA
Dublin, Mahoning, Ohio, USA
Dublin, Bucks, Pennsylvania, USA
Dublin, Fulton, Pennsylvania, USA
Dublin, Huntingdon, Pennsylvania, USA
Dublin, Erath, Texas, USA
Dublin, Pulaski, Virginia, USA

I think there are about 5 different places named Lagos.

I'm very familiar with Alvor. Send me a PM if you have any questions or have a look at the Alvor forum on TripAdvisor.

Any recommendations for a good one bedroom apartment for a weeks rent?

ParkLane what are your requirements for the apartment and complex?
Double bed or twin beds? Two or four people?
Would suggest Luzcar as car hire would be necessary have used them over 15 times to date.
Have a look at Marina Park, Lagos, and the excellent Meia Praia beach.
