Rent a campervan Algarve: is it worth it?

1. Highly diverse landscapes

In this region, you will find very diverse environments:

• Sandy, paradisiacal beaches, e.g. Praia do Barril and Praia da Barrinha.
• The stunning Natural Park of Ria Formosa, where you can find wild flamingos and other birds, perfect for a walk. It is also a place where locals produce clams and oysters.
• Caves and cliffs in Lagos, Albufeira, and Alvor.
• Extensive, spacious beaches in the Natural Park of Costa Vicentina. Perfect for surfing, having long hikes on spacious beaches, watching the sunset over the ocean.
• Inland areas, including mountaintops, waterfalls, and lakes, e.g. Vigário and Pego do Inferno.

2. Unique Villages – widely dispersed

Small cities and villages make up the Algarve, each one worth exploring. However, with limited public transportation in this not-so-dense region, having your vehicle is essential for comfortable mobility. Thus, renting a campervan in the Algarve offers the convenience and freedom to explore at your own pace.

3. Pleasant Weather

The weather in the Algarve is unbelievably pleasant for travelling in a campervan. Imagine fresh nights with barbecue outside, looking at the stars, falling asleep to the sound of waves and the smell of the ocean, and listening to birds as they wake you up. Every sunset and sunrise becomes a magical experience. Even if you’re an early bird, waking up in nature, making your coffee, and enjoying an early surf or paddle session while other tourists are still asleep, is an unmatched experience.
