The Algarve is blessed with everything necessary for the perfect holiday: a fantastic climate, clean seas, a profusion of soft golden beaches and abundant sporting facilities, including a large number of world class golf courses. In its eastern part, with a remarkably mild climate and year round sun, lies the town of Olhão, with its interesting fish market and picturesque historic centre, only 15 km away from Faro International Airport.

In front of Olhão’s leisure marina, overlooking the spectacular Ria Formosa Natural Park, is the brand new 5 star Real Marina Hotel & Spa. The Formosa Estuary is a fascinating protected natural environment; a haven for beautiful flora and fauna, especially migratory birds. Ever-changing labyrinths of canals, lagoons and small isles are sheltered from the ocean by sandy barrier islands. The park also features another unusual attraction: dog lovers won’t want to miss the kennels that ensured the survival of the Portuguese Water Dog, now perhaps better known as the Obama Dog.

But the beaches are of course the main attraction. In only minutes the regular boat service carries passengers across the estuary to some of the Algarve’s most interesting and beautiful beaches on the barrier islands. The location in the natural park means they are completely unspoilt and the golden sand and sun, blue sky and sea and the feeling of isolation create an idyllic desert island atmosphere. All of this with the comfort of knowing that your inviting room is only a short boat ride away.
