Farol

Ilha do Farol is a small community on a barrier island on the edge of the Ria
Formosa. Ilha do Farol as it’s known locally, is actually located on Ilha da Culatra. Although the names suggest they are separate islands, they are two different parts of the same 6km long island. With extensive white sandy beaches, crystal clear waters, and an incredible desert island feel it’s a fantastic day trip. The island is mostly known for its exceptional beaches, incredible water!

It’s a supremely relaxing place to spend the day on and is an incredible break from much of the usual Algarve. However, that doesn’t mean you should skip through the small village and head straight to the beach at Praia da Ilha do Farol. In the village of Farol you’ll find delightful houses, wonderful gardens and a few small coffee shops, all under the setting of the stunning lighthouse!
Farol being Portuguese word for lighthouse, has crystal clear waters, and white near tropical sand, makes this a true paradise for beach lovers.
