Long-stay vacations in the Algarve offer sun-kissed Atlantic beaches, dramatic limestone cliffs and rich local culture, perfect for extended winter escapes. Travellers typically base themselves in well-equipped resort towns like Albufeira, Lagos or Tavira, enjoying mild, sunny weather and access to top-tier golf courses and self-catering apartments. 

This package offers two options of 1-bedroom apartment-style accommodations to choose from.

For your last and 28th night, you’ll take a train back to Lisbon and spend the night in a hotel with breakfast included before returning to Canada the following day (27 nights Algarve  and 1 night in Lisbon = 28 nights).
