We have enjoyed this area five times in 10 years. The beach is excellent and there are plnety of restaurants to choose near the beach, with snacks to meals catered for. The prices reflect the beach front location, however. The town offers all you need; supermarkets, restaurants, banks and post office for paying motorways tolls, too! Visit beore or after... More

Wow, a traffic free promenade in front of some super apartments with uniterupted views of the beach. Restaurant Galley must have best terrace views anywhere. Plenty of car parking ( except August ! )

I stayed in a 3 bedroom apartment at the Baia da Luz beach resort ,from the 2nd to the 15th of October-2011. This large and beautifully presented Apartment had 3 balconies -with views over some old local houses, across fields, towards the feature cliff and a sea view on the left. The weather was a fantastic -29 to 31 degrees... More

Quite an easy walk for any one who can walk 60 - 75 mins with an up and over hill, although mainly flat. Mainly on the cliff top starting from the Bull pub beside the Church, follow the road and continue onto the track, with new apartments along side for some half hour. From here the track has been resurfaced... More

Luz is a compact town with a lovely beach and all amenities. The rocks afford good fishing and the accommodation via all villa owners is second to none. We had a private villa with a pool about 10 minutes walk from the shops and bars which was ok but if I went again I would hire a small car. We... More

Just back from praia da Luz, or as my daughter refers to it "Praia da Snooze". Being our first visit to the this part of the Algarve we were suprised by it;s lack of atmosphere. It,s very British in parts and in places does not feel like a holiday abroad. We were also taken aback by the cost of eating... More

Our first visit to Praia la Luz and a great place to really relax. Maybe best described as a property developer’s idea of what a small fishing village should become - in that most buildings and roads have been constructed within the last 20 years and there’s not a fisherman in sight! None the less the atmosphere is well suited... More
