Olhão
Neighborhood · Olhão
Our property is set in peaceful countryside, just 10 minutes by car or 20 minutes by bike from both Olhão and Fuseta. Faro Airport is only 25 minutes away, making arrivals simple whether you’re driving or cycling in.
We’re close to the sea, with a quiet beach just 15 minutes on foot. The Ecovia Litoral cycling path runs nearby — perfect for cycling, walking, or simply enjoying nature. Along the way, you’ll see flamingo flocks and a wide variety of birdlife in the Ria Formosa.
Olhão is a lively fishing town with a strong cultural heritage. Highlights include its world-famous market — one of the best places in Portugal to try fresh seafood and local produce — and ferries that take you to pristine islands such as Armona and Culatra. Wander the cobbled streets, sample traditional cafés, or enjoy the vibrant nightlife along the waterfront.
At Bela Vista, we help you experience the Algarve beyond the ordinary. Whether it’s surfing, kitesurfing, yoga classes, boat trips, bike rentals, or stand-up paddleboarding, we’re happy to organise activities that let you explore both sea and land to the fullest.
