In Algarve, you can find some of the most beautiful rocks and caves in the world. The best known of the rock formations is the Benagil Cave (Gruta de Benagil).
It is possible to access the cave by swimming from Praia de Benagil. We do not recommend it, as the number of boats visiting the cave makes this situation very dangerous. We recommend that you rent a canoe, kayak or Stand Up Paddle at Benagil beach or one from POMAR, then go safely to the cave.
Cycling is a fantastic way to explore the nooks and crannies of the Algarve. At POMAR we provide you with 8 bicycles (for rent), which will make your trips easier. Our offer also includes thematic stays including a WORKxBIKE (contact us for more information)
The Algarve is home to some of the world’s most beautiful beaches 🙂 What makes the Algarve’s beaches so special is the enormous diversity on offer: small coves, huge beaches stretching for miles, or beaches with fabulous rock formations. For the more experienced, you can go to one of our favorite spots located praia de Bordeira or in Sagres (praia do tonel).
Whether you want to do a short 5 km run around the house on a flat path, or for a longer adventure in the hilly “climbs”, it is possible!
Climb aboard our comfortable 6-seater boat and cross the canals of the Ria Formosa Natural Park to observe wildlife and discover the villages of its 4 different islands.
We will make a stopover at Culatra Island to enjoy a traditional lunch, and relax at ilhas desertas ! 🙂
Visiting a market in Algarve is a great way to spend the day, soak up the culture, and do business at the same time !
Markets are held all over Algarve. There are monthly local markets and fixed markets every day. Like the Olhao market just 4km from POMAR, which is a popular place with local products and fresh fish.
The Algarve has beaches with excellent surfing conditions. POMAR is 15 minutes from Faro beach, which offers waves for beginners all year round. Now’s your chance to get started! For more experienced surfers, you can head to one of our favorite spots at Praia de Bordeira or Sagres (Praia do Tonel). Note to experienced surfers: we advise you to avoid the summer months, as there are few waves in the Algarve 😀
The excellent standard of the courses has enabled the Algarve to win the trophy for the best golf destination at the World Golf Awards for the last 3 years 😉
You can be sure to find offers to suit every budget and skill level, ranging from championship level Par 3 to all beginners.
The Ria Formosa is a large lagoon protected by five islands and two peninsulas close to the coast. You can see its winding waterways from the sky when you arrive in Faro.
POMAR provides you with its inflatable paddle on request. 😎
