Cabanas has everything needed for a relaxing holiday in one of the most beautiful and unspoilt parts of the Algarve. Our spacious, newly-built apartment on a small, high-quality development has sea views, good, comfortable and stylish furniture and all mod cons. The seafront and village beach are only a few steps away and a 3 mins ride on the tiny ferry takes you to the fabulous island beach, part of the Rio Formosa nature reserve but with cafe/amenities and miles of golden sand. Village restaurants are informal and friendly, serving freshly caught fish and seafood and other local dishes at very reasonable prices. A fresh produce market, supermarket and a variety of small shops and waterfront cafes are all within easy walking distance. If you want to explore the area, Cabanas is a few minutes drive or bus ride from the lovely town of Tavira and only half an hour from Faro or the border with Spain. 7 excellent golf courses are within 30 mins drive.

Accessibility
Not suitable for wheelchair users, as the apartment is on the first and second floors of a 3 storey building.
Outside
Being on 2 levels, the apartment has plenty of outside space. The furnished balcony on the first floor looks out to sea and is ideal for outdoor meals for up to 6 people. A wheeled barbeque and large parasol are also provided. The roof terrace has sea views and is equipped with sunloungers and drying racks.
Coast/Beach
Cabanas is on the Rio Formosa, a narrow lagoon between the coast and the Ilha de Cabanas, a long uninhabited sandbar which forms a magnificent sandy beach. Small ferry boats go from the waterfront 2 minutes walk from the apartment and take less than 5 minutes to cross. Once there, you can either hire a lounger and parasol or do your own thing. There are showers, toilets and a cafe. The closest beach is right in front of our development and is overhung by cliffs as you walk away from the village.
Golf
Benamor - 5 mins. Not the longest, but a decent test, a few quirky holes. Quinta da Ria - 10 mins. Great views out to sea, and inland to the mountains. Good quality course. Slightly easier than its sister course. Quinta de Cima - 10 mins. High quality championship course, plenty of sand and water to contend with. Monte Rei - 15 mins. Arguably the finest course on the Algarve. A Jack Nicklaus signature course opened in 2007, everything oozes quality. Quinta do Vale - 30 mins. New Seve Ballesteros-designed course, also opened in 2007. Close to Gaudiana river, excellent course. Castro Marim - 30 mins. Relatively short, but quite hilly and picturesque, with views over to Spain. Also a 9 hole course: Colina Verde - 20 mins. Other courses in e.g. Vilamoura, Quinta do Lago, Spain, etc. are accessible within 45 mins.
Travel
Faro airport is 35 minutes drive from Cabanas. You can also fly to Seville, 90 minutes away. Car hire is not essential, as Cananas is self-contained as a resort. Get there and back by taxi from Faro.
