Beaches, bars and hustle bustle just about sum up the essence of a holiday in Armacao de Pera. Once upon a time, old Pera was a tiny village, and Armacao de Pera was the harbour – nowadays the two join together in a fun loving hug of cobbled lanes, waterfront eateries and zingy nightlife.
Alongside runs the glorious beach. And what a beach! One of the longest in Portugal, it is swathed in pale sand, with craggy cliffs standing sentry, and clear blue sea rushing up the sand to greet you. With watersports, beach bars and boat trips, you could probably spend your entire summer holiday in Armacao de Pera living it up on the beach.
Come sundown, fresh fish sizzles at the restaurants and cafés along the waterfront. Intimate restaurants beckon couples for meals under the stars in Old Pera. And the pace warms up gently at the resort's music bars and clubs.
Whether you've taken advantage of a last minute holiday for a whirl of luxury at the Vila Vita Parc Hotel, or have carefully selected somewhere like the Vila Gale Nautico for a well earned family break, Armacao de Pera will come up trumps if you like to combine a lively mood with plenty of lazy days on the beach.
This is mega beach holiday territory. This buzzing resort is a treasure box for beach lovers and families craving soft sands, calm seas and sunny days. Whilst the hamlet of old Pêra scrambles up the hillsides above, Armação has morphed from being the village’s tiny harbour into a popular resort. Along the waterfront, restaurants and cafés tussle for your attention, offering everything from fresh shellfish to international cuisine. And in the centre, more bars and shops cater for those between-beach bouts of souvenir-hunting and café-pitstops. No trip here though would be complete without some serious sunbathing on Armação’s beach. Stretching almost as far as the eye can see, this expanse of pale sands is one of the longest in Portugal - so there’s always bags of space. Better still, the beach is perfect for children’s construction work. With its gently sloping sands and clear seas, it’s great for paddling and building sandcastles. When you’re ready for refreshments, beach bars provide tingly-cold ice creams and drinks. And there’s plenty of watersports on offer for cobweb-blowing seaborne pursuits. Fringing the beach, you’ll also find beautiful rocky coves and cliff-framed bays to mix things up a bit. Why not join a boat trip to plant yourself in a peaceful cove or visit some of the pretty cliff grottoes? At sundown, expect vibrant nights of waterfront drinks and dinner followed by time spent chatting and dancing in Armação’s extrovert music bars and clubs. Or for something romantic, head for Pêra’s cobbled streets for an intimate supper under the stars.
