A long, open beach, a lagoon full of birds and a cluster of resorts behind the dunes — about 40 minutes west of the airport.
Salgados sits between Galé, at the western end of Albufeira, and Armação de Pêra. The resorts here are newer and more spread out than in town: apartment complexes and hotels around a golf course, a short walk from the beach and the Salgados lagoon. There is little traffic once you leave the motorway, and the driver takes you to the door of your block or reception.
Enter your luggage when you book. For a family with large suitcases, a pushchair or golf bags, choose a van rather than a car — the booking form only shows vehicles where the whole group fits.
Add your flight number when you book and we follow the landing. If the plane is late, the driver waits for it — a delay does not cost you the transfer.
Yes — book a return to Faro Airport on the same booking and choose the pickup time at your resort. Leave enough time for check-in and security; the earlier the flight, the quieter the road.
