Monte Branco is situated in Albufeira, Algarve. Albufeira, is one of the prettiest coastal towns of the Algarve. Located in the district of Faro, Albufeira was once a moorish fortress and fishing village, but has been brought into the 21st century as a thriving travel destination without losing its historical charm. The surrounding coast is rich in sheltered sandy bays with turquoise clear water, ideal for sunbathing, swimming and snorkelling. In the daytime, you can explore the ancient caves, accessible by boat, where you can even find some of the local sea life. During the evening, Albufeira is the perfect location for vibrant nightlife along with its many restaurants and bars.

Vilamoura, is a pretty pine-forest area of the Algarve with sandy beaches, marina and many golf courses. The region is now environmentally protected making it a very special location for a holiday. Its southern border is lined by a long sandy beach and called Praia da Falésia and here you will find a selection of water sports and activities. Also within the Vilamoura area are four golf courses, a vibrant marina, a tennis and sports club, an excellent riding school, a shooting club, cinema and a varied selection of restaurants and bars.

Praia Saint Rafael, also known as St Raphael Beach, is one of the most beautiful beaches in the area of Albufeira. The soft fine sand is 'kissed' by clear warm water and is bordered by unusual limestone rock formations, shaped by the wind and sea over the centuries. For those who are looking for a secluded location, several small coves are hidden between the craggy formations. The beach has been awarded a prestigious 'Blue Flag'.

Armacao de Pera, known locally as the 'old town', is a traditional fishing village with one of the finest sweeping sandy beaches - which has been completely protected from any development. The beach is bordered (west side) by the delightful caves 'Senhora da Rocha and Porches'; the red cliffs above the caves topped by green pines are a spectacular sight. Set behind the beach are excellent restaurants. In the town you will find shopping and numerous bars and cafes.
