It is hoped that the holiday resorts of Algarve are set to attract more numbers of Britons this year than any other year. Some of the unique features getting this destination to the limelight are the long and diverse coastline of Portugal, its laidback lifestyle and a warm climate. With all this and much more, Algarve remains the popular destination for families and couples to enjoy a sunny break.

Jon Pearce, Holidays-Direct.co.uk personnel observed, "With some of Europe's most attractive and cleanest golden, sandy beaches, exceptional landscapes and year round sunshine, the Algarve is quite rightly a holiday hot spot for British tourists looking for some sun. The Algarve's lively nightlife, café culture and family orientated attractions make this the perfect destination for everyone. The increased interest our customers are showing in the Algarve reflects that the place not only offers many things to do, but is also a relatively cheap holiday option."
