Falésia Beach, Algarve. Falésia Beach among the top 10 best in the world

Falésia Beach, in the Algarve, ranks 6th among the world’s best beaches

With its “rich red sand cliffs” and “a white sand beach that appears to continue on forever”, both of which lead to the “blue-green ocean”, Falésia beach in the municipality of Albufeira, on the Algarve, was voted number 6 in TripAdvisor’s annual list of the finest beaches in the world.

The Algarve beach has been a favourite of international platform users for a long time, and it is the only Portuguese beach to make the list. Compared to 2021, Falésia beach has risen 6 places.

One more thing to add to this impressive accomplishment: this beach was ranked the best among beaches in continental Europe.

A user’s comment, highlighted by TripAdvisor in a statement, says: “it’s a magnificent beach… the sun strikes the many tones of orange and yellow sand on the towering cliffs that reflect a warm colour. The sand on the beaches is a beautiful golden yellow. The water is perfect for bodyboarders and surfers since the waves pound the shore with a mild fury.

Falésia beach enjoys a prestigious location, between Albufeira and Vilamoura, close to two of the most famous tourist destinations in Portugal and some of the best golf courses in the country, like the famous Dom Pedro Old or the always popular Salgados golf course.

Falésia is often considered the most famous beach in Albufeira and attracts a huge amount of tourists every year.

Faro Airport will have new routes and destinations

The management of Portugal’s international airport Gago Coutinho (ANA), in Faro, Algarve, has revealed that this summer, the airport will offer 18 new routes to 6 new locations, and 81 connections to 71 cities.

The airport manager in Faro believes that the increased accessibility to the Algarve via flights will help to “consolidate the offer and regional and national tourism activities” during the peak season for visitors to the region.

The airline noted that the additional flights will help the “development of strategic markets”, and that “the primary issuing nations for Faro airport, United Kingdom, Ireland, and France, enhanced their supply of seats” compared to the summer of 2019.

Turismo do Algarve‘s president João Fernandes deemed this a “clear proof” of “the trust of tour operators and airlines in the Algarve destination”.

The 6 new destinations, Aarhus (Denmark), Rome (Italy), Strasbourg (France), Bilbao (Spain), and Jersey and Exeter (UK), will provide “almost 85,000 more seats” to Faro, as noted by João Fernandes, who highlighted the significance of the 18 new routes announced by ANA for the period from April to October.

In response to a question regarding whether or not the Algarve would surpass its record-breaking visitor numbers from 2019, João Fernandes said that there are encouraging signs in that direction, but that “cautious optimism” is needed, given the current economic and geopolitical situation.

The Algarve is the most famous golf holiday destination in Portugal and has some of the best golf courses in the country, like Monte Rei or Dom Pedro Old.

Madeira won EarthCheck’s Silver Award

The Regional Secretariat for Tourism and Culture announced that EarthCheck, an international certifying authority in this sector, has granted the Autonomous Region of Madeira with the Silver award, recognising it as a “sustainable tourism destination”.

Madeiran in-charge secretary Eduardo Jesus told that the award “reinforces the presentation of Madeira as a tourism destination with an emphasis on sustainable development”.

This certification, Eduardo Jesus said, is of the highest significance because it “responds to the concerns of customers” and “will have implications not just for those who visit, but also for those who reside in Madeira”.

According to Eduardo Jesus, “sustainability is a journey, a process of continual development”, which is why “every year, the region will illustrate, in its annual audit, the progress and evolution in this journey and dedication to the four pillars of sustainability: economic, environmental, cultural, and social”.

The sustainable development of the territory and the engagement of the entire local community “is a crucial step in the affirmation of Madeira as a must-visit destination at a worldwide level”, he remarked.

The Madeira Regional Secretariat for Tourism and Culture’s Directorate of Tourism began the certification procedure towards the end of July 2021.

There is more good news: within five years, the region could receive a higher level of EarthCheck certification: Gold.

Nomadays, the Madeira region has 3 spectacular golf courses: 2 in Madeira Island and 1 in Porto Santo, and counts with several outstanding and glamorous hotels. Besides golf, the main attractions of the region are the dazzling natural landscapes, the capital Funchal, and the traditional gastronomy.
