SOUTH – THE ALGARVE
Get to know the Algarve, famous for its fantastic weather all year round, golden sandy beaches and a vast range of top-quality sports facilities.
The Algarve is Portugal’s most renowned summer destination and due to its warm weather throughout the year, the region is rapidly gaining more followers who love the unique lifestyle the Algarve has to offer.
Aside from miles and miles of golden sandy beaches, a huge fan-base of the region’s 30+ golf courses and the unique lifestyle, the Algarve boasts a fantastic range of 4-star and 5-star hotels, some from international brands while others are from national and very hospitable hotel chains, along with an array of sports facilities of the highest standard.
Whether you wish to have a more private and secluded training camp in order to focus exclusively on your team’s performance and season goals, or you’re looking for a much more open camp with plenty of social and leisure opportunities, the Algarve has it all.
Further to the hotels, sports facilities and the overall outdoor appeal of the Algarve, training camps can be further complemented with relaxation in one of the region’s fantastic 5-star resort spas or even by embracing an evening sampling the region’s rich gastronomic tradition.
