Our first full day explores Ria Formosa Nature Park – one of the most important wetland areas in Southern Portugal. Stretching for over 60km along the Algarve coast, this magnificent estuary is a magnet for hundreds of bird species migrating from Northern Europe to Africa plus a host of rare reptiles. This walk trails the golden sands of Ilha de Tavira – a stunning offshore island cherished for its wildlife-watching opportunities. After catching the ferry to Quatro Águas, we’ll admire the snow-coloured salt pans as we make our way back to Tavira.

This popular trail passes through the traditional villages that typify Tavira’s countryside. Along the way, we’ll enjoy far-reaching views over the Serra do Caldeirão – a gently undulating mountain range that forms the border between the Algarve and Alentejo regions. Keep your eyes peeled for sightings of the impressive Bonelli’s Eagle flying overhead. With a wingspan of up to 180cm, it’s one of the largest birds of prey on the Iberian Peninsula.

Each week there is a free day when no guided walks are offered. This is an ideal opportunity to relax around the hotel, walk independently, or visit local places of interest. Cabanas is a charming and picturesque village with a relaxed, friendly atmosphere. It’s around a 15‑minute walk from the hotel to the start of the waterfront boardwalk, which runs the full length of the seafront. The village is packed with bars and restaurants, giving you plenty of choice if you’d like to eat out, and it’s a lovely place to spend an evening strolling by the water. The hotel also provides a free‑of‑charge boat crossing to the sandy beach, making it easy to enjoy the coast (advance reservation required). 
The historic town of Tavira is nearby and well worth a visit.
