Ilha de Tavira is one of six barrier islands that makes up 18400 hectares of protected nature reserve along the Ria Formosa along with wetlands, mudflats and hundreds of species of plant and wildlife.

The island itself has a commercialised centre with wooden walkways and cafes, bar, restaurants as well as a camping area (no hotels on the island). I felt a bit like i'd arrived at a theme park but once you go thought this and on to the beach, its lovely. A blue flag beach, 11km of coastline, sun shades and sun beds to rent but plenty of sand to spread out a towel away from the hustle and bustle.

The island beach is only accessible by boat and there is a water taxi and ferry service that operates daily. During the summer tourist months the ferry runs from Tavira centre from the quay side near the indoor market. But in the offpeak months (even in May) you have to go to the Quatro Águas pier. (Don't be fooled by the ferry moored on the quay looking like it is waiting for passengers!)

The walk to the ferry felt long, it was probably 20 minutes of so but in the baking sun along deserted road and salt fields it felt a trek. I'd recommend getting the bus if you can work out the timetables.

Top Praia do Homem Nu Hotel Reviews

Estúdios Loreto

10/10 Excellent

"Can’t failed anything.. My second stay this month."

Monte dos Avós Village - Pets Friendly

6/10 Okay

"A nice quiet location, train station and bus stop just down the road. Apartment was clean and together although some of the cupboards in the kitchen needed lifting to close and there wasn't any cleaning supplies (washing up liquid, clothes/sponges or coffee). Had ants or some small creature that got into the kitchen and ruined the bread left out, needed to keep the kitchen spotlessly clean and food in the fridge overnight."

Stunning T2 Apartment With sea View

10/10 Excellent

"Beautiful location fronting the Ria Formosa, near restaurants, supermarkets, and beach access. The interior of property was clean and modern with all the accoutrements necessary for modern life. The few issues with the faucets were quickly resolved. Overall a great vacation was had by all."

Typical Algarve House - Fuzeta, Arrroteia "Casas carpinteiro"

8/10 Good

"Excellent beds, a/c and heating (quiet too). Good bathroom and shower.Floor was gritty and no broom was available. Neither the microwave nor the toaster oven were working properly. Lighting was rather dim.Nice compound set amongst others, far enough from the railway and road noise.Pool was closed for the winter. Use of the hot tub was an extra charge per half hour, per person,"
