Plaza Real Apartments

In a tranquil setting against the beautiful backdrop of some of the Algarve’s finest beaches, the Plaza Real Portimao apartments really are a delightful place to spend a holiday.

Only a short walk from both the stunning beach of Praia da Rocha and the local town of Portimao, the Plaza Real combines the best of two worlds. Not only is this the perfect place for a relaxing holiday, these apartments are also near to water sports, historical buildings, and a buzzing Mediterranean town. Truly an ideal holiday location for everyone from young couples and families to older travellers.

Location

Found on the sunny southern coast of Portugal, Plaza Real is situated in a serene little corner of one of the Algarve’s most beautiful sandy beaches (Praia da Rocha), making these apartments the perfect location for a relaxed holiday in Portugal. Just 600 metres from the beach, the Plaza Real enjoys stunning views of an idyllic Algarve seashore, as well as being close enough to the beach to stroll down in the morning. These calm and beautiful surroundings are the ideal setting in which to shake off the stresses of everyday work life back home, and really settle down for some serious rest and relaxation.

The Plaza Real is also a short walk from the resort itself, which is full of shops, bars and restaurants. Equally, a gentle stroll around the shops is just down the road from the apartments, making souvenir shopping pleasant rather than a trek! Lastly, The Plaza Real apartments are just 60 kilometres away from Faro Airport – not too long to travel when getting off of your flight.

Things To Do Nearby

Portimao is the perfect place to while away a sunny afternoon, walking around the harbour and taking in the view. For those who really enjoy the water, there’s also the chance to go on a relaxing river cruise or fishing trip.
