Monte Gordo

Come and see Monte Gordo!

Monte Gordo is an accessible and charming destination, where every road leads to a piece of paradise.
If you’re traveling by car, take the EN125 or the A22, always with the sea to accompany you.
By train, Vila Real de Santo António station is just a few minutes away.
For those coming from afar, you have a choice of two airports: Faro Airport, about an hour away, or Seville Airport, about 1.5 hours away, both offering a smooth arrival in the heart of the Algarve.
Whatever your route, Monte Gordo awaits you with a stunning beach and the charm of an unforgettable destination.

Monte Gordo beach

The colorful boats and their handmade fishing gear are part of the Monte Gordo beach landscape.

The raised walkways guide the visitor along the wide dune cordon to the extensive fine sand and warm waters.
The warm, dry and bright environment, the result of its privileged location close to the River Guadiana and benefiting from the warm currents of the Mediterranean, means that it has the mildest temperature in southern Europe.

In the central sector of the beach is the lively promenade with hotels, bars, terraces, gardens, seating areas, parking lots and even a casino.

Located to the south of two protected environmental areas, the Castro Marim and Vila Real de Santo António Marshland Nature Reserve and the VRSA National Coastal Dunes Forest, Monte Gordo Bay is one of the Algarve’s most popular tourist resorts.

Town of Monte Gordo

A former fishing village, Monte Gordo underwent major development in the 1960s, becoming a pioneer in the history of Algarve tourism with the construction of one of the first hotels in the region, the Hotel Vasco da Gama.
