Loule sits slightly inland in Portugal's Algarve, a genuine market town that offers a more authentic side of the region alongside easy access to the famous coast. For UK couples and families it is an appealing mix of real Portuguese life, golf and luxury resort comfort.

The setting among rolling hills gives Loule a different character from the beach resorts, while the Algarve's sunshine and sandy coastline are never far away.

Where to stay in Loule

Viceroy at Ombria Algarve is a five-star luxury hotel within the Ombria resort development in Loule, a comfortable and upmarket base set in the countryside above the coast.

Getting there and when to go

Most UK package holidays fly into Faro, with a short transfer inland to Loule. The Algarve enjoys a long, warm season, with hot summers and mild, sunny spring and autumn months that are ideal for golf and exploring as well as the beach.

Beaches and resorts

While Loule itself is inland, the Algarve's celebrated sandy beaches and clear water are within easy reach by car. This lets you combine a peaceful countryside base with beach days whenever you fancy them.

Food and things to do

Loule is known for its traditional market and its strong food and craft heritage, with restaurants serving fresh fish, grilled meats and local wines. The surrounding area offers golf, countryside walks and the wider Algarve to explore.

Who it suits

Loule suits couples after a peaceful, characterful base, golfers and families who like the idea of authentic town life with luxury comfort and beaches a short drive away.
