Sunshine filters through your window as you blink slowly, coming to the realisation of where you are. Your other half stirs next to you. They let out a contented sigh as they roll over into the soft covers and settle back into a restful sleep. After all, if you can’t sleep in on holiday, when can you? But you feel a tug of excitement… The world outside your window awaits, and you simply can’t lie still another moment. You throw on your dressing gown, step outside, and feel the sun warm you gently as you breathe in the crisp sea air. What will the day provide?
Best Place in the Algarve for Couples
First stop: breakfast shared over excited smiles. The day is filled with promise, and you’ve yet to decide where it’ll take you. Will you head towards the beach and the glistening Atlantic meeting the horizon? You read somewhere about a walking trail that takes you over seven hanging valleys, over ochre cliffs chiselled into striking vistas. It’s the perfect weather for exploring – not too hot, not too cold – and if you take a picnic, you’ll be sure to find somewhere picturesque to rest and unwind. There’s even a heart-shaped rock at Praia da Marinha you won’t want to miss for a romantic selfie
Romance: From Horse Riding in the Algarve to Boat Tours in the Algarve
But there’s just so much to see and do… The town of Carvoeiro also looks promising. Exploring its narrow winding streets is a must, taking in each whitewashed house and colourful decoration until you reach either the edge of a cliff or golden sand. A couple of hours browsing local handicrafts, painted tiles, and ceramics might make for a lovely afternoon, which could quickly lead into a drink at a beach bar to bring the day to a close. Or how about a couple’s horse ride along the beach, providing you with moments you thought only possible in films?
Wherever you may be, whether in the town, on a clifftop, nestled with your feet in the sand, on a romantic cruise or the breezy terrace of your private villa, take a minute to watch the sunset. Standing close to your loved one, feeling them fully present in the moment as reds and oranges streak across the sky is a must, and when the light starts fading and you find yourselves pulling each other closer for warmth, you can start planning your evening.
A Romantic Evening in the Algarve
Will it involve a candlelit dinner for two overlooking lapping waves? Delighting in the freshest seafood either of you have ever tasted – including aphrodisiacal oysters, of course? Or even some live music to get you on your feet and moving as you dance the night away, your eyes meeting for a second when the first chords of that particular song ring out?
One thing’s for sure: February in the Algarve means longer days filled with the sun’s warming rays. It means romance around every corner, and if you stay at the Rocha Brava Village Resort, finding a home away from home where everything’s on your doorstep but you have the privacy to truly enjoy your time together, doing the things that make you feel most connected to the person you love most.
