☀️We love it when guests return. It means we`re doing something right🌷
This week Alison Goodwin with her league of lovable ladies returned for Alison`s May retreat.
As well as being a totally inspiring yoga teacher, Alison holds the secret recipe for effortlessly putting everyone at ease, making everybody welcome and everything easy going. She`s also an awesome chef. There was a fair bit of hiking, biking, beaching and drinking different colour wines. Some not so serious yoga happened in between…..🧘♀️#algarve #yoga #retreat #activeholiday #explore #portugal #hiking #biking #burgau #travel #wanderlust #relax

☀️Our SeaSafari in 60 seconds🏝️
The SeaSafari has become our most popular adventure and is a totally inclusive activity enjoyed by all ages and all abilities.
🦞We’ve been running SeaSafaris for 16 years, originally on the Isle of Wight, hauling up lobster pots and cruising the coast to offer a unique perspective of the untouched bays and coves.
Both the Island and South West Portugal have tremendous coastlines in common. Here in Lagos, we are blessed with turquoise pools, skylit caves, deserted islands and lagoons to lounge the day away. With more than 300 days of sun, it’s easy to be on, in or under the ocean.
We offer scheduled trips as well as bespoke half to full day private charters which are perfect for larger groups or special occasions.
Thanks to @procamfilms for capturing our favourite ocean experience. Ocean Adventures are for everyone🙌 #lagos #lagoswhat2do #travel #algarve #burgau #boats #lagosmarina #portugal #wanderlust #lagosalgarve #getyourguide #postcardsfromtheworld #boats @cheetahmarine @procamfilms @drivingmiss_daisea

🌿If you prefer to while away the days by the pool or wander to the beach you’re in the perfect place.🌺
🕶️Perched on top of the hill you’ll enjoy the best sunrises and sunsets, spectacular coast & country views and a dazzling 40ft pool☀️
Spend your days lazing on the terraces or hide away in one of our little leafy spots in the gardens.
The beach and village are a 10 minute walk and the bar and bbq area are open all hours.
It’s your holiday, do as much or as little as you like. #portugal #algarve #travel #villa #active #adventure #burgau #surf #instagood #thetravelblog #nature

☘️March 1st already☀️Spring starts and we wish Happy birthday to our fellow adventurer @izzy_engelhardt Here, she’s casually enjoying the world class, west coast sunset at the end of our latest video.
60 seconds of Why we 💙 the west coast
For the nearby, faraway feel, natural parks, perfect beaches, barefoot bars & winding rivers. Once you’ve been, you can’t help wanting more of its intoxicating, wild charm. #portugal #algarve #travel #surf #nature #thetravelblog #travellifestyle #travelphotography #instagood #sunset #love #bordeirabeach #viladobispo #activeholiday

👣☀️How do you want to explore?🦋🌴
Off the beaten track away from the crowds, leaving tarmac for the trails?
On our small group bike rides, we take you to the raw hidden gems, whitewashed villages tucked away in the hills, tumbledown forts, meandering valleys where the hillsides are dotted with pine trees, the forest feels like you’re in another world and the villages take you to another time. Drink coffee in cafes where it’s impossible to spend 5 euros and watch sunsets you’d remember a lifetime for.
We will route to suit your group, whether you want to amble along country lanes, try the trickier sundowner loop or cruise valleys out to the wild west coast. Remember, the best routes are those that are hard to find. Tell us where and when you want to go, we will guide and advise. Our bikes are Specialized Mountain bikes, perfect for the terrain in the western Algarve and fun for exploring off the map.
Another shout out to the shooters of our 60 second adventure series: @procamfilms for this incredible footage, riding the trails and always being one step ahead of the game to get the best shots. 60 seconds to show you why we’re so passionate about what the Western Algarve has to offer and how we can share these amazing places with you. 💙 @procamfilms @quintaflowers @shootingtales @sup_surf_kite #travel #explore #goexplore #findyouradventure #travelgram #seekadventure #algarve #portugal #lagoswhat2do #burgau #algarveportugal #visitportugal #bike #mtb #bikeholiday #activeholiday

☀️Our second instalment on our 60 second adventures we play Glide and Seek🐚
Stand up paddleboarding is possibly the closest we’ll get to walking on water, granting freedom to explore between secluded beaches and bays, barely accessible even in a little boat.
With nature at play, this location is all about timing. When the conditions are right, the rugged wave swept coastline transforms into a serene world of crystal clarity. Hundreds of seabirds perched on the craggy outcrops watch as we paddle past rocky pinnacles, between azure grottos and through caves and caverns.
Paddling inside, the water turns translucent turquoise where the sun filters through giant skylights like eyes to the sky.
We wait for perfect conditions. With even a little wave, it’s a different world and a constant reminder that nature is boss. Again; thanks to @procamfilms for scaling seamounts, launching the drone from 10ft sups and flying through skylights to get the best shots. #sup #standuppaddle #activeholiday #burgau #algarve #wanderlust #travel #redpaddleco #bloggerlife #travellifestyle #workabroad #travelbug #takethescenicroute

☀️🌵Introducing OceanBlue’s 60 seconds of Adventure. We’ve made 6 short stories, exploring some of the activities on offer from our little hideaway on the hill🌳☀️
🐟On our first 60 second adventure we walk and swim the beautiful south. Baby blue skies, aquarium clear waters, spinning shoals. Only us and our two towels above the tide line. 🏝️
The old fishermen’s routes form a myriad of trails connecting our hilltop with craggy cliffs, leafy valleys, and quiet coves eventually linking villages, shady lunch stops and perfect swim spots.
Thanks to @procamfilms, amazing footage, impeccably capturing why we are spellbound with this perfect parcel of Portugal.
