Things to see and do in Sao Rafael
Sao Rafael’s Blue Flag beach has been nominated as the best in Portugal, offering picturesque scenery, excellent restaurants, watersports and crystal clear waters for snorkelling and diving. If you want to see a little more, explore further around the coast where you will discover the quiet, secluded coves of Praia da Coelha and Praia do Castelo.
For more sporting activities, book a court for some tennis or try any one of the world class golf courses in the area. Walkers will enjoy the panoramic coastal views from the clifftop paths and trails, while foodies can indulge in some of the excellent Portuguese cuisine.
Top attractions
Albufeira makes a popular day-trip destination for visitors to Sao Rafael, and is just 10 minutes away by taxi. Come explore the cobbled streets and beautiful little churches, go shopping on the streets behind the marina or gaze at the pricey yachts from the waterfront bars.
The key attraction for families has to be Aqualand, again just a short 10-minute drive away by taxi. The kids will love the many corkscrew slides and waterchutes, while adults can lounge in the pool and relax.
Best restaurants
For fresh seafood that you can eat overlooking the stunning beach, you can’t do better than Os Salgados. This beachfront restaurant is one of the best in the area, making it popular among locals and visitors alike.

Types of HolidayTaxis transfer vehicles
March 31, 2023
At HolidayTaxis, we recognize that every traveler is different and may have their own preferences and requirements for their airport transfers. To accommodate this, we offer a diverse range of transfer vehicles for our customers to choose from, each with its own set of benefits and advantages.
For example, if you're traveling in a large group, our minibus or shared airport shuttle transfers might be the best option for you, as they can comfortably accommodate a larger number of passengers and their luggage. On the other hand, if you're traveling with just one or two companions, a private car may be more suitable for you as they offer a more intimate and personalised experience.
