Villa Vale a Pena

We rented this entire set of resort apartments to hang out with all of you! There's a pool, big social area, communal kitchen, and each apartment has its own kitchen and a bathroom per bedroom. It's close-ish to the beach and amazing coastal hikes, and there's plenty of parking. Come hang out in paradise with us!

Flight

Lisbon vs Faro

Lisbon is a 3hr drive from Carvoeiro and Faro is 45min. Flying into Lisbon will reduce your airport/airplane travel time as well as the price of your flights. Lisbon is likely the best option if you intend to rent a car. If you fly into Faro, it'll likely add a layover. If you're not renting a car, definitely schedule a transfer ahead of time, see the other transportation note. Tap Air Portugal (linked) appears to be the cheapest airline to either airport from the US.
