Why visit Burgau

Burgau is a quiet little coastal village, ideal for relaxing and popular with all types of holiday makers looking for a chilled out break in the sun. There is a small selection of bars and restaurants, beautiful seaside walks and, of course, some stunning beaches.

Things to do

The best way to discover Burgau’s hidden gems is on foot, with an afternoon wander through its labyrinth-like backstreets and white washed houses. As you head further southwest, you’ll find the little chapel of Nossa Senhora da Guadalupe and the pretty coastal towns of Raposeira and Vila do Bispo. Continue on to Europe’s most southwesterly town, Sagres, which offers stunning sea views and is a popular spot for windsurfing.

Closer to Burgau, couples and families can try some of the excellent water sports facilities at Beach Hut Watersports, located in Praia de Luz. Or, why not take a boat excursion along the coast. Lagos zoo is just nearby, when the whole family can enjoy watching the 120 different animal species. Lagos itself is a great day trip from the resort, where there is lots to do, as well as plenty of restaurants and beaches.

Popular restaurants

A hidden treasure and must-try during your visit, Burgau Beach Bar is a family-run restaurant serving excellent food at great prices. It also offers wonderful views out over the ocean. Out of town, the Blue Wave Beach Bar is a popular choice for meals at any time of the day, and has a good cocktail menu. Restaurant Fortaleza da Luz, at the nearby resort or Praia da Luz, is another lovely restaurant that serves delicious local food and has a great atmosphere.

When to go

The weather can be very hot during the busy summer months of July and August, ideal for couples looking for sun but not the best time to visit for families with small children. Travel out of season to enjoy the lower prices and more comfortable temperatures, or pay a visit later in the year for some winter sun.

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.
