Situated as a picturesque parish of Vila Real de Santo António, Monte Gordo, population 3,308, sprawls across an area of 4.22 km2. Circles in the sand trace back to a humble fisherman's village, which has gracefully transitioned into a vibrant holiday destination. The coast's allure isn't confined to its sun-kissed beaches, but extends into its surrounding pine woods, aromatic sand dunes, and sumptuous local seafood.

Adding a brushstroke of royalty to its canvas, Monte Gordo previously charmed the Portuguese and Spanish aristocracies prior to the Carnation Revolution. Vestiges of its regal history can be seen in the grand casino built in 1934 and Algarve's first grand hotel, Hotel Vasco da Gama, constructed in 1960. With a numerous variety of local and international dining and tavern options, Monte Gordo has a gastronomic scene to tantalise all taste-buds.

When to visit Monte Gordo

Monte Gordo, a year-round destination, offers the perfect antidote to colder climates every winter, with Northern Europeans flocking to its sunny expanses. Besides basking in the relatively warm and calm seawaters, visitors can also partake in observing the diverse wildlife at the neighbouring natural reserve Reserva Natural do Sapal de Castro Marim e Vila Real de Santo António.

Particularly during the summer months, the town pulses with energy, making advanced bookings a sage choice. The second Sunday of September marks Monte Gordo’s main festivity honouring Nossa Senhora das Dores, presenting a cultural immersion ideal for the curious traveller.

Rounding up an array of historic towns, castles, and charming villages in the vicinity to explore, Monte Gordo puts the cherry on the top of any holiday itinerary.
