Algarve voted Europe’s Leading Beach Destination 2023

Portugal has swept the board at the World Travel Awards 2023, winning the coveted awards for Europe’s Leading Destination and Europe’s Leading Beach Destination (for the Algarve coast). In total, Portugal, its regions, its islands and its businesses took home an impressive 23 awards in the European category, winning everything from Leading City Break Destination (Porto) and Leading City (Lisbon) to Leading Island Destination (Madeira Islands).

For businesses in the Algarve, providing high-quality experiences that are worthy of Europe’s leading beach destination is second nature. According to Kronos Homes, which owns and operates the Algarve’s stunning Palmares Ocean Living & Golf, luxury lifestyle benefits are core to Portugal’s tourism offering.

Alda Filipe, Sales and Marketing Director, Kronos Homes comments: “The Algarve has an incredible array of attractions with which to charm visitors. The scenery is incredible, from the misty-topped mountains and rolling greenery to the miles of golden sandy beaches set against the sparkling blue backdrop of the Atlantic. Local flavours give the region a distinctive and delicious gastronomy, while its world-class golf facilities appeal to players from across the globe."

“The Algarve’s beaches provide huge variety and are lovely to visit at this time of year, whether for picnics in the sunshine, long walks or a spot of surfing, kite surfing, swimming or paddleboarding. It’s fantastic to see the region honoured for its exceptional beaches at this year’s World Tourism Awards.”
