With so many magical locations to choose from, you'll be spoilt for choice.

So you've checked out all the reasons to get married in the Algarve and you've decided that it's the right destination for you, great choice! Now all you need to do is find the perfect venue. There are so many possibilities we thought you may need a little help. So, to get you started, here are our top 10 suggestions for your Algarve wedding.

Benagil Sea Cave - a little off the wall

If you're looking for an out-of-the-box idea to add to the your whole wedding experience, how's this for an unconventional location - a secret sea cave, accessible only by boat!

The Benagil Sea Cave is probably the Algarve's most iconic cave. It offers amazing natural beauty and it's just a short boat ride from the beach at Benagil, a small typically Portuguese village between Carvoeiro and Armação de Pêra

The cave is a massive dome-shaped hollow with a large opening at the top, set on a smooth golden beach. The cave is lined with layers of sedimentary limestone that has built up over millions of years. The sun streams through the cave's opening, while the ocean flows in through the cave's two mouths, creating a magical grotto, a magnificent and truly memorable romantic setting.

Getting to the cave can be as stylish or as unusual as you want it to be by yacht, catamaran, speedboat or even kayak. There's plenty of excellent accommodation and many top class restaurants in the area too, so organising the whole shebang wont be difficult.
Note: it is not permitted for boats to drop people off in the Benagil cave. However, people do take kayaks and SUP boards to access the cave. 
So, if you're looking for that bare-foot vibe and a very small and private vow ceremony, this could be it.

It is an amazing place to see and you should add a boat trip to your wedding fun plans. A day at sea, and a beach BBQ is perfect for the Day After party.
