Something Special
Sweep the one you love off their feet and out to sea. To enjoy on Valentine’s Day or to save for later, a sunset cruise along the Algarve coast is something special.

Stay onland but off-road with a fun sunset Jeep Safari.

The sunset safari gives you amazing sunset views from elevated points in the Algarve hills, a beautiful panorama sloping down towards the coast. Includes dinner at a countryside restaurant.

Love Adrenaline
If love is a leap of faith, then say “I love you” by jumping out of a plane together. Now, that’s a Valentine’s Day experience to remember. Skydive Algarve, Alvor, offer amazing Tandem jumps where, following briefing and training, you get to jump out of a plane at 10.000ft, securely strapped to your instructor.

A Gift that Endures
Art is a thoughtful and enduring gift to offer your favourite person. Each piece of art is in itself unique and choosing a piece to offer as a gift makes it personal and makes the recipient feel very special. ArtCatto, in Loulé has some beautiful pieces by international artists, such as the piece below by Dom Pattison. LiR Gallery in Lagoa is a wonderful gallery to browse, set above the workings of the local wine co-op. You can shop at the gallery or at their online shop.
