The kitchen is fully equipped for family meals. The HD TV has Netflix and a DVD player. Rental includes all linens and bathroom towels for 4 people, as well as final cleaning at the end of your stay.
If you’d like to bring a pet, please ask.
The seafront and village beach are only a few steps away and a 3 minute ride on the tiny ferry takes you to the fabulous island beach, part of the Rio Formosa nature reserve with miles of golden sand. Once there, you can either hire a lounger and parasol or do your own thing. There are showers, toilets and a cafe. The closest beach is right in front of our development and is overhung by cliffs as you walk away from the village.
Village restaurants are informal and friendly, serving freshly caught fish and other local dishes at very reasonable prices. A short stroll along the boardwalk brings you to the nearest supermarket and a variety of other shops and waterfront cafes.
As well as a little market selling fresh fish and vegetables, Cabanas has several small supermarkets, bakeries, butchers, and ATMs/cashpoints. You'll find plenty of cafes, restaurants and bars, but no nightclubs or discos.
Cabanas is on the Rio Formosa, a narrow lagoon between the coast and the Ilha de Cabanas, a long and uninhabited sandbar which forms the magnificent sandy beach. Boat trips from Cabanas include fishing, birdwatching and general tours of the lagoon.
A few minutes by car or bus takes you to the picturesque town of Tavira. Seven excellent golf courses are within 30 mins drive. Cabanas is approximately midway between Faro and the border with Spain.
Faro airport is 35 minutes drive from Cabanas. You can also fly to Seville, 90 minutes away. Car hire is not essential, as Cabanas is self-contained as a resort. You can get a taxi or (pre-booked) shuttle from Faro airport or we can arrange private transfers. There is a bus service into Tavira (10 minutes away) and (slow) trains run along the Algarve stopping at Conceicao, a 15 minute walk from the apartment. There are also water taxis! If you want to explore further afield or play golf, we recommend hiring a car.

Leave ReviewHome from home!
By Katrina Duncan on 17-Jun-2025Once again my family have enjoyed a weeks stay in what must be one of the best apartments in Cabanas. A wonderful position so close to restaurants and beach ferry, yet peaceful and thoroughly relaxing. The apartment is a real home from home, very spacious and very comfortable with absolutely everything you need for a relaxed week in the sun and as a base for visiting the eastern Algarve. This is the best equipped apartment we have stayed in - in terms of kitchen equipment and essentials. Alison and Dave have thought of everything and it is very much appreciated. Check-in and checkout excellent. Lots of great communication as always. We look forward to coming back again soon. Thankyou The Duncans!

Lovely apartment in a beautiful setting
By Heather Potter on 12-Sep-2024The apartment had everything we could wish for. Lots of kitchen equipment and comfy beds. Lots of nice touches. Our point of contact was excellent. We had a fabulous time. Cabanas is ultra laid back with beautiful views from the boardwalk. Many cafes, bars and restaurants all in close proximity and the Spar supermarket was a 5min walk.
Nice place for vacation!
