Praia da Luz has pretty, cobbled streets and lots of restaurants, cafes and shops along the promenade. Its Roman ruins, thankfully saved from recent development, include the Roman bathhouse which remains open to the public during the summer. There is a relaxed, family holiday vibe in Luz and, for the more adventurous, there are a range of water sports available to book like scuba diving, water skiing and windsurfing. There are some beautiful golf courses nearby, including Penina, Palmares, Santo Antonio (formally Parque da Floresta) and Boa Vista, which can be easily accessed from our Praia da Luz villa rentals.
