For many reasons, the Algarve is the most popular destination for touring teams. The spectacular scenery and beaches attract visitors from far and wide. In 2019, Albufeira was given the honour of having one of the best beaches in the world – Tripadvisor ranked the stunning Falesia beach at Olhos de Agua at number 11. The mix of traditional and modern makes the area a perfect base for overseas bowls teams to have great games of bowls, but also to enjoy a great holiday in excellent hotels in spectacular locations.

The Algarve’s remarkable history, visible throughout the region through its architecture and attractions is just another reason why clubs love visiting the region. The climate also makes the Algarve a great attraction for touring teams – whether you go on your tour when the season has finished or before it starts, the chances are you’ll be playing your matches in beautiful warm weather. Combining old world charm with high end hotels and facilities, the Algarve ticks every box for a perfect overseas tour, which sees teams going back year after year.
