Come and join us in the peace and tranquility of our eco-retreat at Monte Joao Afonso in the Algarve, the sunshine coast of Southern Portugal, and experience a truly unique holiday amidst beautiful natural surroundings with its secluded countryside location in an area of Portugal's protected forestry. Tipi Algarve is perfectly situated to escape the maddening crowds of summer yet is just a few minutes away from the bustling port town of Portimão and a great choice of superb local beaches.

Tipi Algarve is the perfect setting for a very special and memorable holiday and staying in a canvas tipi will provide you with a unique 'at-one-with-nature' experience... a comfortable, low-impact, ecological and ethical holiday where you can venture out to discover the delights and treasures of this charming region of Portugal.

Tipi Algarve offers something for everyone - families on an adventure holiday or a half term break, couples sharing the seclusion of romantic getaway, friends enjoying memorable moments together basking in the sea, people seeking a healing retreat who may wish to take advantage of the complimentary therapies available.

Whether you're a surfer, walker, birdwatcher, painter, extreme sports fanatic or just want to chill out... you can do it all here in the Algarve.

Nestled in the foothills of Monchique, Tipi Algarve is only 10 mins drive from the lively town of Portimão, 12km from the historical town of Silves and just 15 mins to some of the best beaches in the Algarve. The international airport at Faro is about 45 mins drive away by new motorway so you can be off the plane and settling in before you know it!
