About Salema - presentation, information, photos and recommendations

The pretty village centre of Salema is a pleasure to stroll around at any time – day or evening. Eating out in Salema is always a memorable experience, with several fabulous restaurants catering for all tastes, including seafood, of course. There’s plenty of choice, with a fine dining restaurant befit for the most special of occasions even said to be amongst the Algarve’s finest eateries. There’s a small selection of boutiques, shops, cafés and a weekly market. For those in search of a nightcap, two or three low-key cocktail bars stay open until the early hours, with a warm, friendly welcome and fun guaranteed.

The large half-mile-long beach in Salema, with its sugar-fine, golden sand, has a Blue Flag certification, meaning that it meets high standards for water quality and safety. The crystal-clear waters, free from strong waves and seaweed is ideal for swimming. At either end of the beach are quiet, secluded coves below gentle cliffs. Among the limestone rocks at the western end close to the Simply Salema villa collection, you’ll find – amazingly – large fossilised dinosaur footprints, discovered in 2001 by geologists from Lisbon University. A must-see during your holiday in Salema.
