Property for Sale in Quarteira

Quarteira is a resort town on the south coast of Portugal between upmarket Vilamoura and affluent Vale de Lobo. It’s typically a more affordable area than its luxury neighbouring towns but isn’t without natural beauty. 

Quarteira is a vibrant place year-round for both tourists and locals. In fact, the famous Aquashow waterpark is just a few kilometres away and in the summer seasons, Quarteira beach becomes extremely popular. 

The weather in Quarteira is typical of the Algarve – balmy Mediterranean summers and pleasant, not cold, winters. Year-round the area enjoys a sea breeze due to its proximity to the coast and Quarteira averages around 300 days of sun a year, compared to a measly 126 in London, UK.

Quarteira is known for offering the “best-of-both worlds” to Algarve residents. It is equipped with all the amenities you’d need to get by and always has something going on, which brings a community aspect to life in Quarteira. The harbour and beach are the main centres of commerce in Quarteira. The further away from the coast, the quieter it gets, so if you’re looking to enjoy the quiet life, have a look at inland Algarve homes today.

The area hosts daily vegetable markets on the harbour, where there’s also a fish market six days a week – perfect for making fresh seafood dishes – a Portuguese favourite. Another popular attraction is the weekly flea market which takes place every Wednesday in town and is popular among locals and tourists alike.

Quarteira is located just 30 minutes from Faro Airport, the primary airport that serves the Algarve. This makes the area exceedingly popular with holiday home buyers or those buying investment properties. There is a reliable bus network in Quarteira but the same cannot be said for trains, which don’t serve the area. 

Overall, Quarteira is a place to find everything you’d ever need. It’s not glitzy and glamorous like many of the other touristy resorts on the Algarve and you could say it exudes a more authentic Portuguese feel.

While there are many holiday homes in the area, Quarteira is never quiet, and while off-peak seasons are slightly quieter, it’s never deserted. Search for property for sale in Quarteira if you’re after a laidback, down-to-earth life in a traditional Portuguese town.
