Salema is a relaxing, beautiful place for a holiday. I have been many times and continually recommend it to friends as a place to visit.
For a fantastic luxury beachfront accommodation with sea views and private pool I recommend this place I stayed at; ideal for family summer activity holidays with golf, walking and adventure sports.

I've been to Salema only once, in 1997. The picture of the Boia Bar brought back memories. My wife was ill and had to hang out in our room for 3 days. I spent a lot of time at the Boia Bar killing time and having a great time with locals and other travelers.

Imagine my surprise when I open the pictures and saw the photo of the sign pointing to our favorite place In Salema.
We have been there many time when we stay in the Algarve and have watched this little town expaned over the last 10 years. My husband has spent two bithdays there walking the beach and drinking great wine.
