The Algarve region has many paradisiacal places. When it comes to marking a hotel for the holidays, there are those who prefer a bedroom with sea view, but there are also those who have a preference for an apartment with a view city or Vista Serra. It is said that there are accommodation for all tastes in the Algarve, but the truth is that there is a particular place much sought by tourists and where there is no single hotel.
In this place of the Algarve, mass tourism does not exist and it is most likely to continue not to exist because there are no hotels. There is a quiet life there, no cars and carbon emissions. On foot or by bicycle, on the island that is seen from Olhão, it is circulated by the stone crosswalks built over the sand. We are talking about Armona Island, one of the few places in the Algarve where the noise of cars is replaced by the sounds of nature.
To get to the island you will have to catch the boat in Olhão
If you want to visit Armona Island, just take the boat out of Olhão and travel a section of Ria Formosa until you reach the island’s pier. The trip takes about 15 minutes and the schedules vary depending on the time of year. While in the colder months there are not many boats, during the summer, the time is extended.

Anyway, if you want to visit the island without worrying about schedules, be aware that you can opt for Taxi boats instead of the public career. It is that the first ones make the journey between Olhão and Armona as they want. However, the ticket value is higher than that of public career.
There are no hotels, but there is a campsite
As for the accommodation, what is known is that many tourists look for Armona Island to make a vacation, however, there are no hotels on the island. There is always the option of renting a full house through Airbnb, for example, or staying overnight in the campsite, which has already been distinguished by the Spanish press as one of the “most original in the world”.
It is 200 meters from the beach and has at its disposal Bungalows, both for two people and for four or even five guests. The space opens on February 28th and is available for reservations until October 12th. With regard to prices, count to spend at least 178 euros at a two -night stay for two people in March. Already in summer, the value of stays rises significantly.
