Known as the “Maldives of Portugal”, Armona Island is a true paradise in the heart of the Algarve. 🏝️✨
Just a short boat ride from Olhão, you’ll find crystal-clear waters, beautiful beaches and stunning sandbanks that appear at low tide. ☀️🐠
⛴️ The boat journey takes just 15 to 20 minutes and, with these beautiful autumn days, it’s the perfect escape to enjoy a quieter and more peaceful side of the Algarve. 🍂☀️
Want to discover the famous sandbanks? 🌊
Simply follow the island’s main street until you reach the boardwalk, then head to the left. Make sure to check the tide times before you go — low tide is when this incredible landscape truly comes to life.
On the island, you’ll find restaurants, mini-markets, public toilets, a campsite and even a wheelchair-accessible beach. ♿🏖️
And, of course, no visit to Armona is complete without trying a traditional Bola de Berlim! 😍 We bought ours from a small market near the pier, and they were absolutely delicious.
