That is the most effective seashore in Europe, and it is in Portugal

Falésia Beach, in the Algarve, has claimed the coveted title of the world’s best beach for 2024. This recognition underscores a growing trend among travelers who prioritize sustainability and natural allure in their destinations.

Located in the scenic beauty of Portugal’s Algarve region, Praia da Falésia stands out with its mesmerizing combination of white sands and vibrant cliffs. Renowned for offering picturesque walks and sunbathing opportunities, it has ascended from sixth place in 2023 to clinch the top position this year.

Tripadvisor users, entranced by its “dramatic cliffs, golden sands, and sparkling blue waters,” overwhelmingly voted Falésia Beach as the epitome of coastal splendor. The Traveler’s Choice Awards, bestowed annually by Tripadvisor, honor destinations that consistently receive exceptional ratings and reviews from users over 12 months. This distinction is awarded to less than 1% of the site’s eight million listings, marking Falésia Beach’s achievement as truly exceptional.

Praia da Falésia stands out not only for its pristine coastline but also for its unwavering commitment to sustainability. Adjacent to the beach, a natural park safeguards its unspoiled beauty, providing a haven for local flora and fauna. Stretching from Albufeira’s Olhos d’Água neighborhood to the west and bordering Vilamoura to the east, this remarkable coastline boasts a unique feature. While essentially the same beach, its narrower western end goes by the name Praia do Barranco das Belharucas.

Despite being situated in the most touristy part of the Algarve, Praia da Falésia retains its untouched allure, with minimal development directly on its sandy shores and delicate clay cliffs. Away from the immediate beach area, several resorts, hotels, and beach clubs offer accommodation options, including renowned establishments like the Anantara Vilamoura Algarve Resort, The Residences at Victoria, and the Domes Lake Algarve Autograph Collection.
