A new type of beach with a wonderful elegant ambience

A combination of natural beauty and excellent beach facilities, Terra Estreita in Santa Luzia (on Tavira Island) offers the ultimate beach experience arising from the ‘Vida é bela’ (Life is beautiful) concept and the services offered by the Quinta das Lágrimas and Vila Galé hotels.  This ‘experience’, both innovative and revolutionary, lifts the beach holiday to a whole new level - promising luxurious comfort, unexpected pleasures and delicious cuisine.

The Experience Beach ‘vida é bela’® is the only beach in the country where the entertainment goes beyond mere beach activities and water sports.  In this small temple dedicated to leisure, you can go for a ride on a tethered balloon, have a massage, practise yoga, go to open-air cinemas, listen to live jazz, go sailing, take sushi workshops, go for nature discovery walks in the Ria Formosa, or to sunset parties – called ‘Sunset Experiences’. 

All of this is within the Ria Formosa Nature Reserve, one of the most natural, beautiful and peaceful places in the Algarve.  It is easily accessible by regular boat service, this little piece of paradise is open until 15^th September for holidaymakers who wish to enjoy the subtler pleasures of life.
