Curious about the best time to visit the Algarve? It really depends on your travel preferences. Personally, I prefer to steer clear of large crowds and go for the pleasant temperatures and Algarve sunshine during spring and fall. Discover the best months to explore this paradise. 👇
April
This time of year is incredibly green and beautiful. The weather can be somewhat unpredictable but is generally warm enough for wearing a t-shirt, relaxing by the pool, engaging in outdoor activities, and even lounging on the beach. The ocean is certainly chilly during this month. Swimming in it is, let's say... quite refreshing! 😉 While daytime can offer beach-friendly weather, April remains fairly mild. Be sure to pack for various weather conditions. Bring a bikini but also a jumper and maybe a light jacket! Evenings and mornings can be a little chilly. Look for sheltered beaches like Praia dos Treês Irmãos for the best beach days!
Average temperature: 18-21 degrees (much warmer during daytime)

May
The landscape remains green and the weather is at (in my opinion) its best. Not too hot, but definitely beach weather! Still not too many tourist around but a nice balance of people wandering in the towns, visiting bars and restaurants and having some coziness around!
Average temperature: 22-24 degrees (usually feels lots warmer)
Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
June
A lovely time to visit. Still not too many tourists around and absolutely lovely weather! Perfect if you are a sun lover and enjoy spending days at the beach! Daytime can be quite warm and evenings are perfect for eating out and enjoying you drink outside on the terrace under the palmtrees.
Average temperature: 25 degrees

September
High season has ended and the weather is still amazing. Usually not super intens hot temperatures like in august, but still nice and warm. It's still beach weather in September for sure and the water temperature is at its best as the long warm summer has heated the water up to 20 degrees! 😉 The flowering bougainvillea is absolutely gorgeous at this time of year.
Average temperature: 27 degrees

October
I love escaping cold north-western European weather in October! As soon as the dark fall days start coming up, I'm out of there! October is a lovely month to travel. The clear starry nights and beautiful moonrises are my favorite in October. Together with the beautiful blossoming bougainvillea and great surf this time of year, October is probably my favorite time to travel to the Algarve.
