Falésia Beach, in Olhos de Água, has been chosen as 'best beach in the world' by Tripadvisor users, the largest travel platform in the world.
After being voted in sixth place in the ranking last year, Praia da Falésia, which stretches along more than six kilometres of the Algarve coastline with beautiful ochre-colored sandstone cliffs, characteristic of the region, has won the preferences of travellers worldwide.
The 'best beach in the world' is awarded annually by Tripadvisor to tourist destinations that receive the highest number of exceptional reviews and opinions over a period of 12 months.
The Algarve's Praia da Falésia was distinguished for its enormous beauty, recognized by thousands of users of the Tripadvisor platform, for its beautiful cliffs, framed by stone pines and native vegetation, which invite visitors to take magnificent walks, where they enjoy a stunning setting, sunbathing on the soft, golden sands and bathing in the warm, crystal-clear waters.
The Mayor of Albufeira, José Carlos Rolo, expressed his pleasure at winning the award which reveals “that the Municipality of Albufeira is committed to taking care of our beaches, investing heavily in basic sanitation, cleaning the sand, access, surveillance and security, which combined with the excellent temperature of the region and the natural beauty of our coastal area, makes them among the most sought after, contributing to the promotion of the destination nationally and internationally."
The person responsible for Environment and Maritime Affairs and vice-president of Albufeira City Council, Cristiano Cabrita, stated that “this international recognition is a testimony to the municipality's continuous effort to preserve and promote the beauty and quality of Albufeira's beaches. This is, without a doubt, further proof of our investment in sustainability and environmental preservation that boost Tourism and attract new national and international travellers to our municipality”.
