This island presents itself as a “refuge of peace and natural beauty, attracting those looking for a place away from the tourist hustle and bustle characteristic of other areas of the Algarve”
The Algarve, with its more than 150 kilometers of coastline, has become one of the most visited destinations in the world. The characteristic white sand beaches, impressive cliff landscapes and beautiful fishing villages mean that anyone visiting the Algarve region can enjoy a wide variety of destinations. But in addition to its best-known spots, the Algarve has magical corners that few know about or that are hidden, one of which is a “hidden island”.
The same source states that the “hidden island” is Ilha da Fuzeta and presents itself as a “refuge of peace and natural beauty, attracting those looking for a place far from the tourist hustle and bustle characteristic of other areas of the Algarve. This small paradise, accessible from the village of Fuzeta, in the municipality of Olhão, offers its visitors a unique experience where nature, culture and tranquility intertwine. The island is equipped with extensive beaches of fine sand and transparent waters, which invite rest and contemplation.”
On this island, in contrast to more crowded destinations, “you breathe an air of exclusivity and serenity, where each space seems reserved to offer visitors a moment of personal connection with the environment. This is particularly appreciated at a time when mass tourism has saturated many European coastal destinations”, says Infobae.
Writing about the Ria Formosa Natural Park that encompasses the island, the Spanish newspaper talks about “its impressive scenery and rich biodiversity. The conservation of this ecosystem is a priority, which is why activities on the island are focused on ecotourism. Nature lovers can enjoy activities such as bird watching, as the region is an important crossing and nesting point for numerous migratory species. Additionally, kayaking through the marsh canals offers a unique way to explore the rich flora and fauna of the area.”
As for the village of Fuzeta, Info bae declares it as “one of the most beautiful in the Algarve. With a marked fishing character, the town is located at the end of the Ria Formosa, providing an impressive image with the estuary on one side and the Atlantic Ocean on the other. From the port of this village, it is possible to reach the island and enjoy a peaceful day at the beach in an impressive natural environment. At the same time, you can contemplate buildings such as the Fuzeta lifeguard station”.
