A HISTORY LINKED TO THE SEA.
Costa do Vizir Beach Village is located 5 minutes from the center of Porto Covo – a small village in the heart of the Alentejo Coaston the Costa Vicentina. Porto Covo is about 160 km from Lisbon and is increasingly popular for vacations and weekends. The architecture is characterized by its white houses with blue bars and parallel streets that run down to the sea. Marquês de Pombal Square, built by Jacinto Bandeira in the mid-18th century, bears the influence of the Pombaline style. This salt-soaked village offers sun, great beaches and excellent gastronomy to those who visit.

From its epicenter, whether you’re heading north or south, the beaches follow one another: calm beaches with coves and pools where the little ones can play, beaches with waves, others cut out by the rocks and others more battered by the sea. There is something for all tastes and purposes, so much so that international recognition has not been long in coming. In 2015, the French edition of The Huffington Post, in its section dedicated to travel and tourism, considered Porto Covo beach to be one of the 10 most beautiful beaches in the world.
Porto Covo also has a small traditional fishing port from where eager men venture out to sea every day in search of the freshest fish and seafood.
Pessegueiro Island and its fort – made famous by Rui Veloso’s song. Accessible by boat, it is a place of unparalleled beauty, rich in marine fauna and flora, as well as historic ruins.
Welcome to Porto Covo!
Anyone coming from São Torpes in the direction of Porto Covo, along the inland road, can appreciate the beauty of the dunes flanking the sea, extremely well preserved and untouched by the hand of man. The scenery wouldn’t be complete without contemplating the extensive plain of cornfields and sunflower fields, cultivated by those who chose not to go to sea, which takes our gaze to the mountains of Cercal do Alentejo – a small village further inland.
During the summer, Sines and Porto Covo come alive with the Festival Músicas do Mundo(FMM Sines) and local celebrations. These events are an excellent opportunity to get to know the local culture and enjoy moments of joy and fun.
