Quebramar Since 2023, a new chef has transformed this beach bar, located in front of the foil school, into a great option for dining or drinks. Watch your partner foiling while sipping your wine.
Porto das Barcas A 5-minute drive out of town takes you to this gorgeous restaurant with stunning views. Enjoy beautiful sunsets and lovely food. Try the mango ceviche. In the back, there’s an Ibiza-style hangout, perfect for an afternoon drink.
A Choupana This traditional wooden restaurant is run by three brothers. They BBQ their freshly caught fish, and the views are beyond beautiful, especially just before sunset.
Ritual Another favorite of ours, especially as they offer a mixed cuisine. There’s always something going on. Drink a gin tonic, eat some tapas, or, if you’re hungry and with someone, try the special steak. Hmmmmm.
A Fateixa A local hotspot by the river. Lovely fish, great views, and better priced than some other restaurants in similar locations. Try the finger-licking garlic shrimps.
Riverside Enjoy stunning views over the river, delicious hamburgers, perfectly marinated fries, good mayonnaise, and stay open until 2 AM. It’s a great place to enjoy a drink, with the biggest selection of specialty beers in town.
We are located in Vila Nova de Milfontes on Furnas beach. To reach us navigate to us through this link. If you are in Milfontes without a car you can take the ferry underneath the castle, it will take you directly to us in 5 minutes.
To reach Milfontes you can fly to Lisbon or Faro Airport in Portugal. Budget airlines like Ryanair, Transavia, Vueling and EasyJet offer many flights a day from most major cities in Europe.
From both Airports it’s about a 2 hour drive to reach us in Vila Nova de Milfontes.
If you fly to Lisbon you are able to rent a car, book a bus ticket with Rede Expressos or arrange a transfer straight to the foil camp.
Keep in mind that the bus is not going straight from the Airport and you will first have to take an Taxi/Uber to the busstation. This is usually about a 15 minute ride but can be more if there is a lot of traffic. The bus station is called Sete Rios.
From Faro Airport, renting a car or booking a transfer is the easiest way to reach us.
