The modern apartments with their terracotta tiled roofs blend in well with the whitewashed stone cottages draped in bougainvillaea providing a wonderful contrast of colours when viewed from the back of the village down towards the sea. The great thing about Luz is that it is small enough for everything to be within walking distance. There is a variety of nightlife and restaurants ranging from the very best in continental cuisine to the three beach bars serving fresh fish at unbeatable prices. The wide sandy beach can be as private as you like and offers safe bathing and an excellent watersports centre.

The old town is full of character and charm with its narrow cobbled streets and well maintained flower-decked squares. There are many historic treasures including the baroque Chapel of Santo Antonio and the old fortress which have been beautifully restored. There is a wide choice of bars, restaurants and a good variety of night life creating a lively and friendly atmosphere in this cosmopolitan town.

Salema sits at the bottom of a narrow valley where the local fisherman continue to go about their daily chores amongst sunbathers on the beach. Much of the traditional charm still remains with little white washed cottages, cobbled streets and colourful fishing boats in abundance. It boasts a handful of shops, restaurants and bars along with the regular weekly market selling local handicrafts and fresh produce. The excellent sandy beach is encompassed by magnificent cliffs at either end and provides safe bathing and secluded sunbathing areas for holidaymakers.
