In the way of eating and entertainment, there are a number of good restaurants in the village serving a variety of local and International dishes and two good beach bars. There are also some lively bars in the commercial centre and along the road edging to the beach. For an extended selection of bars and discos, Lagos is nearby.
The development of Praia da Luz, around the central beach, has been almost exclusively 'low rise'. The town consists of apartments and villas of all sizes, and the facilities are principally aimed at family holidays. There is a great variety of family friendly restaurants and bars, good supermarkets and all the amenities for a complete family holiday. Luz has a rich history which has been dominated by occupation - firstly by the Carthaginians and then by the Romans and there are the remains of fish salting vats and a roman villa to visit close to the village centre itself. To the east of town you find some spectacular cliffs and among them the prominent black rock known as the 'Luz Rock', or 'Rocha Negra'. This is an intrusion of lava produced from the now extinct volcanoes of Monchique some 190 million to 135 million years ago.
Luz also boasts a church which is medieval in origin. Its main chapel has a gothic triumphal arch and vaults, and the retable of the main altar is decorated with gilded carving of a baroque style (mid to late 18th century in style). There is a small aqueduct to channel water from Quinta da Luz, and next to the beach are tanks for salting fish (see above) which were almost certainly built by the Carthaginians and then used by the Romans. Rising above the beach is the 17th century fort of Nossa Senhora da Luz (Our Lady of Light) which has now been turned into a restaurant. Luz is just 8 minutes west of the larger Marina town of Lagos which provides excellent sightseeing opportunities, along with lots of shopping, good night life, and of course the large established marina.
Clients staying at our properties are encouraged to visit the golf course at Palmares, which is a showpiece for the imagination of Frank Pennink, one of the most prolific golf course designers in Portugal. At Palmares, Pennink has created a course of undeniable beauty and quality. The reputation of the course - a Par 71 - derives from its skilful use of two different kinds of landscape, as well as its excellent level of maintenance. After starting out on a difficult dogleg Par 4 from a high tee, the golfer soon gets into the links which run behind the beach of Meia Praia, a great expanse of white sand and high dunes. At hole number six the course turns back inland in the direction of the clubhouse. From here on, the player faces just the opposite challenge, with holes designed along curvy valleys bordered by pine trees, and affording beautiful views over Lagos Bay and the Monchique mountains. It is a perfect mixture of links and inland golf. From the veranda of the clubhouse, set between holes 9 and 10, the view covers 25 km of Atlantic ocean coast.
