Getting to Boavista Golf & Lagos

Car hire
We highly recommend that you hire a car when visiting the Algarve as there are so many things to see and do. You can explore traditional coastal villages or seek out your own private beach to relax on.

If required, we can recommend a local car hire company here in Lagos who we use. Your car will be waiting for you when you arrive at Faro airport.

Driving directions from Faro airport to Lagos & Boavista
Lagos is approximately 82 km from Faro Airport and t
he journey takes about fifty minutes. You simply follow the A22 motorway as explained on the map below. Lagos and the Boavista golf resort are to the left of the map in the Western Algarve. Zoom in + and click the icons on the map to view photos and directions.
