We had a great stay at Ocean Blue Portugal with our (young) family. The location is great and the setting is really beautiful. The apartments are in top shape and the pool is so nice! Burgau is a lovely town with plenty of nice restaurants and the beaches nearby are awesome. But best of all are the people at Ocean Blue. Lucy took us on great bike tours in the beautiful countryside. Sean taught us how to surf in the clear blue waves of Burgau and Zaviar beach. We had the best time. Cannot wait to get back there to enjoy this beautiful spot. Highly recommended

Kouzelní místo, kde se dá znovu nabít životní energie. Vila se nachází na kopci obklopeném krásnou přírodou a překrásným výhledem do údolí, kde slyšíte jen zvuky přírody a kde nejste ničím rušeni. Vila je nově a velmi stylově zrekonstruovaná. Apartmány jsou dobře vybavené, najdete tam vše, co potřebujete. Mají zde také spoustu sportovního vybavení od paddleboardu, až po kola a skaty. Určitě si také užijete čas stráveny s majiteli vily, kteří Vám mohou dopřát spousty sportovních aktivit, při kterých se nedá nudit. Majitelé Lucy a Sean jsou velmi přátelští a pohostinní lidé. Pobyt ve vile si určitě maximálně užijete !!

Absolutely fantastic few days of mountain biking across the beautiful hidden Algarve countryside. The weather was perfect too. Already booked up for my next adventure-can’t wait! Thanks Lucy

We started at their villa on the top of the hill and cycled over to the 'avocado farm' and back on a circular route via fields, woodlands and (much-needed) coffee and lunch. It was about 30km in all, which is more than I've done before. And even though I'm a fan of pancake flat cycle-ways, the hills were achievable (apparently this route has easy hills), the bikes brilliant and Lucy & Sean were really helpful in helping me figure out cycling up these "easy hills" rather than walking up them... I ended the day having seen more of the area than i would normally have done on my stay and with a sense of achievement!

We had an amazing holiday at Ocean Blue. The apartment was beautiful, really modern & super relaxing. The beach was a short walk away, the restaurants were fantastic, gorgeous fresh fish locally caught, even the little cafes served great food. We’re quite an adventurous family & so loved all of the activities on offer, Lucy was great & inspired us to see lots of the beautiful surrounding countryside on bikes & SUP boards. A thoroughly enjoyable break away 10/10 ⭐️ a special thank you to Sophia who inspired our little boy to stand up on a surfboard for the first time :)

Had a lovely morning on the boat with Sean & Lucy. We spent time out on the water looking at the beautiful coastline and caves. The children loved jumping of off the boat and diving down in the beautiful blue water. The paddle boarding was lovely being able to get into the caves and explore more closely! Lucy and Sean were fab hosts and very attentive and the boat was lovely. Would definently recommend!

Fantastic accomadation and wonderful hosts , Sean & Lucy are top of their game in providing a holiday with plenty of adventure and fun , catering for all ages , they provide water activities which include surfing, stand up paddle boarding and boat trips around the iconic caves of Lagos and also trail bike riding around the scenic hills and coast of the local area . They are both extremely knowledgeable and able to teach and provide a safe experience to learn these new skills . At the accommodation we found everything to be user friendly , very comfortable ,modern and clean .There is a big swimming pool with loungers around to relax and a nice bbq area to cook and socialise. The WiFi is great at the accommodation and even on most of the beaches there is 4g which is important if you need to be in contact . The Western Algarve is such a wonderful part of the world to just chill out and just go with the flow . See you next year and thanks for a great experience

Had a great week mountain biking, paddle boarding and snorkeling with Lucy at OceanBlue Active. Would highly recommend all the activities for anyone staying in the Area!

Super boat trip. Interesting cruise and first go at stand up paddle boarding. Relaxed skipper and nice small party onboard the catamaran. Will definitely go again.

A wonderful first go for me at paddle boarding. Lucy was such a patient and impressive instructor. Such a lovely coastline to explore. Just wish I had more time to do some of the other great active adventures that is on offer such as mountain biking, boat trips, hiking & running. Can't wait to return to Ocean Blue Active Portugal.

We stayed in one of Lucy and Sean's apartments and were lucky enough to join Lucy on paddle boarding, boat trip and snorkelling, mountain biking and surfing trips. She is a wonderful host, instructor and just is an infectious life enthusiast, ensuring we came back from every activity covered in smiles. Everything was provided and Lucy was particularly brilliant at tailoring activities to ability and ages I.e our teens could paddle board long before the 49 year old with a dodgy back. Cannot recommend highly enough. We will be back.

I recently went Paddleboarding with Lucy from OceanBlue Active! I was lucky enough to be the only person booked in so I got a 1:1 lesson from Lucy! Due to Lucy’s clear instructions and excellent knowledge of technique and skill, I picked up paddle boarding really easily! We boarded from Salema beach down the coastline and enjoyed wonderful views, before stopping at a beach for refreshments! Lucy was really friendly and I had a super morning out on the water! I would highly recommend Lucy for any of the excursions she runs and will definitely be going back!

SUPer experience!! Thanks Lucy for the clear instructions and providing great material when paddling!! The paddle session from Burgau beach to Rebolos beach and back was awesome :)

Best place to to stay on the Algarve...brill views. Great hosts and activities would come back again....next week ;)

Definitely would recommend this to anyone who wants to explore the area by bike or by boat. Equipment is also at a high standard which nobody seemed to have any problems with. Staff are also very friendly and the accommodation is modern with great views. Would definitely visit again!

The best place to spend your vacation days and have also great adventure moments in the ocean, at the beach or cycling in the Algarve!!

A wonderful week spent with Lucy and Sean and Sophia at Ocean Blue back in December 2019. Perfect accommodation, warm and comfy, and lots to do in the local area. A boat trip to see the dolphins off the edge of Europe, a walk through weird and wonderful artwork in the hills, a hike along the coast to the sound of crashing waves below, a visit to the fish market in Bispo and a tour of some of the most perfect beaches we’ve ever seen out to the west. Great hosts, knowledgable and friendly, and great location for some winter sun and adventure.

Lucy's bike ride a must if you stay here! Cycle through the beautiful Portuguese countryside, shaded pine forests and meadows, stop in whitewashed hidden villages with funky sculptures and fab organic cafe's. All things you would miss by car.

Absolutely brilliant!!!! Mountain biking, paddle boarding and all round amazing experience! A must if you want to see Portugal in a wicked way

Just spent a long weekend with Lucy and Shaun guiding us over miles and miles of magnificent terrain on their mountain bikes. We stopped at some lovely cafes and restaurants for some local seafood and enjoyed some stunning views. Lucy can tailor the route to suit your goals and fitness levels and is so familiar with the local trails, she will always have a plan B in mind if you run out of steam. Lovely people, great bikes, beautiful views and if course, plenty of sun :-) Would highly recommend.

Just got back from a weekend of mountain biking with Ocean Blue guiding us. We (8 middle aged men in lycra) had a fantastic weekend riding around the Algarve lead by Lucy and Sean, the area is unspoilt and very rugged. Most of the time we were shadowed by the wind turbines! We covered over 70miles in just over 2 days discovered the beautiful beaches of the West coast. Lucy is very knowledgeable about the area and was very keen for us to discover the some of the single tracks. She ensured we all kept together and at a pace we all could maintain. Their base has dominating view of the surrounding area with a lovely swimming pool to cool off in after hard days riding. Thanks once again to Lucy & Sean to make it very memorable weekend.

Fantastic guided off road rides in very small groups which took us to places we'd never find on our own. Great routes, great bikes, great fun. Definitely be in touch to try more activities in future. Accomodation looks awesome too.

Great Sea Safari, Lagos Paddleboarding, family friendly, such a beautiful coastline and fun for all the family of all ages, jumping off the boat and snorkelling, something for everyone!

War eine tolle Zeit ! Sowohl die Mountainbike Tour, als auch die Bootstour haben super Spaß gemacht und waren toll organisiert. Wer etwas authentisch portugiesisches, aber auch professionelles sucht, ist hier genau richtig!

Brilliant stay at ocean blue active lovely morning ride through the wonderful scenery and a great boat trip and would definitely recommend
