* Nadine is an International Space Clearing and Intuitive Feng Shui consultant with over 12 years experience in this field having worked in England, Ireland, Scotland, Europe and the United States and is currently available for bookings in all areas of the UK and throughout Europe. Come and join us in the peace and tranquillity of our eco-retreat at Monte Joao Afonso in the Algarve, the sunshine coast of Southern Portugal, and experience a truly unique holiday amidst beautiful natural surroundings. With its secluded countryside location in an area of Portugal’s protected forestry, Tipi Algarve is perfectly situated to escape the maddening crowds of summer yet is just a few minutes away from the bustling port town of Portimão and a great choice of superb local beaches.

Welcome to the wonderful world of glamorous camping, otherwise known as "glamping", luxury camping at its best. Avoid the usual downside of a hot tent in a muddy field and instead enjoy holidaying in nature, in comfort and style. Guests can stay in one of Tipi Algarve’s stunning Tipis or a traditional Mongolian Yurt, each offering a luxurious double bed complete with bedding, cushions, towels, lamps and storage for clothes.
Extra beds and bedding can be provided for more guests upon request and the great thing about Tipi Algarve is the Kids Go Free!
Tipi Algarve is a small family run business and we pride ourselves that the whole site is an extension of our home and welcome guests as we would our friends and family... truly a holiday with a difference. We also have regular volunteers who come and join us for working holidays as we improve and add to our facilities - but don't worry, we would never let any of our projects upset the relaxation and tranquillity of your special holiday here with us.
Do something different this year, come and experience an "eco-glamping" holiday in our beautiful valley amidst rustic, natural surroundings... all under the Algarve sun!

Tipi Algarve is the perfect setting for a very special and memorable holiday and staying in a canvas tipi or yurt will provide you with a unique ‘at-one-with-nature’ experience… a comfortable, low-impact, ecological and ethical holiday where you can venture out to discover the delights and treasures of this charming region of Portugal. For those wishing to bring their own tents we also offer camping facilities with hot & cold showers and loos (tent hire is also available) - although campsite numbers are limited so please book early! There is also self-contained accommodation in Casa Hibiscus to rent if holidaying under canvas is not your cup of tea! (See the button above).

Tipi Algarve offers something for everyone… families on an adventure holiday or a half term break, couples sharing the seclusion of romantic getaway, friends enjoying memorable moments together basking in the sea, people seeking a healing retreat who may wish to take advantage of the complimentary therapies available on site. Whether you’re a surfer, walker, birdwatcher, painter, extreme sports fanatic or simply want to chill out… you can do it all here in the Algarve.
Nestled in the foothills of Monchique, Tipi Algarve is only 10 mins drive from the lively town of Portimão, 12km from the historic castle town of Silves and just 15 mins to some of the best beaches in the Algarve. The international airport at Faro is about 45 mins drive away by new motorway so you can be off the plane and settling into your tipi before you know it!
We always do our utmost at Tipi Algarve to ensure that all our visitors have a fun, healthy, relaxing holiday in our little oasis tucked away from the summer crowds and that you take home special memories of your stay to cherish for years to come.
