Desert Island or Barreta a well kept secret right in middle of Algarve.

Is one of the best preserved and least crowded beaches in the Algarve. It’s a completely uninhabited area of the Ria Formosa.

Rare sanctuary, the Desert Island invites to tranquility and rest.
About 10 km of silence and quiet characterize this place, where everything seems to fit perfectly between the land, sea and air.

Access is by sea from the pier Porta do Sol or Sun Gate, in Faro. It’s always worth going through the labyrinths of sand and mud flats of the estuary.
