Using Satellite Navigation

SatNavs (usually) make travelling easier, but it's important to remember their limitations, especially when driving to in a European Country. We recommend using Post Code 000000 this directs you to the resort entrance. Directions and imagery can also be found on www.gooleearth.com

Taking the Train

Salema is just 20 minutes in a taxi from Lagos mainline station, the nearest station to Salema, its approximately 30 minutes train journey from Faro Train Station to Lagos.

On arrival at Faro Airport you have to take a bus to the train station, which is about 50 metres before the bus terminal. The 'Linha do Algarve' is slow but pleasant (much nicer than the bus) taking about one and half hours to reach Lagos, winding its way through the countryside before following the coastline from Alvor bay to Lagos. Approximately 10 Euros for the journey, last direct train is in the early afternoon so only possible for those arriving on a morning flight. To check train timetables visit the C.P website www.cp.pt. (the site is available in English) and select 'Regional and Inter Regional services' to get the timetable for Lagos

Taking the Bus

Getting to Salema from Faro Airport can be done by Bus from Faro Airport Bus Station.

No direct routes from the airport; you have to transfer to the bus terminal (Estação Rodoviária) in Faro. Take a bus to Lagos and then a bus to Salema. The bus stop for the transfer is right outside the airport terminal and the timetable is posted on the sign. Buses are usually every half hour. Its 10-15 minute journey into Faro and you are dropped a few yards from the coach station. Inside there is a digital timetable of destinations and coach numbers and the ticket kiosk is opposite that.
