What travelers are saying

beautiful island fabulous views friendly people Atlantic beach unspoilt by commercial activity..I took the ferry from olhao which was a very regular service easy to find on the front street.

Wonderful location, typical fishing village with loads of character.

A short ferry boat trip from Olhao landed us on the lagoon side at the settlement of Culatra, with flowers in the gardens of lovely single story houses, faced with beautiful Portuguese tiles.

Not a bad visit. Always nice to get out on a boat

I thought Culatra was a little boring, but it’s not a bad trip at all. Here’s the deal: A water taxi from Olhao to Culatra can set you back $20-30. So, round trip it’s a little expensive. You can get an island hopper pass that...More

Stunning

A lovely island, and great for a few hours or a full day. The main drawback being the trek from the ferry dropoff to the actual beach area - easily 25 mins or more at a decent pace! There's only one cafe on the beach,...More

A little off the 'beaten track' this barrier island resort is well worth a visit. Take the ferry from Olhão harbour (or a water taxi if you prefer), and head to the Ilha da Culatra - about a 25 minute ferry ride. On desembarking, you...More

Amazing beach

We got the return ferry for €4 each which takes about 30 minutes. 15/20 min walk to the other side of the island but you come to a gorgeous beach with few other people (in September), a little beach bar and you can hear nothing...More
