About Maré
Maré is the largest Algarve tourism portal: travel guides, beaches and areas — and the best accommodation to rent, at the best prices, with direct booking through Homing.
Founded in 2020 by Anderson Melo, Maré is a tourism portal dedicated to the Algarve. It brings together, in one place, verified tourism information — guides, beaches and the profile of each town — and 247 real holiday homes to rent, covering the region’s 3 areas, 14 municipalities, 37 towns and 17 beaches. As an official partner of Homing Portugal, Maré enables direct booking with no platform commission, with support in Portuguese, English, French and Spanish.
