Your Recife Holiday

When a city break is calling, answer it with a holiday package to Recife. The neighbourhood of Recife Antigo, which is good for markets, dining and festivals, makes a fantastic base for your adventures. Boa Viagem Beach, Shopping Recife and Mirabilandia Amusement Park are just a few of the many attractions worth checking out during your trip to Recife. A couple of quick clicks is all it takes to create a tailor-made Recife holiday on Expedia.

Recife Beach Holiday

There's nothing like a Recife holiday to put a spring in your step. The soothing sound of rolling waves and the smell of clean ocean air are sure to refresh your mind and body. To be close to the city centre on your trip to Recife, find a hotel around Gaibu Beach (just 19 miles away). If you plan to stay for a while, browse our Recife holiday packages. Not only can you save some cash, you'll also have other incredible beaches around you to explore, like Calhetas Beach and Enseada dos Corais. We call that a win-win!
