Portugal for a few nights

My daughter and I are looking for beach village to relax for a few days. We'd love smaller town that is more upscale as this is a graduation present from school in London. We are traveling the end of May. Hope to avoid party type vibe, love to have access to shops, restaurants, and beach for walks etc. Rather some place without large resorts or hotels. I had first thought the Algarve but open to other ideas. I had not planned on a car as probably wont have a lot of exploring time so hoping to do ubers to some close by attractions? Thank you for all the advice!

We liked Lagos in the Algarve. There were quite a few very nice beaches within walking distance from our Airbnb, and we had a rental car to explore the area. Good places to eat. I'm not a shopper so I don't remember how the shopping was but probably good?
