Just a twenty-minute stroll from the nearest golden sandy beach, this Lagos apartment is the ideal setting for a refreshing coastal escape. There’s a private balcony ideal for alfresco cocktails and you can enjoy access to the communal pool. It’s also just a five-minute walk to the nearby harbour, shops and restaurants – making this a great base for those in search of a little action as well as relaxation.

Lagos Light

Located in a peaceful condominium near Lagos Marina, this airy apartment has two private balconies and a cosy barbecue area for grilling up a storm. Kids will love the communal pools, and the golden sandy Meia Praia is a breezy stroll or a short drive away for easy trips to the beach. Parties and excessive noise are strictly forbidden here, meaning you're guaranteed a quiet and relaxing stay. To make your trip extra special, your host can provide services like private chefs, airport transfers, and a range of food hampers.

In the Heart of Meia Praia

In the Old Village neighbourhood of Vilamoura, this modern villa puts the long sandy beach, restaurants, supermarkets and bars on your doorstep. Choose between days on the golden sand nearby, or lazing by the long infinity pool. There’s a covered dining area for shaded lunches and plenty of loungers to soak up the rays. The open living area inside is big enough for social gatherings and there’s an additional hang-out space in the basement with a ping-pong table. The decor feels a little sparse, so this place would suit fans of minimalism, rather than homeliness.  

The Temporal Shift

Located just steps away from one of Algarve’s legendary sandy beaches, this elegant and cosy apartment is an ideal base for a small family or a couple looking to leave the stresses of everyday life behind and enjoy a relaxing stay in the sun. 

Enter to be greeted by a large open-plan living room and kitchen area, with plenty of room to kick back and relax after a long beach day. We love the wooden floors, stylish light fixtures and light-filled interior, which puts you immediately in the holiday mood. You’ll be able to gaze out onto the sea from the comfort of your living room, and you can also enjoy drinks out on the balcony, with a gentle sea breeze on your face. 

The bright and well-equipped kitchen invites you to rustle up quick and delicious meals which you can share with your loved ones at the dining table with enough space for four. For a night of restful sleep head to the bedroom, with its striking green wall and nautical theme. Wake up restored and welcome the new day with a cup of freshly brewed coffee out on the balcony. 

Outside your modern residence, you’ll be in close proximity to many cafes and restaurants, and you can also drive to an array of exciting activities, including a surf school, a golf course and riding stables, all located within a fifteen-minute drive from your home. 

Let's Build Sandcastles 

Why book a single apartment when you can reserve the whole building instead? That's the question prompted by this colossal address on the Algarve, which comprises of eleven separate homes on the same site.

It's a great option for families or couples travelling together as part of a larger group, as each unit has its own lounge, kitchen and private terrace. All of them bear traditional Mediterranean influences in the interior design, with lots of whitewashed walls, natural light and terracotta tiling underfoot.

However, when you want to gather together again, there's plenty of outdoor space in which you can do just that. As well as a large swimming pool – complete with a neighbouring children's pool and separate Jacuzzi – there's an alfresco dining table and a barbecue so you can enjoy open-air feasts that stretch long into the night.

What's more, filling up an itinerary will be one of the easiest things you're ever tasked with. There are a wealth of beaches and coves in the surrounding area, starting from as close as 2 kilometres away, and a good choice of dramatically beautiful coastal walking routes on the map. The local town of Carvoeiro has you covered for bars and restaurants, too.

Starting Eleven

Perfectly positioned just a three-minute walk from the beach, this sun-drenched townhouse makes an excellent base for exploring the Algarve. You won't have to travel far to discover Praia da Luz's sandy shores, coastal hiking routes and mouthwatering restaurants in the centre, as nearly everything is within walking distance. But for those craving some boutique shopping and buzzing nightlife, Lagos is an easy fifteen drive away.

When you're not dipping your toes in the Atlantic or admiring the views from the iconic Rocha Negra, we bet we'll find you basking in the sunshine back at home. You've got options when it comes to relaxing in the fresh air – upstairs, the main suite's balcony is a sweet spot to enjoy your morning coffee, while downstairs, a small patio with lounge chairs overlooks the complex's sparkling communal pool. It's just a few steps from your living room, so you can easily enjoy an afternoon swim before heading out for the evening. 

Speaking of the lounge, we love how cosy and bright the interiors are. The squishy sofa beckons after a long day on your feet – sprawl out with a bowl of popcorn and watch your favourite Netflix movie or turn on the Playstation 4 and get gaming. Come evening, rustle up a delicious meal in the well-stocked kitchen, open a bottle of Portugal's Vinho Verde wine and dine alfresco as the sun goes down.

One Shining Day

Nestled on a hilltop, this single-storey villa offers uninterrupted sea and mountain views. While the interior has a traditional style that may not suit everyone, it’s well-equipped with comfortable bedrooms offering ample wardrobe space. Outdoors, sun worshippers will adore the decked and terraced areas, while the private pool, perfect for soaking up the view, will be a hit with everyone. Close to amenities such as tennis courts and a renowned restaurant, from this home’s enviable location you can reach the airport and some beautiful beaches by car in twenty minutes. 

The Sea Ballad

This modern apartment puts you within striking distance of several Algarve beaches, with Praia da Batata, Porto de Mós and Praia Dona Ana all within two kilometres. For those not keen on sinking their feet into the sand or splashing in the sea, there’s also a plethora of golf courses in the surrounding area and eateries within walking distance, so you’re never far from authentic Portuguese cuisine. Back home, you can enjoy on-site amenities such as a gym, sauna and communal swimming pools to keep you entertained, while the private balcony is just the spot for sundowners as the day ends. 

A Taste of the Algarve

Hidden in the Albufeira city centre lies this gorgeous villa, filled with enough luxuries to make your stay a memorable one. Make a splash in the glittering waters of the private pool or lounge poolside as you work on that perfectly golden holiday tan under the sun. If you're still in business mode, get set up at the workspace downstairs for some remote work before you let loose and relax out on the terrace. Powered by solar panels and with a system designed to save water, this villa is as eco-conscious as it is beautiful. Settling in won't take long and you'll be dining alfresco or relaxing in the Jacuzzi jets of a hot bath in no time.

In the heart of the city, you'll have access to all the nearest attractions and necessities. Whether you're heading out to pick up some food for cooking up a family meal on the barbecue or in the fully-equipped kitchen, or you're looking to dine out by the sea or in the city surrounded by the friendly local atmosphere, you're just a walk away from a good time. Spend days on the golden sands of the Praia dos Pescadores or feel like a local as you wander in the Albufeira Old Town Square, both just a short walk from your doorstep. Whatever your desires, this home can ensure you a restful and fun-filled holiday.

Angles of Albufeira

Cool and contemporary, this apartment is based just 100 metres from the beach in Praia da Rocha, and just a short drive from the heart of Portimão, making it ideal for beach lovers and city explorers alike. We love the decor of this home, with swinging chairs and a funky mural that make it feel warm and welcoming. A stay here means you'll have access to the shared outdoor pool and tennis court, ideal for spending days in the sunshine.


Sunset Terracotta

Located in the sweet unspoilt village of Cabanas de Tavira, this home is ideally placed. Contemporary in design, it’s been tastefully decorated with comfort and socialisation in mind. If you don’t feel like heading out to eat, indulge in a delicious dinner with your loved ones in the open-plan living and dining room – beautifully complemented by the sprawling balcony, you have the ideal spot for a nightcap as the sun sets. We love the vibrant colours of this apartment that make it such a happy home, and with both bedrooms boasting en-suite bathrooms, you can enjoy a bit of privacy and quiet time, too. 

There’s a lot to explore in the local area, and a short ten-minute stroll will find you at the beach. After a fun-filled day on the coast, return home for a movie night to unwind. The floor-to-ceiling windows will cast wonderful ambient lighting as the sun disappears. Brilliantly located, this home has it all – alfresco dining, comfort at its core, and a picturesque location for when you want to explore the magic that Portugal has to offer.
