While some areas of the home are a little compact, you’ll find everything you need to feel right at home.

Gather up a small group of your favourite people and whisk them away for a sunny stay on the Algarve. This smart apartment is located in the resort town of Praia da Luz, and make the perfect place to relax between trips to the beach. 

The interior is bright and welcoming, with crisp white walls, cool tiles, and a comfy sofa. There's even a fireplace for if you're visiting during the chillier months – light it up and get cosy with a good book and a glass of port. The kitchen has everything you need to whip up some tasty dishes using fresh ingredients, and you can eat alfresco out on the balcony. With space for a dining table, sun loungers, and views of the garden below, it's the ideal spot to relax in the fresh air. 

From here, you can wander down to Praia da Luz's sandy shoreline for a day paddling in the waves and catching some rays. There is a range of beachfront bars ready to help you refuel when you get hungry, and the town also offers easy access to some great coastal walking paths. Hike along the Trilho dos Pescadores – also known as the fishermans' trail – or take it easy with a round of golf at the local course, just five minutes away by car.

If you're hoping for a peaceful stay in the Algarve – complete with sea, sun and a private swimming pool – then this is the villa for you. With the Atlantic Ocean straight ahead and a light-filled living space to retire to post-swim, you'll find all your holiday boxes ticked at this charming coastal home.

We love how the bedrooms have sliding doors onto the first-floor terrace. This spectacular viewpoint, we think you'll agree, is the villa's number-one highlight. Gaze across the picturesque bay and feel the sea tugging at you to pack your beach bag and hit the sand. Praia da Luz is just a fifteen-minute walk away, after all.

After a lazy day in the Portuguese heat, gather the group inside to cool down over a pool tournament, or split off for a solo soak in the jacuzzi bathtub. As the sun sets, return to the terrace for a debrief of the day as you sip vinho and tuck into a hearty meal whipped up in the kitchen.

Mar & Sol

Located just five minutes on foot from the beach and only three minutes from the historical town centre of Albufeira with its vast array of bars, restaurants and shopping opportunities – you'll have the best of the Algarve in the palm of your hand here. Overlooking the Old Town's rooftops, the home's best asset undoubtedly rests outside on the balcony terrace. With an alfresco dining area and seating, it's a great spot for soaking up the Portuguese sunshine when you're not on the beach. Inside, contemporary designs create a cool place to relax in comfort and retreat from the sun.

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

Perched on the glistening Algarve, this family-size villa is the perfect setting for a relaxing coastal retreat. Inside, beige tones and traditional tiled floors give the home a rustic warmth, while the gorgeous roof terrace offers a lovely space to soak up the sunshine and take in your surroundings. 

Stepping outside, you’ll find plenty of other areas to unwind, from the outdoor dining space to the poolside sun loungers. Cool off with a quick dip in your private swimming pool, before drying off for lunch. The kitchen is fully equipped for rustling up a summer salad to go with a barbecue or a couple of snacks to accompany evening sundowners. All three bedrooms are bright and colourful, so whatever’s on your agenda, this place feels welcoming.

If you feel like a change of scenery, pack up your seaside essentials and take the ten-minute stroll down to the golden sands and turquoise waters of Alagoa beach. When dinnertime arrives, you'll find a sprinkling of beachfront tavernas and bars, just a short walk from your door.

Situated on the coast of Algarve, this modern home’s crowning jewel might be the lush green garden, outdoor seating, and the crystal-clear swimming pool, but indoors you’ll find plenty of diamonds, too. The vaulted ceilings of the living room, for one, is a feature that not only makes it feel more spacious, but, along with the natural light, it goes a long way in creating a calm and relaxing atmosphere. Take advantage of that by getting into your favourite position and passing the time with a good book and an aromatic tea. 

Also wedged between terracotta tiles and exposed rafters, you’ll find a generous bedroom that’s practically designed for afternoon naps. That’s the general feeling this home instils – to forget about time and simply do what moves you in the moment. If that happens to be a casual afternoon swim in the pool, then so be it. Otherwise, spend time lounging poolside with an ice cold drink in hand, admiring the porcelain work of the plate-decorated walls right where you can dine alfresco, or simply staring at the view.

With the beach right on your doorstep, you’ll likely spend a lot of your time in the surf. Wake up before dawn at least one, and take a walk down to watch the day break on the horizon as you plant yourself in the damp sand.
 
Tee off at Amendoeira Golf Resort, spend the day at Aqualand Algarve or go see marine life at Zoomarine Algarve.

Free Parking

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

Rooftop Terrace

This former olive mill, set in the historic coastal town of Tavira, has undergone quite the transformation in recent times – and we couldn’t love it more. Expertly reimagined into a three-storey townhouse, polished marble, parquet flooring, and contemporary interiors fuse together to glorious effect. 
 
An excellent choice for friends or extended family sharing, each bedroom sits on its own floor with an en-suite bathroom for a little extra privacy. And you’re all sorted if you plan to work, with a dedicated desk tucked away in a quiet corner on the top floor. 

Downstairs, the free-flowing living space leading out onto a charming private courtyard with views of the neighbouring church is made for socialising. Get together for a sunny alfresco breakfast of expressos and Pastel de Natas on the veranda, then pad over to the shared terraces for a dip in that sparkling pool surrounded by tumbling bougainvillaea and fragrant citrus trees.

When it’s time for a dose of sea air and culture, Tavira has got it in spades. Lose yourself to its warren of cobblestone streets on either side of the Rio Gilão dotted with cafes and restaurants, and shady squares. Or hop on the ferry bound for the coast – the unspoilt, golden shores of Ilha de Tavira are everything you’ve been daydreaming of.

The Olive Trail

In the pleasant market town of Loulé, this apartment is ideal for a family seeking an authentic Algarve escape. The patio was the first thing that caught our eye – with its barbecue, it's perfect for alfresco meals in the shade. Talking of eating, there's also the well-equipped kitchen, and there's plenty of eateries within walking distance too. At capacity, two guests will be using the living area's sofa bed, so space might be a little tight. Luckily, Loulé offers plenty of reasons to be out exploring, and you can take a bus directly to the coast in less than an hour.

Algarve Whispers

With the beach a short stroll away and a communal pool to cool off in, what’s not to love about this apartment? Sure, the twin bedroom may be a bit of a squeeze, but this unfussy pad has everything you need for a memory-filled coastal stay in Albufeira. With a choice of private balconies, opportunities for a spot of sunbathing are never far away. Or, to soak up both the sun and panoramic sea views, head up to the shared rooftop pool area. Restaurants, shops and bars are also nearby if you fancy a night on the town.

Umbrellas

In the quaint village of Amorosa, this home offers an authentic Portuguese experience from the moment you arrive at the front door. 

Showcasing signature Mediterranean style, this luxurious villa is a treasure trove of original features, from antique floor tiles to the signature Calcada paving stones outside. 

There’s plenty of room for the whole family here, thanks to converted barns which house four of the villa’s six bedrooms. The heart of the home, however, has to be the courtyard. Try your hand at cooking some local dishes in the contemporary outdoor kitchen, which boasts a barbecue grill, sink, fridge and dishwasher, plus bar seating perfect for preparing meals together. 

Of course, you’ll want to enjoy your food alfresco - take a seat under the pergola and pour a glass of wine before you dig in to get the full dining experience. After dinner, why not head to the ping pong table or dartboard to round off the night?

Whilst this home has everything you need to relax and unwind the Portuguese way, it’s certainly worth venturing into Faro for the day to wander among the historic sights and landmarks. The outdoor swimming pool awaits when you return - the perfect way to cool off after a day of exploring. 

Pieces of Portugal

Ideally located in Albufeira, this villa is perfect for families. It’s just 1 kilometre from the soft sand of Praia da Faleisa and 800 metres from Pine Cliffs golf course, so there’s something for everyone. Kids will love splashing about in the private pool, while grown-ups can look forward to sipping drinks on the terrace. It’s worth noting that two guests will be sleeping on a sofa bed in the living room, where privacy is limited, and that some of the decor is a touch dated. 

Summer in Algarve

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

This stylishly designed apartment is waiting to welcome you on your peaceful trip to the Algarve. The biggest draw of the home is, of course, the large rooftop terrace offering views over this scenic landscape, but we also adore the little balcony, overlooking the Ria Formosa lagoon nearby, perfect for morning coffees in the sunshine. You’ll be in a central spot, close to the ferry boat to Beach Island so you can spend time relaxing on Praia de Cabana, while the charming fishing village of Cabanas, with its delicious seafood restaurants, can be reached in just two minutes by foot.

Inside, it's a wonderfully bright and open living space, where you can sink into the modern modular sofa or gather around the sleek dining table at the end of a long day spent sunbathing or exploring. The bedrooms are just as light and comfortable, while the kitchen will make preparing supper a breeze.

In The Sunshine

Located on the ground floor of a tranquil apartment building in Lagos, this apartment is close to Porto de Mós beach. The garden and terrace have space for dining alfresco and for children to play, and you'll have access to a communal pool and children's pool. The twin beds can be joined together to make a super king bed, making this home great for a couples' retreat as well as for family and friends. To elevate your stay and add further convenience, your host can provide an array of extras for an additional fee, including private chefs, childcare equipment, and food hampers.

Algarve Blues

This small but sublime dwelling sits in a prime position overlooking the beautiful Benagil Beach on the sunny Algarve. You and three lucky loved ones can spend a blissful stay at this peaceful sanctuary – long and lovely days can be spent out on the roof terrace, sunning yourself on the loungers and gazing out at the ocean from the private pool. Of course, that's if you're not tempted down to the beach to explore its stunning sea cave, a popular location on many bucket lists.

Inside, fresh interiors invite you to sit and cool off from the Algarve sunshine, with a dreamy colour scheme that reflects the beautiful blue sea views that you can see from the lounge. There's a cosy lounge for film nights on chilly evenings, as well as a stylish dining area that's perfect for feasting on suppers of locally-caught fish.

The Perched Heron

This wonderful villa is on the cliffs above Praia d’Oura, and boasts spectacular sea views. You can even walk straight from the garden to the beach via a steep set of stairs – save some energy for the return climb though. The villa sits amid stunning gardens that make for a relaxing backdrop. We love the private pool, the courtyard, and the day beds that face the sea – where better to doze in the sunshine? You’ll be just a short walk to Santa Eulalia, with all of its bars and restaurants. What more could you ask for? 

Beach Breeze Villa

Secured Parking

Enjoy front-row sea views from this contemporary apartment overlooking Praia da Batata (Potato Beach). The private balcony is the perfect spot to watch boats sail by or enjoy an alfresco aperitif, and early birds will be rewarded with spectacular sunrises over the sea. Inside, the open-plan living/dining area is connected to the kitchen by a large hatch, making it easy to serve up sociable meals, and there’s also a breakfast bar where you can enjoy a coffee before hitting the beach. And with Lagos town centre just a short stroll away, you’ll have an array of restaurants, bars, and shops to choose from.

You'll find this home between the charming villages of Burgau and Luz. Close to sandy beaches, cobbled streets and fishermen's cottages, this condominium is perfectly placed for discovering all that the Algarve has to offer.

You'll have not one but three separate pools here, giving you the luxury of choice when it comes to cooling off after a day on the coast. The first is completely private, whilst the other two form part of the resort's spa. There's also a communal gym, Jacuzzi and sauna – we recommend starting your morning here to set you up for the day ahead.

Spend time surfing, exploring rock pools or even catching a boat to Lagos from the harbour – there are plenty of ways to discover this beautiful part of the world and soak up the glorious weather.  

After a busy day, pick up some local food and head home to enjoy the private patio. The garden is a relaxing spot to spend an evening, with comfy sun loungers and space to unwind.

Lost In Luz

In sunny Quinta do Lago, this villa offers a relaxing stay just a short drive from the beach. When you're not exploring the Algarve, the swimming pool is the perfect spot to while away the afternoon. Stretch out on a lounge chair for a quick siesta, or retreat to the different balconies for a tipple in the sun. Kids will enjoy the games room while the group's barbecue master rustles up dinner in the outdoor kitchen. There's also plenty of space indoors to unwind. Quarteira, Faro, and Albufeira are within driving distance – all great options for day trips.

By the Seaside

This spacious villa on the Algarve coast was designed with families in mind. For kids, there’s a playpark in the garden and a swimming pool for cooling off. While adults can indulge in a spa session thanks to the indoor Jacuzzi tub, gym and sauna. There’s oodles of space inside, from the glitzy main lounge and banquet-sized dining room to tucked-away family snugs. Within the area, there are several golf courses and the beachy town of Quarteira is a short hop away in the car.

Immersed in the natural beauty of the Sudoeste Alentejano e Costa Vicentina Natural Park with enriching views across the countryside, this is the perfect setting for a rejuvenating retreat – one that will leave you feeling refreshed and inspired from the moment of arrival. And while the landscape sings with natural charm, the space itself provides a contemporary eco-friendly sanctuary. 

From the minimalist whitewashed design and elegant styling to the big open windows and soft lighting, the owners have created a home that brings ease and joy to daily living. The kitchen is fully equipped with everything you could need to feel the comfort of home, while the bedrooms (each with its own bathroom) provide the ultimate sense of relaxation. 

Outside, spend idyllic days by the pool, taking long walks through the countryside, meeting the resident farm animals and gathering for sunset drinks and pizza nights – the outdoor kitchen features a traditional pizza and bread oven.  

For exploration beyond this rural haven, you’ll find the west coast beaches such as Arrifana and Amoreira are less than a thirty-minute drive away, while the nearby town Aljezur (13km away) offers a wonderful opportunity to connect with the authentic heart of Portuguese living – as well as the vibrant surfing scene.
