We love the decor of this home, with swinging chairs and a funky mural that make it feel warm and welcoming.

Put your bartender hat on and practice making cocktails at the rooftop bar, and sip the night away listening to your favourite songs. 

The living room boasts a balcony that has a gorgeous view of the ocean, giving you ample opportunity to see the plethora of boats that sail past daily. You'll find two beaches nearby, so you can spend your days in the sun with the sand between your toes. There's also a variety of eateries in the area, so take your pick and dine out in style.

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.

Private Parking

Design lovers will appreciate the natural harmony of this home. From the locally sourced furnishings to the eco-friendly features and calm aesthetic, every detail has been considered to inspire optimum relaxation. Outside, you can enjoy beautiful views while lounging on the roof terrace. There is also a swimming pool and the outdoor courtyard lends itself perfectly to alfresco dining. You might find it hard to leave this private sanctuary, but it’s just a short drive to Santa Bárbara de Nexe, while Faro is just twenty minutes away. 

The Sunset Muse

Jacuzzi

Tucked away in Silves in the Algarve region, a short drive from Marinha Beach and within walking distance of the historic castle and town centre, this apartment is a modern pad for couples or small families. You'll have private use of a jacuzzi and a terrace, complete with a barbecue, so you can enjoy alfresco meals together. While some areas of the home are a little compact, you’ll find everything you need to feel right at home. If you’re planning to travel as a group of four, keep in mind two people will be sleeping on the sofa bed in the living area.

Algarve Bubbles

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

Shared Pool

Lift Access

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.

Natural Treasures

Courtyard

Rooftop Terrace

Moorish architecture and charm are at every turn with a stay at this crisp, contemporary townhouse set right in the beating heart of Tavira, one of the Algarve's most dazzling coastal town gems. Discover its shady squares, leafy gardens, a crumbling hilltop castle, and an old Roman bridge above the Gilão River. And just wait until you hop on the ferry bound for the unspoilt golden shores of Ilha de Tavira. Stretching for over ten kilometres and flanked by straw parasols and beachside restaurants, this is the East Coast at its best.

When it's time to beat the heat and rest up at home, you'll love this three-storey townhouse's fresh and uplifting interiors. Once a former olive mill, the house has been carefully converted with light-filled rooms throughout, thanks to Juliet balconies and terraces galore. Each bedroom and ensuite sits on a separate floor, so there's plenty of space to spill out. And when it's time to get together and soak up the sunshine, you can't go wrong with an afternoon lolling about the shared pool and terraces surrounded by fragrant citrus trees and magenta bougainvillaea.

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

Rain Shower

Juicer

Ideally located to explore a number of sandy beaches on the Portuguese coast, this beautiful home exemplifies modern beach living. Instead of a quaint space with the nautical themes you’d usually expect, this villa opts for high-spec design, carefully curated furnishings, and a beautiful colour palette of crisp white and bold pops of yellow. Relying on the many windows for a steady stream of natural light, it feels fresh and like the ideal space for the whole family to unwind together. 

Spend long afternoons outdoors where you can either find fun in the private pool, or tap into your less productive side as you lounge around with a drink and some snacks, basking happily in the sun until you feel it’s time to head into the shade. 

Fire up the barbecue at lunch so you can grill a Mediterranean feast to be enjoyed alfresco. Afterwards, find a beanbag to nap in or head out for a walk to the supermarket. There are also a number of restaurants not too far away if you’d like to experience authentic local cuisine instead, but cooking in the sleek kitchen can be a joy if you’d like to try out a new recipe. 


Custard Yellow

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.

Nice to haves

This beautiful villa, tucked away in the Portugeuse countryside, offers plenty of space for relaxaction but it's not so secluded that it will rob you of experiencing some of the finest beaches and sights, all just a quick drive away. 

Step inside to find bright interiors, exposed beams, and a homely atmosphere that'll make you feel at ease from the moment you arrive. Though some standout features include the vaulted ceilings in the living room, the games room, and your private cinema, the outdoor area is the true hero. Imagine relaxing under one of the daffodil-yellow patio umbrellas as you soak up every last bit of sun before cooling down in the private pool. 

The pool house offers another space in which to get comfortable with a glass of wine, but it's also where you’ll find the outdoor kitchen and pizza oven. Put your dough skills to the test, baking your creations before enjoying it alfresco with an ice-cold beer. Wander around outside to discover various seating areas, but don't miss the rooftop terrace – it's perfect for sunset drinks or nightcaps under the stars. 

Buttercups by the Ocean

Single-Level Home

Outdoor Shower

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

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.

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.

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

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. 




Tide Down 

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

For a tranquil stay in Lagos, look no further than this ground-floor apartment. Porto Mós Beach is just 500m away and is easily reachable by car. There's space on the private terrace to dine alfresco, while the communal swimming pool is just steps from your doorstep. Parties and excessive noise strictly aren't permitted at this condominium, so a relaxing trip is guaranteed. For an additional fee, your host can arrange a variety of services to make your stay extra special, including local food hampers, airport transfers, and even private chefs.

By the Seaside

Ideal for families, this villa in the Algarve is a relaxing base. It’s in the resort of Quinta da Balaia in the centre of the Algarve, a twenty-minute walk from beaches including Santa Eulalia and Oura. There are golf courses nearby, and the hustle and bustle of the city centre is just 1 kilometre away. There’s plenty to see and do in the vicinity, so you’ll be grateful to have such a calm space to return home to. We love the private pool and the alfresco dining setup, which makes spending time together outside a breeze.

Anyone in search of a more simple and peaceful way of life will fall in love with this home. 

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.

Drop off your bags and make a beeline for your private rooftop terrace, complete with sun loungers, a dining area and stunning sea views. Mornings begin out here, clutching an iced coffee and a pastel de nata as you decide whether it's a relaxing day by the pool or a fun-filled trip to the golden sand of Praia da Rocha, just 500m away. 

The sleek sliding glass doors set up seamless indoor-outdoor living, bathing the home in natural sunlight. Stepping inside, you'll find a plush island kitchen with a sociable breakfast bar that means you can cook for your guests while chatting over a glass of wine. Traditional azulejo-tiled flooring and duck egg blue walls create a soothing space to relax, while the bedrooms are just as modern and peaceful – there's even a dedicated desk area for those working from home. 

When you're not working or simply basking in the blissful atmosphere of your sun-soaked terrace, head downstairs for a refreshing dip in the communal pool. Alternatively, keep up your weekly fitness routine with a swim in the resort's indoor pool or a workout in the well-equipped gym. Later, don your finest tennis whites on the shared courts as the sun goes down, before rustling up a grilled supper on the barbecue patio.

If you can peel yourself away from this light-filled apartment and the resort's fabulous amenities, take some time to discover the old port city of Portimão just a short drive away. As evening draws in, we recommend a trip to the old marina for dinner – you'll find a sprinkling of waterfront restaurants and cocktail bars lining the harbour. 

Portimão Promises

Hidden away in the small town of Praia da Luz, this cool coastal apartment is the perfect base for your next trip to the Algarve. 

It’s the location that’s the selling point here – not only are you surrounded by a whole host of authentic bars and eateries, but you’re just two minutes from the town’s eponymous beach, ideal for relaxing under the hot Portuguese sun or cooling off in the blue waters of the Atlantic. 

The house itself is nothing to scoff at though. Boasting a large open-plan living area and pleasing views of the sea, it’s the perfect place to unwind after a day of being out and about in the Algarve.  Sink into the comfy living room sofa or step out onto the private terrace and enjoy a cool glass of wine under the evening sun. When it’s time to eat, cook up a storm in the kitchen or treat your entourage to a meal at Fortaleza da Luz, a castle-turned-eatery within striking distance of your apartment. Tuck into a delicious seafood cataplana and gaze out at the gorgeous coastline as you sip a glass of the region’s best wine. We don’t know about you, but we can't think of a better way to spend an evening. 

Golden Sunlight

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. 

With a Dash of Lime

Located in a quiet area of Lagos, this holiday apartment boasts two private balconies, each with outdoor seating and lovely views. One overlooks the communal swimming pools which are sure to be a hit with kids, while the adults will appreciate the building's shared gym. Your host can provide a range of extras here, from luxuries like private chefs to conveniences like airport transfers and food hampers. Beach towels can be rented for days out at the nearby Meia Praia, and we think you'll want a car here for easy beach trips. Excessive noise and parties aren't permitted, so you can rest assured your stay will be peaceful and undisturbed.

Portuguese Delight

Secured Parking

Can’t bear the thought of a holiday without the sand and sea nearby? You’re in luck – this home drops you a mere five-minute stroll from Porto de Mós beach. Whether you get your adrenaline kicks from watersports or simply want to sunbathe, adventure and relaxation are never far away. Add some delicious waterside eateries to the mix, and you’re onto a winner. Back home, this fuss-free apartment provides everything you need – communal swimming pool included.
