Admire the aquamarine sea and blue hues in this amazing villa. The roof terrace is where you'll be spending most of your time, with a gas barbeque, bar, and a pool, what else could you want?

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.

Whether you're enjoying breakfast on the terrace, taking an afternoon dip in the private pool or ending the evening with cocktails under the stars, this breezy villa is made for relaxing. Life is easy as can be here. One glance at the sun beaming in the clear blue skies and you'll feel your troubles melt away. 

Spend your days lolling about in the garden, dashing between the swimming pool to the lounge chairs and back again. Need a break from the rays? Stretch out on the leather sofas for a quick snooze in the living area, then wake up to the smell of piri-piri chicken sizzling on the barbecue. As the night slowly rolls in, gather the whole brood together and dine alfresco on the covered terrace, keeping the conversation (and the local wine) flowing well into the night. 

When you fancy a change of scenery, set off and explore Carvoeiro. Both the town and beach are within walking distance, so you'll be able to enjoy the variety of restaurants, cafes and scenic outlooks on foot. Also worth doing is The Seven Valleys hike – the perfect way to admire the Algarve's stunning scenery.

Enjoy a charming stay at this stylish townhouse, based on the western side of Lagoa in Portugal. This peaceful abode features serene interiors, together with gorgeous outdoor areas – along with all the mod cons necessary to make your stay convenient and comfortable. We are particularly impressed with the sunny roof terrace, complete with loungers and sun umbrellas – creating a private little paradise where you can kick back and relax.

Start each day with a delicious Portuguese breakfast of fresh breads, cheeses and meats, and tuck in at your trendy breakfast bar. Spend the afternoon sunbathing on your roof terrace with a glass of Prosecco from the wine cooler, or enjoying the shade on your hidden courtyard with a good book. As the evening rolls in, gather round your wood burner fireplace or cosy up on the sofa with a movie on the TV.

You’re perfectly located to explore Lagoa from your little townhouse, with the Lady in Red gallery being a short journey away, as well as lots of bars and restaurants right on your doorstep. Or, venture a little further out to see the Benagil caves, and take a kayaking tour around this jaw-dropping nature spot.

If you're looking for some of Europe's finest beaches then this charming villa in the beautiful wine region of Caramujeira, just a short drive from Praia da Marinha and Praia de Benagil is right on the money. Inside, it's traditional and stylish. There's a considered use of homely touches, from the whicker decor and local photography to the antique urn and small stove fireplace, so you'll feel right at home from the get-go. 

Now, correct us if we're wrong, but summer in the Algarve is best spent outdoors. And, at this pretty villa, you'll have a choice of several outdoor sitting and dining areas to bask in the warm weather. While away sun-soaked afternoons in the hammock, sip poncha cocktails on the sun loungers, and fire up the barbecue in the outdoor kitchen for a lazy lunch on the shady terrace.

When it's time to head out, head to Benagil for hidden sea caves and picturesque hiking trails between the limestone cliffs, just a short drive from your doorstep. If you’d like to soak up the local history and culture, the lively village of Carvoeiro, where you'll find many feel-good eateries, boutique shops and hip bars, is just 5 kilometres away.

A Pretty Portuguese Dream

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.

Offering far-reaching sea views and situated just a short walk from the sandstone cliff-backed beach, this central Carvoeiro is superbly situated to make the most of a sun-soaked break to the breathtaking Algarve coast.

Wake up each morning to the sound of the waves lapping at the shore, as you sip a coffee on the spacious balcony out front and watch the town come to life around you. Step back through the sliding doors and you'll find a recently renovated living space and kitchen that is both casual and contemporary – the perfect match for your beachside setting. 

In the bedroom, an abundance of storage space helps maintain the relaxed minimalist style, while a vast super king-size bed guarantees a comfortable night's sleep. In addition, floor-to-ceiling sliding doors offer easy access to the balcony.

The former fishing village of Carvoeiro boasts one of the finest beaches along this picturesque stretch of the coast. However, there's more on offer than soaking up the sun on its golden sands. Those with a sense of adventure might like to embark on a boat trip to the magnificent Benagil cave. Alternatively, why not rise early and set out on the 12km out-and-back Sete Vales trail, with its spectacular clifftop coastal vistas.

If we could set the scene for your dream holiday, what would it look like? If you’re imagining a private villa – with a pool, naturally – with space for family and friends to gather and views of the ocean stretching out before you, then this is the home for you. Situated close to Carvoeiro, you’re close enough to all the action, but far enough away that you can soak up the peace and tranquillity that this home offers in bucket loads. 

It’s not just about the location with this home, either. Step inside, and you’re met with pure elegance. Your living area offers a sofa big enough for everyone to sink into and share stories about their day. The open-plan kitchen and dining area is chic and classy, allowing whoever is on cooking duties for the evening to still be a part of the conversation with those gathered around the dining table. Of course, you may not want to cook – if not, there’s a delightful Italian restaurant a mere 100 metres away. 

Wander out onto your terrace, and your eyes will be drawn to the sea vistas. Take a refreshing dip in your private pool and gaze out over the ocean as you feel the breeze coming off the coast and brushing over your skin, leaving the salt water scent hanging in the air. After a while, settle down on a sun lounger with your holiday read and get lost in another world as the Portuguese sun warms your skin. The only downside to this beautiful home, is that you may never want to leave.

Effortlessly chic and perched high over the Atlantic Ocean, this home gets full marks from us. Not only is every inch beautifully decorated, but we adore the focus on sustainability – think solar panels, recycled materials and wastewater systems. The furniture (including the wardrobes) is constructed with repurposed wood, the plates and dishes made by local Portuguese craftsmen and the gorgeous white marble countertop is from Alentejo, so there's an emphasis on local products, too.

Besides its eco-credentials, we love how sleek this home is. Several elegant living spaces seamlessly flow into sophisticated terraces with plenty of comfortable seating and breathtaking views. Jump into the immaculate pool for a refreshing swim, then hang out on the sun loungers and revel in the fact that you don't need to do anything but relax. Come dinnertime, rustle up a meal in the bright kitchen and dine alfresco, watching the sunset over the water as you share a bottle of Portuguese wine. Sounds like heaven, right?

If you want to explore the area, nearby Carvoeiro has plenty of charming restaurants, bars and picturesque beaches. Praia da Marinha is a ten-minute drive, Praia da Benagi is reachable in thirteen, while the clifftop boardwalk and seaside eateries in town are just fifteen minutes away.

For What It’s Earth

Ping Pong Table

Fenced Property

Safe

Seeking a restful holiday in a former fishing village? This home is ideal for those craving a real taste of the Algarve. While the bright interior is inviting, the outdoor living space makes this villa a winner. With several seating spots to choose from, you can sunbathe poolside or play ping pong as the barbecue sizzles. Vale de Centeanes beach is only 700 metres away, but Carvoeiro boasts lovely bars and restaurants. What's more, boat tours and thematic nights can be arranged for you.

Sea Full Of A Dream

You’ll find this cosy townhouse on a small condominium in the Algarve. You’ll have beautifully landscaped gardens and a shared swimming pool at your disposal, which is ideal if you’re travelling with the little ones in tow. The home itself has a terrace with plenty of seating to enjoy the sunshine. We love this home’s location – Praia da Marinha is within walking distance and has been voted one of the most beautiful beaches in the world thanks to its hidden caves and clear turquoise waters.

The Garden of Algarve

From golden sandy beaches, rugged cliffs and spectacular views to traditional whitewashed buildings nestled on the shoreline, the town of Carvoeiro perfectly embodies the magic of the Algarve. And just a fifteen walk from its centre, this home offers peace and tranquillity with the gentle sound of swaying palm trees and an abundance of space for quality time together.
 
On arrival, you’ll find the living and dining room open up onto a garden, inviting you to slide open the doors and bask in the big-sky views and laid-back ambience. From here, days can be spent lounging by the pool, reading in the shade and gathering for golden-hour barbecue meals filled with the authentic flavours of Portugal. 

Located in Areias Dos Moinhos, it’s just a fifteen-minute walk down to the beach where you can while away the day embracing the waves, and soaking up the atmosphere from one of the nearby bars or restaurants. For explorations further afield, take a trip to the historic town of Silves (less than a twenty-minute drive away), or set sail on a boat trip along the coast. 

Wherever the day takes you, this home makes for an idyllic setting for sunset drinks and total relaxation. You’ll find the four bedrooms equipped with air conditioning and everything you could need for a restorative night’s rest.

Céu Azul

Library of Books

Promising panoramic ocean views, this palatial villa stands proudly on the golden cliffs above Praia da Marinha. Drive through the gated entrance and delight in the grandeur of this historic estate, where a private path escorts you down to the magical beach.

Notice how the white-washed exterior contrasts completely with the dark-wooded design downstairs. Each room is simply bursting with character, allowing you to wake up in a sumptuous bedroom before enjoying an alfresco breakfast on the patio.

Surrounded by idyllic garden paths and pretty flower beds, there are Roman steps leading you into a large pool – perfect for summertime swimming. After a snooze in the hammock, why not grill piri-piri chicken on the barbecue?

When it's time to explore, head inland and see the sculptures at Sand City, or rent a boat and admire the Algarve from the water. Showcasing religious art and wood carvings, you'll love gathering your family in this formal dining room – you can even arrange to have a Portuguese feast cooked for you.

You’ll find this villa a mere five-minute walk from Centeanes beach – so, if you’re searching for a coastal holiday, this home will tick your boxes. Nestled on the outskirts of Caroveiro, when dining out tickles your fancy, it’s a short stroll to a plethora of restaurants and only fifteen minutes on foot to the town centre. Of course, you have to tear yourself away from the villa first – which, given its private pool, sun-drenched terraces and Atlantic Ocean views, won’t be easy. To add to its appeal, the annexe, separate from the main villa, provides an extra level of privacy for two guests.

Seashell Villa

DVD Library

Overlooking the Atlantic Ocean, this chic home promises a privileged position on the Algarve. Only a 350-metre amble from your front door, why not sunbathe on the cliff-hugged Praia da Marinha – widely considered one of Europe's best beaches for scenic beauty? Alternatively, we think a trip to Carvoeiro is worth the 9 kilometre drive for its watersports and nightlife. Further inland, birdwatchers flock to the Arrozal Nossa Senhora do Rosário.

With its cosy fireplace and cooling marble floors, this beautiful villa serves as a great home base during any time of year. If you don't fancy dining under the domed ceiling, simply serve your meals alfresco, instead. Just imagine unwinding beneath blue skies and treating everyone to poolside cocktails. Once you grow peckish after a coastal adventure, how about firing up the barbecue and trying Portuguese piri-piri chicken? Later on, sneak away from your loved ones and savour a peaceful moment, admiring the elevated sea views from the sun-soaked terrace.

Along the Coast

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

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.

Occupying a prime position on the Algarve, this sleek and stylish one-bedroom apartment has been recently renovated by your host, transforming it into a perfect for a romantic couple's getaway, or for the solo traveller looking to experience the best of southern Portugal.

The apartment is situated within a family-friendly resort, just a short walk from the picturesque former fishing village of Carvoeiro. With its sandstone sea cliffs and horseshoe-shaped bay, it's easy to see why it's regarded as one of the Algarve's best beaches. Beyond the beach, plenty of visitors to the area make the short trip to the remarkable Benagil Cave by boat or head along the coast to take in the finest natural scenery the Algarve has to offer, hiking the clifftop Sete Vales trail.

However, if you don't feel like venturing far, extensive on-site facilities mean there's not much need to leave. With a vast outdoor pool, tennis courts, several restaurants and even a diving school, the scene is set for a restorative getaway with your significant other.

Ceramic Animal

Ferragudo is dubbed the prettiest village in Portgual, and its charm is showcased beautifully with this luxury townhouse. With just as much outdoor space as indoor space, you'll be enjoying the warm Portuguese weather in no time. Go for a dip in the private plunge pool, with views of the surrounding skyline beneath gorgeous blue skies. Take advantage of the underfloor heating in the morning, and make your first coffee of the day as natural sunlight pours in through the sliding doors to greet you.

With shops, restaurants, and beautiful alleys filled with flowers that Ferragudo is known for all within walking distance, you won't need to worry about planning long drives to make the most of your stay here. And being indoors won't stop you from admiring this beautiful historic village – if watching the sunset as you dine alfresco or float in the pool with a drink isn't enough, you can always head up to the second terrace, one level higher with a plush lounge area where you can see all the way out to the horizon for that extra elevated feel.

Soft Waves & Street Flowers

This home is perfectly positioned to explore the charming oceanside town of Carvoeiro and the broader Algarve region of sunny Portugal. With its child-friendly features, we think this is the perfect holiday home for a family or group of families, and the play area and basketball net will keep kids entertained while you enjoy the leisurely living this home offers. While the kids splash away in their very own pool, it’s easy to let your mind wander while you sip your favourite beverage poolside. 

Inside, the tiled floors speak to its Portuguese charm, and the sprawling outdoor terrace beckons you to feel the sun’s warmth on your skin. After you wake up in the comfy confines of your bed, take in the salty ocean air from the upper patio with a cold brew in hand. Adventure out to the centre of town for a glass of ginja in one of the many beachfront bars before you enjoy a sit-down meal in a local restaurant, serving up traditional delicacies. 


A Sunny Respite

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.

This two-storey villa in the Algarve offers up a stunning outdoor space that's just perfect for relaxing. Surrounded by vegetation and with an alfresco dining area, this house shines (pardon the pun) best when you're outside. And with each bedroom having French doors, you're never more than a few seconds from the sun. A car might be a good idea here, with the nearest beach two miles away – a little further afield, you'll also find the popular beachside resort of Carvoeiro. When you prefer to stay closer to home, there are plenty of eateries and shops in the local vicinity.

Outdoor Kitchen

At the foot of Castelo de Ferragudo, this former carriage house is now a contemporary retreat in the heart of town. Not only are you close to restaurants, nightlife and shops in the city centre, but you're also a mere two-minute walk from Praia Grande beach. You'd never be able to tell this home's history from the sleek and modern interiors. There's plenty of room, but we think it's a tight fit for all sixteen guests – especially since some of the bedrooms are on the smaller side. Outside is a sparkling pool and alfresco dining space. Why not kick your holiday up a notch and hire a private chef to do all the cooking for you?

The Petal

Tucked away in a residential part of town, this Portimão villa is perfect for a family or group of friends looking for an Algarve oasis. The outdoor areas will occupy most of your time here – pools are always welcome, the Jacuzzi is ideal for evening cocktails, and the alfresco dining area and barbecue mean you'll rarely need to venture inside. Speaking of indoors, you'll find several living areas in the open and airy space – ideal if the heat gets too much. And while you won't find much to do in the immediate area, you're a thirty-five-minute bus journey from the beach, and the palm-tree-lined Ribeirinha Promenade is just fifteen minutes away.

Suddenly Portimão

Sitting pretty close to the Algarve's celebrated coastline, this villa treats guests to a panoramic view of the region's white rooftops and the Mediterranean Sea from the terrace up on the third floor – and this isn't the only bit of outside space. Head back down to the ground level and you'll find a peaceful private garden that leads out to larger communal grounds and a shared swimming pool.

Although you'll undoubtedly be spending a vast amount of your time here outside, you'll like what you see when you eventually have to head indoors. There's a traditional edge to the design, what with the terracotta tiles underfoot and the colourful artwork hung on whitewashed walls, but other parts feel way more contemporary – the bright and airy kitchen and bathrooms, in particular. 

When you want to see a little more of the local region, the local town of Armação de Pêra can be easily reached on foot and offers a 6km-long stretch of bay, plus lots of restaurants and nightlife. Further along the coastline, the destinations of Albufera and Faro, as well as a huge number of golf courses, lie not too far away by car.

Hugs & Kisses

This lovely townhouse is a great choice for a relaxing break in Portugal. You’ll have multiple terraces to unwind on and can enjoy ocean views. The swimming pool is shared with nearby homes, but when you want to spread out more you can stroll to Praia Grande to kick back on the beach. You’ll also be close to the attractive fishing village of Ferragudo, where you can meander along the seafront and dine alfresco. This home is a little dated in places so it won’t suit those seeking a slick, modern abode, but it’s a comfortable base, and the outside space is a real treat.

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

Nestled in one of the oldest towns in the Algarve, among the rooftops and winding roads, you’ll find this quirky townhouse. With 360 panoramic views over Silves and beyond, this home offers front row seats to the Mediterranean sunrise.

This home merges the old and new effortlessly, blending contemporary design with a historic backdrop for a truly unique travel experience. Step out of the patio doors and into the plunge pool for a refreshing dip before heading off for a day in the Old Town.

When you’re not out exploring the narrow streets and local landmarks, there’s plenty to see at home thanks to a roof terrace that houses an outdoor kitchen, sofa and even a shower if you’re in need of some relief from the Portuguese sun. The ideal date-night spot, have a go at cooking some local dishes together before retiring to the sun lounger to stargaze with a glass of wine.

Just outside Carvoeiro, with its stunning coastlines and dramatic natural scenery, you’ll find this charming home-away-from-home. Away from the hustle and bustle, you have everything you need here for a peaceful retreat. 

As you walk up to this villa, you’ll be captivated by the gardens, which are clearly a labour of love. Beautiful green grass, an abundance of flowers that wrap their scent around you, and palm trees rustling gently in the breeze. Calmness will wash over you – this home is inviting you to relax. Wander through the front door, and light bounces off the white walls as it pours in through the generous windows. The living area is cosy and welcoming, just the place to snuggle down with your loved ones at the end of the day. 

Your days are meant to be spent outdoors here. Whether lounging in the Portuguese sun with a glass of wine while others enjoy the private pool, or dining alfresco, there’s so much to enjoy. The yellow sun loungers and umbrellas cast a happy vibe – it really is all sunshine and flowers here. Fire up the barbecue and as it sizzles gently in the background, listen to the backdrop of birdsong. As night falls, look up to the blanket of stars stretched out above you. It’s the perfect way to end the day. 

Sunshine Blooms

Bursting with vibrant colour from the beautiful gardens surrounding this home, you’ll feel at ease as soon as you arrive. Our favourite spot was the outdoor space – it's the ideal place to relax for the duration of your stay. The private pool is the main attraction – just perfect for cooling down amidst the Portuguese heat. For those who could stretch out in the sun all day, the loungers allow you to do so – all you’ll need is a cool beverage in hand. As lunchtime rolls around, light the barbecue and indulge in a tasty snack on the wrap-around terrace, complete with countryside and sea views.

Inside, the home is full of traditional charm. In colder months, light the fire in the dining room for a cosy evening meal, tucking into a delicious home-cooked dinner as the fire casts a glow around the room. When you’re keen to explore, we’d recommend a trip to nearby Praia da Marinha beach – with glorious sunsets, it’s the most serene place to end the day.

Floral Burst

Nestled on the banks of the Arade River, this luxurious villa offers a rural retreat with spectacular surroundings. The outdoor space is the star of the show here, with a hot tub, balcony, multiple terraces, saltwater pool and outdoor kitchen providing a number of picturesque spots from which to admire views over the countryside. The historic town of Silves is just three kilometres away, where you can soak up some of the area’s history thanks to ancient castles, market halls and an array of restaurants and bars. 

The Algarve Dream

Nestled close to the historic town of Silves and Algarve's sandy beaches, this home captures every bit of sunshine in its expansive pool and lavish terraces. Avocado and citrus trees provide shade in the garden, for when you just need a bit of peace and quiet, but there are also plenty of activities around. Whether that’s the tennis court, table tennis and table football, or the bikes provided, you aren’t going to run short of things to keep you busy. We’d also recommend trying your hand at the barbecue – a converted bread oven – which adds to the rustic feel of the home.
