This villa is in a semi-rural setting, offering guests a combination of privacy and stunning views. The home looks out over Faro, with vistas stretching to the coast. A vast flower-filled garden adds to the sense of seclusion, as does the 150-metre-long driveway. That said, you’re only a five-minute drive from Estoi, and you can drive to a number of beaches on the Algarve in twenty-five minutes. A great choice for families, this home comes with all the amenities you might need, so you can focus on relaxing. There’s even a pétanque court and a games room, so there’s no chance of boredom.

Nice to haves

Formerly an old ruin at the end of a dirt track, the owners of this building enlisted a group of award-winning architects to design a beautiful family home. The result is a minimalist sanctuary that celebrates the soft light, warmth and natural abundance of the Algarve. 

Nestled among wildflowers and hundreds of olive trees, this is the kind of space that sits in perfect harmony with its environment. From the indoor and outdoor living spaces to the local handmade furniture, mesmerising views and swimming pool, every detail inspires a wonderful sense of tranquillity. And just like a minimalist painting, it’s the simplicity of this home that makes it stand out. You’ll love watching the sunrise or set from the rooftop terrace, taking refreshing dips in the pool and gathering for drinks under the trees. 

Days can be spent on the golden sandy beaches of the coast, picking up fresh local delicacies at Loulé market and visiting the beautiful Fonte Benemola (where you’ll find waterfalls and lovely picnic spots nestled within the nature reserve). Wherever the day takes you, this home provides the perfect setting to unwind, relax and share delicious al fresco meals under the stars.

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.

Designed by award-winning Lisbon-based architects, Pedro Domingos Arquitectos, this home had little choice but to be exceptional. The quirky layout, coupled with a crisp colour palette and bespoke home furnishings has completely reinvigorated what was once an old ruin at the end of a dirt road. Now filled with artisanal wonder, the home sits nestled among wildflowers, olive and almond trees, and over 26 000 square feet of nature reserve. To honour the beauty of the natural surroundings, the garden has been landscaped by Lisbon-based Sigmetum so the wild seeds can grow to continually mirror the untamed beauty of Algarve.

But this home isn’t just beautiful – even though it is exceptionally so – it is no more than a twenty minute drive from some of the most breathtaking beaches, and even closer to world class golf courses. Spend the day in the sea or on the green and when you need a supply run, find stores and restaurants only five minutes away in Santa Barbara de Nexe.

Back home, we suggest barefoot explorations of every room so you can feel the cool concrete under your feet as you admire the textures and shades of the space. From the dining table, as you nurse a cup of coffee, you can watch the sun filter in through the window and cast geometric shadows across the room.

When the day starts to warm, access the pool via either of the steps and enjoy the bite of cool water against hot skin. To warm back up, you can head onto the rooftop terrace to soak up the Portuguese sun with a good vintage of wine. 

Dine alfresco next to the tree, nap with the large windows thrown wide open, shower under the stars, read curled up next to the fireplace, and admire the beauty of the home and its surroundings, but most of all, let the space rejuvenate your soul as you unwind.

Close to the beautiful beaches of the ‘Golden Triangle’, this home offers a great location along with family-friendly rooms and a private pool. By night, the terrace lends itself perfectly to evening drinks and barbecue meals. You’ll also find one of the bedrooms is located in a separate apartment on the lower ground floor – ideal for those in search of a little extra privacy. It’s worth noting you will need a car to get around here, but it’s just 3 kilometres to Almancil, while Quinta do Lago Beach is just 7 kilometres away.

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.

Perched atop a hill in Faro, this luxurious villa boasts beautiful views over the Atlantic Ocean. In a rural area, we’d advise renting a car if you’re keen to explore the city and its beautiful beaches, but you’ll find a tennis club and popular restaurant within a 10-15 minute walk if you fancy staying closer to home. We love the garden here, which comes complete with a private pool, hot tub, sound system and alfresco dining areas, meaning there are multiple spots from which to admire the scenery.

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.

Access to Beach

Designed and built for the Brazilian F1 racing driver Rubens Barrichello, this impressive villa is a haven for those who enjoy the finer things in life. It’s only natural, then, that this luxurious home is found in Quinta do Lago – one of Portugal’s most exclusive resort areas. 

The airy, open-plan living area is sleek and stylish, with glass doors and plenty of space for guests to get comfortable. Relaxation is key here – there's even your very own sauna where you can sweat out your worries, and a fitness room for invigorating workouts. Head outside, and you'll find mature gardens, an outdoor kitchen, dining furniture, and a fabulous jacuzzi. And, as if that wasn't enough, there's a sparkling swimming pool to make a splash in too. 

Keen golfers will be in paradise, given that this chic four-bedroom home overlooks the Quinta do Lago golf course, while anyone more inclined to give their credit card a workout, rather than their golf clubs, will want to head straight to the nearby Quinta Shopping Plaza. And, if you fancy a trip to the shore, then Ancao Beach is just a fifteen-minute drive away – bask on the golden sand, dip your toes in the ocean, or even try your hand at some watersports.

Wow, just wow – this awesome Algarvian home is simply the stuff dreams are made of. Promising Portuguese perfection, this captivating casa boasts mesmerising views of the surrounding landscape, a private pool, lounging, barbecuing and alfresco dining areas and an outdoor shower – and that’s all before even stepping inside. Featuring a well-equipped kitchen, a spacious living room – think cool tiled floors, whitewashed walls adorned with local artwork and a wood burning fireplace –, a separate dining room and four en-suite bedrooms, this fabulous family home really does have it all. 

You’ll love flinging the doors of the master bedroom open and watching the sun rise from the east, making your morning coffee or a glass or two of fresh orange juice made with fruit picked from the garden and lazing on sun loungers before cooling off with a refreshing dip in your private pool. Rinse off under the outdoor shower, barbecue to your heart’s content and dine alfresco on the terrace – which showcases local Santa Catarina tiles to stunning effect – before finding a rattan sofa or one of the comfortable chairs around either the pepper or the palm tree with your name on it. Watch out for sunset from the master bedroom’s west facing balcony or head to the orchard and this home’s hidden sundowner spot – perfect for a little alone time with your loved one. At chillier times of year, you’ll want to get the gang together around the granite dining table for dinner before cozying up by the fire in the living room and hosting a movie night.

As if all that wasn’t enough, this ravishing retreat is situated only minutes away from bustling market towns and the renowned sandy beaches of this unspoiled area. Your nearest town is Sao Bras with its supermarkets and Saturday market, while pretty Loule with its daily covered market is only fifteen-minutes away, as is our favourite beach at Fuseta.

There's also a large terrace with a music system – setting the tone for evening drinks and alfresco dining. Maid service is included three days a week, and your host can help organise a range of extras like children’s amenities and pool heating. You will need a car to get around here, but it’s just 5 kilometres to Garrao Beach and Almancil, putting you within striking distance of the ocean.

Light & Wonder 

Boasting ocean views in the distance, this villa on the Algarve presents a scenic spot – perfect for a relaxed family holiday. The landscaped gardens filled with Mediterranean fauna and flora create a calming setting from which to laze by the private swimming pool. Meanwhile, the villa's interiors (while dated in terms of style in parts) are dedicated to comfort and practicality. All of the bedrooms feature an en-suite bathroom, giving all guests a piece of privacy. Meanwhile, you'll be within convenient driving reach of resort towns such as  Quinta do Lago and the Algarvian coastline. 


Surf the Soul

Desk

A chic but homely sanctuary with sensational vistas of the luscious Mediterranean vegetation and seaside beyond, this villa is so much more than your Algarve base – it’s the ultimate home from home, housing everything you could ever dream of and more. 

We love the way this home is perfectly private - super spacious and all within its own pristinely manicured grounds - but equally, it’s really well connected with everything going on beyond its gates. Quinta do Lago’s best–loved golf courses are perched just minutes away, with Vale do Lobo’s bars, spas and restaurants a justly short distance from the villa. So, if you do manage to peel yourself away from your exclusive paradise, you’ll never be short of things to see and do.

The inside of this home is entirely unique – a real fusion of old and new with a curation of decorative artsy pieces and warming touches dotted from here to there. No two rooms have the same look or feel, making for an extraordinary place to enjoy the Algarve in all its glory. We’re particularly fond of the cosy living space that leads out onto the terrace – it’s just so inviting! But on the whole, the sparkliest jewel in the crown here has to be the pool.

As well as a fully–furnished terrace, balcony and open–air dining setup, as we venture outside, there’s also an aqua–blue pool just waiting for you to dip your toes in. Encircled with towering palm trees, sun loungers and parasols, its crystalline waters are blanketed by sunlight, but surrounded by shadier spots for those seeking some respite from the rays.

Begin each morning with a silky, milky coffee and a scrumptious buffet breakfast on the terrace before plunging into the pool for a rejuvenating dip. After that, the Algarve is your oyster!


Your Algarve Oasis

Based in the picturesque town of Almancil on the sunny Algarve, this luxurious villa provides a peaceful backdrop to set the scene for many happy holiday memories. It sits just a short walk from Vale do Lobo beach, where you'll find golden sands where you can recline in the sunshine and crystal-clear waters for swimming and paddling. You're also close to an amazing golf course, as well as many friendly restaurants where you can sample the local cuisine.

The outdoor areas of this home are something special – we love the gorgeous private pool with its stylish Roman steps, where you can float all afternoon with a cocktail in hand – plus the balcony where you can gaze out at the views of the lush and leafy trees around you. Inside, you'll find modern interiors with an elegant touch, with a stunning fireplace that you can gather around on chilly evenings, plus a grand dining set where you can tuck into tasty Portuguese fish stews for supper.

It's Idyllic

Sonos

Laying back on a sun lounger with a drink in hand, taking in the view from the rooftop of this luxurious villa in the Algarve, you’ll feel as if you’ve hit the jackpot. This contemporary hideaway offers everything you could want from a sunny vacation, and so much more. Head down the external staircase to the first-floor terrace to curl up with a book in the sun, or continue on down to the shimmering pool for a refreshing dip. As the day starts to cool, it will be time to fire up the barbecue for an alfresco meal under the awning – don't forget to play your favourite music on the Sonos system to soundtrack your meal. And don’t worry, cooler days are catered for too, with the option to heat the pool, underfloor heating in the bathrooms, and a luxurious whirlpool bath. The sandy shores at Praia do Garrão Nascente are just a five-minute walk away, and there are several waterside restaurants to visit if you've worked up an appetite. However, if you'd rather stick to the manicured grounds of this fantastic villa, then we don't blame you – you're truly spoilt here. 

Rooftop Sun

This home promises a peaceful Portuguese retreat, ideal for families or groups of friends. Sure, inside the traditional style of the villa may not be everyone’s cup of tea, but the outdoor space is where it really comes alive. With sun-dappled terraces, a private pool, and plenty of opportunities for alfresco dining, this home was made to make the most of the Mediterranean climate. And when the sea is calling your name, nearby Vale do Lobo beach is ready and waiting to welcome you. 

Tropical Uplift

Wheelchair Access

For those in search of a laid-back stay with easy access to the beautiful beaches of the Algarve, this home makes a great option. Some of the furnishings are a little dated, but the views will have your attention from the moment of arrival. There’s also a private swimming pool, games and a sweet terrace – perfect for sunset drinks. The bedrooms are all located on the ground floor, making it an ideal spot for families as well as those with reduced mobility. From here, it’s just a three-minute drive to the village of Santa Barbara de Nexe, while Quinta do Lago beach is just a twenty-minute drive away. 

The Rusty Rose

XBox

Tennis Court

Designed to make the most of its unmatched coastal location, this stunning three-bedroom villa offers a relaxing getaway for a family or group of friends that's sure to live long in the memory.

The open-plan living room/dining area uses neutral colours and pastel tones of green and blue to connect you to the natural beauty lying just beyond the sliding doors. The adjacent kitchen is clean and contemporary, with pristine white units and granite worktops.

Elsewhere, the three bedrooms offer welcoming spaces to retreat to during the day if you fancy some time to yourself or to unwind at the end of a sun-kissed day with good company and good food.

The kilometre-long sandy beach makes for an enticing alternative when you're not soaking up the sun by the pool or tucking into homemade meals in the outdoor dining area. Meanwhile, golf lovers should bring their clubs for a game on the two eighteen-hole championship courses.

Back in Time for Tee

Outdoor Kitchen

Just about a kilometre from the nearest sandy beach of Praia do Cavalo Preto, you will find this striking holiday villa in the quintessential Portuguese town of Quarteira. 

We love how this home brings the outside in and, indeed, the inside out – thanks in part to the huge floor-to-ceiling windows that fill the living spaces with light and provide direct access to the garden and its outdoor kitchen with dining table, laid-back seating area, and shaded terraces that are perfect for getting out of the sun and into a good book. 

In the summer months in particular, the carefully designed exterior spaces of the property are all about comfortable outdoor living – and we think you'll be amazed and just how much time you can spend outside when you have all the facilities you could need (not to mention that glorious Portuguese sun blazing triumphantly overhead). 

One of the best bits of this home has got to be that swimming pool. Tiled in a myriad of tiny mosaic tiles, the shades of which span from light turquoise to deep teal and so emulate the colours of the glistening Meditteranean Sea, and offering steps down into its refreshing waters, we think the prospect of a dip is simply too good to resist. Slide into the pool for the perfect morning wake-up call, before drying off in the sun and rejoining everyone else for breakfast to start the day off the right way. 

Does today feel like a beach day? Or perhaps you'd rather amble into Quarteira or the other small towns that dot the hills here to check out some of the cafés, restaurants, and shops. Golfers, rejoice! The fabulous clubs of Val de Lobo, Vilamoura, and Quinto do Lago are just around 5 kilometres away, so you can look forward to teeing off on some of the finest courses the Algarve has to offer. Those with a hankering for unspoilt nature are in luck too, as the Parque Natura da Ria Formosa Nature Reserve is closeby and just waiting to be explored. 

A Million Mosaics

Buzzer / Wireless Intercom

With six luxurious bedrooms, four calm-inspiring bathrooms, an opulent 70s-style living area complete with a retro-feeling full bar and finished in complementary tones of teal and copper, as well as another reception area where you'll find brightly coloured furnishings and cool pop-art style pieces adorning the walls, this home reminds us of a Bond villain's secret bolt-hole. 

Equipped with an array of gadgetry that would give Goldfinger a run for his money, the quirky kitchen boasts countertop grilling stations on a central circular island that looks as though it was lifted straight out of a space station. There is also a funky corner booth that's perfect for sitting down with a cup of coffee and the morning paper. 

Step outside and you'll find a huge garden centred around a stunning swimming pool, given an extra layer of grandeur courtesy of the pillars that surround it on three sides and around which the house wraps itself. With plenty of shaded seating areas as well as sun loungers and an authentic wood-fired churrasco, the garden provides the perfect place to relax and unwind – until it's time to entertain, party, and socialise. It's giving us major 1970s Palm Springs vibes, and we can just imagine the scene being immortalised in a Slim Adams print. 

In a family-friendly neighbourhood by the sea, the home is located 900 metres from the sandy beach of Praia do Cavalo Preto sand beach and a kilometre from the fantastically golden sands of Forte Novo. In the local area, you will have your pick of restaurants serving everything from traditional chicken piri-piri and other regional specialties made with fresh local produce, to Asian fusion, and seafood pulled from the waters around the town.

Seventies Vibes & Bougainvillea

Set eight kilometres inland from Ancao Beach, this home is within walking distance of lakeside restaurants and watersports in Encosta do Lago. For your downtime, there's a palm tree-lined garden and a poolside dining table. Though the main bedroom boasts its own balcony, those with reduced mobility will benefit from ground-floor bedrooms, en-suites, and direct access to the terrace. Fancy a round? An architect-designed golf course sits about half an hour away by car. Or Faro offers a worthwhile day trip, eighteen kilometres from here.

A Smile of the Ocean

This home exudes warmth from the moment you set eyes on it, with its peachy cream exterior. With its sunny disposition, you’re welcomed in and invited to simply kick back and relax. The outdoor space is bathed with sunlight, just the spot to lie back on a lounger, close your eyes and enjoy a little siesta. As the sun’s rays warm your skin and you listen to the happy chatter of your loved ones as they splash around in the private pool, you’ll feel utterly content. Pour yourself a glass of wine and as daylight fades, take in the abundance of stars that shine brightly in the sky above you.

With night setting in, stroll back inside and gather in the living room with your gang to enjoy a movie night – just don’t forget the popcorn. As the end credits roll, pad through to your comfortable bedroom and climb under the crisp white sheets. With the happy kind of tiredness that comes from a glorious day of doing nothing, you’ll fall asleep in no time.

Sunny From the Outside In

Combining easy access to nearby Quinto do Lago – one of Portugal’s most exclusive resorts – with seclusion and calm, this stunning villa manages to be both sleek and vibrant thanks to its funky furniture and bold use of colour. The star of the show is undoubtedly your very own resort-style pool and poolside area – dotted with sun loungers, they'll be no fighting for beds during this stay. This home is also a paradise for golf lovers, as the nearest course is just a five-minute drive away in Vale do Lobo, while keen chefs will love the island kitchen and barbecue. As the sun starts to descend behind the tall palms, take to your shaded terrace, light up the grill, and break open a bottle of beer to keep you busy while the meat sizzles. To savour views of the Atlantic Ocean, either take a five-minute stroll down to the beach at Dunas Douradas, or simply head on up to the roof terrace – pre-dinner drinks go down a treat up here. 

Birdie & Club

Located within the Golden Triangle of the Algarve, this home not only has a fantastic address but also has plenty of spots to enjoy the outdoors. There are two outdoor lounges, perfect for cocktails, and a fabulous balcony with gorgeous countryside views, as well as a sparkling pool to cool off from the Portuguese sun. We adore the vibrant bougainvillea that cascades down the walls. For those who love to entertain, there's a barbecue, heritage-style outdoor kitchen and a fire pit, so you can unwind into the evening.

This home is really primed for fun – watch a favourite film or play some pool with your family or friends in the cinema and games room – there's a little bar here too. In the living space, you'll find glossy cream floor tiles and cosy throws to snuggle up with in front of the antique-style fireplace. All bedrooms have fine linen, plush velvet, and luxurious en-suites – we particularly love the bedroom with the zebra print wallpaper.

Situated in tranquil, family-friendly Almancil, there's an excellent gourmet restaurant and many amenities just over 300 metres away. You'll find shops a short drive from this home, too. There are some amazing golf courses nearby, including one of the most famous – Vale de Lobo (2 kilometres away) – which British golfer Henry Cotton designed. Praia do Vale do Lobo beach, too, is 4 kilometres from the villa – it's ideal for those who love unspoilt beaches.

Cascading Bougainvillea

Golden beach days, beautiful scenery, leisurely rounds of golf and idyllic sunsets – this home welcomes you to enjoy it all from its privileged position in Vale do Lobo. 

Set across two floors, the owners have designed this space with total ease and comfort in mind. Spend slow mornings drifting between the swimming pool and a sun lounger, admire the views from the terrace and find a wonderful state of relaxation in the calm bedrooms. By night, the garden transforms into the perfect setting for sunset drinks, sizzling barbecue meals and star gazing. 

From here, days can be as action-packed or as slow-paced as your heart desires. Take a road trip along the coast, explore the Algarve’s beautiful beaches or simply enjoy the tranquility of your own private sanctuary. 

All Yours

Lift Access

Within driving distance of several exquisite beaches, this resort apartment is calling all sun lovers to its doors. But the proximity to Praia de Vilamoura and other sandy shores isn't the only great thing about this family pad. The shared swimming pool will keep little ones happy for hours, and there's also a communal gym and plenty of outdoor seating. The apartment itself has a balcony where you can enjoy alfresco meals together. Two guests will be sleeping on the sofa bed in the living space. We can see it being best for kids, but there's enough room for it to work for a couple, too.

Algarve's Sanctuary

Located in the exclusive Vale do Lobo, less than a fifteen-minute walk from the eponymous beach and a short stroll from two golf courses, this villa is perfectly placed for a relaxing stay in the sunshine. The interiors are modern, homely and instantly inviting. Begin the day in the bright living space with a cup of coffee before putting together a breakfast spread in the fully-equipped kitchen. Dine together on the terrace then plunge into the pool and splash about with your loved ones. 

After a table tennis tournament in the games room, slip on your sandals and stroll down to the seafront or drive over to Quarteira for a wander along the promenade with an ice cream in hand. If you’re feeling adventurous, embark on a boat tour to the Benagil Caves. When the day draws to a close, return to your abode for a barbecue in the balmy evening air followed by a glass or two of Portuguese wine. 

Memórias Doces

This modern villa located in Quinta do Lago invites a family or group of friends to enjoy a peaceful stay on a private resort just a short drive from Faro. Featuring a heated swimming pool, a vast open terrace and a large lawned garden, the home encourages guests to soak up the surrounding nature at every opportunity. The interiors are just as inviting, with a sociable open-plan main living set-up dressed in chic minimalist designs. Luxury finishing touches include a Sonos Sound System and an en-suite bathroom per bedroom suite, allowing guests to detach from the rest of the group to recharge in privacy after days on the beach or nearby golf courses. 





Blue Indigo

The Algarve is famous for its cove beaches, fantastic climate, and quaint, coastal towns. While you could spend every day lazing on the golden shores and sipping chilled glasses of vinho verde, this apartment offers altogether more exciting options. Less than 2 km from the Praia de Vale do Lobo (your nearest beach), the home is located within a championship golf course and beach resort. Meaning while you’re here, you’ll have access to the resort bus and pool, plus golf courses, a spa, fitness centre, tennis court, and watersports facilities. On top of this, your host will be on hand to arrange anything you fancy, from day trips to private, in-house chefs. As if all this wasn’t enough to keep you busy, this treetop apartment boasts its own VIP amenities. The decor is sleek, modern, and elegant. On a rare chilly evening, you can curl up in front of the stylish fireplace, hanging from the ceiling of the living room. But most of the time, you’ll be sliding the glass doors open to head outdoors. We love the rooftop hot tub and lounge deck, where a barbecue and outdoor dining table make for dreamy alfresco dinners under the pergola.

Golf View

For those in search of the natural simplicity and beauty of the Algarve, this home delivers the perfect setting for a dream-worthy coastal escape. 

Wander through a blossoming garden of olive and almond trees, savour the sweet sound of birdsong while swaying in a hammock and embrace the refreshing spirit of outdoor living from one of the swimming pools. There’s also a daily meal service – ensuring every moment of your stay is elevated to the height of relaxation. 

From here, take an atmospheric boat ride to the nearest beach, explore the Ria Formosa Natural Park or simply spend your days drifting between a sun lounger and the shady terrace. 

By sunset, the serene garden transforms into the perfect setting for golden hour drinks and candlelit meals. Immersed in the carefree spirit of coastal living, these are the nights you’ll remember long after you return home. 

Wild Peace

If you’re searching for an Algarve getaway that’s away from the hustle and bustle of the main tourist spots, it’s time to stop scrolling. This home may be simple in design, but its enviable location more than makes up for it. Comfortable for six – providing two people are happy to sleep on the sofa bed – this apartment places you in the heart of Loulé for a true taste of Portuguese life. Stroll the cobbled streets of this charming market town and you’ll find hidden gems around every corner. Our top tip? Stop by the Loulé municipal market for some local produce and handicrafts.

Loulé Charm

Exercise Equipment

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.

Vibrant Radiant

Shared Pool

Tucked away in Vilamoura, this cosy apartment is an ideal base for exploring all that the Algarve has to offer. As you’d expect with a studio, space is limited here, but you’ll find everything needed for a comfortable stay. While it can sleep three guests, with one on the sofa bed, it’s worth noting that it’s an open space – for this reason, we think it’s better suited to a couple or small family who don’t mind sharing. That said, with Vilamoura beach and golf courses galore nearby, along with the communal pool to cool off in the heat, you’re bound to be out and about most days.

Underfloor Heating

This dreamy villa, surrounded by greenery, offers you a lush escape from hectic city life. It's located in the new Quinta Verde resort, close to Quinta do Lago – one of Portugal's premier golf resorts. 

As you'd anticipate from such an upmarket location, the home is glorious. It certainly makes quite the first impression thanks to a full-height entrance hall, complete with a chandelier and grand marble staircase leading up to the main en-suite bedroom. Stood beneath the chandelier, you'll find your eye drawn to the living room and pool area beyond – perfect for a refreshing swim at any time of the day. 

Despite its regal and luxurious air, the villa also manages to feel homey and relaxed. This is a place where a family can dine, lounge and chat together for hours, enjoying the Algarve's year-round sunshine. At the end of the day, make your way to any of the four bedrooms. Each one feels as though it was tailor-made for pampering and relaxation.

You'll be staying just fifteen kilometres from Faro, so you can easily drop by for a spot of sightseeing, and if you want to nip over to Spain for a day trip, the national parks near the port city of Huelva are a little over an hour away.

Fifth Element

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

Beach Essentials

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.
