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? Spend your evenings relaxing on the terrace, drinking wine and tucking into the traditional Portuguese cuisine.  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.

Aqua Reflections

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

Just a stone's throw from the warm golden sands of Praia do Vau, this modern apartment is located in a closed complex with a large communal pool and lovely gardens. The open-plan living area boasts a cosy balcony with enough space for alfresco dining, and the main bedroom enjoys a second small balcony with room to sit out and unwind. You won't need to drive to make the most of your stay, but your host can help arrange a car rental if needed. They can also provide a range of baby equipment at an additional cost, making family holidays a breeze.

True Sunshine

Stylish interiors, a host of high-end amenities, and direct beach access – you'll know you're in for a special stay from the moment you arrive. 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

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.

The Mediterranean Townhouse

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

This modern villa promises a serene stay on the beautiful Algarve coastline. With floor-to-ceiling windows, the contemporary furnishings are bathed in natural light. As you pad around this sleek home, you’ll find everything you need for your stay – if a villa could go above and beyond, this one does. Made for outdoor living, you can soak up the Portuguese sun as you relax on a poolside lounger with your summer read or enjoy a spot of table tennis on the terrace. 

Our favourite spot, however, is the roof terrace. Boasting a Jacuzzi and quaint seating area, this is the place to be as day drifts towards night. Gather your loved ones, a selection of snacks and a bottle of wine, and watch as the sky changes from brilliant blue to amber and pink hues. As the sun finally sinks into the Atlantic Ocean, raise your glasses in a toast to a memorable family escape. 

Across the Ocean

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.

Star of Silves

Staying in this Algarve home gives you easy access to one of the region’s most beautiful beaches (Praia dos Três Irmãos is a five-minute stroll away), along with a communal pool and neighbourhood tennis courts. There’s also a private terrace and plenty of space for relaxing inside and out. It’s worth noting that the rooms are slightly dated, but it's family-friendly and there’s an adjoining annexe with two bedrooms. From here, it’s possible to walk to the restaurants and amenities in Alvor, plus it’s also within easy reach of the nearby golf courses. 

A Hundred Ways

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

Situated on a resort, this one-bedroom townhouse offers up views of the countryside and Monchique mountains. Ideal for a couples retreat, you’ll find everything you need here, with the outside terraces a real treat – perfect for relaxing on with a glass of wine. With a communal pool, tennis courts, mini golf and an on-site restaurant, you won’t need to go far to entertain yourself in the Portuguese sun. If it’s the coast you seek, the beaches of Benagil and Marinha are just a short drive away.  

On the Sun

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.
