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.

There's no need to draw straws for the best bedroom at this Vilamoura apartment. Each room with an en-suite bathroom leads directly to a sweeping balcony with distant sea views. While the apartment isn't one of the most central homes in our Vilamoura portfolio, you'll be rewarded with peace and quiet around that shared swimming pool and communal lawned gardens. When the coast comes calling, you're just a 2.5km drive from the beach, and there's a cluster of bars, restaurants and supermarkets just a five-minute drive away.

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

Laptop Friendly Workspace

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

DVD Library

Heated Pool

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

Outdoor Pool

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

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. 

Vilamoura Glee

Espresso Machine

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.

Beach / Pool Towels

Just a short walk from Quarteira beach, this apartment is all about the location. The rooms might be simple, but there’s a great little roof terrace with a barbecue – perfect for al fresco dining. And if you’re here for total relaxation (with no cooking), you’ll find a great selection of restaurants and bars within easy walking distance. It’s also a great base from which to explore the Algarve – Vilamoura is just a short drive away.

Summer Waves

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.

Situated in Vilamoura, this villa promises a tranquil retreat for a family or group of friends on an Algarve getaway. Comfortable for eight people, there’s plenty of space to spread out here and with each bedroom boasting its own en-suite, there won’t be a queue to get ready in the mornings. With sun-kissed terraces and a private pool, this home welcomes outdoor living and encourages you to make the most of the Mediterranean climate. And when you’re keen to explore the local area, Vilamoura marina is a leisurely fifteen-minute stroll away.

Experience the Algarve in all its dazzling glory at this family-size villa offering extra facilities and perks to sweeten the deal. Situated near the old village of Vilamoura, it's approximately a fifteen-minute walk from the sparkling marina, while the pristine sand of Praia de Vilamoura is only 1 kilometre from your door. 

Inside, you'll find a blend of traditional Algarvian styling with modern craftsmanship to create a comfortable home. There's a real sense of calm throughout the villa, with muted tones, soft furniture, and Santa Catarina floor tiles. Cook up a storm in the contemporary island kitchen and enjoy meals around the long dining table for up to ten guests. Designed with ease in mind, there are five calming bedrooms, each with an ensuite bathroom and walk-in showers, so each morning gets off to a peaceful start.

When it comes to filling your days, there's plenty at home to keep you occupied. While away sun-soaked afternoons with a cocktail by your private pool, fire up the barbecue for lazy lunches at the outdoor dining area, before heading to the tennis court later on and serving up the aces. 

Tell Me Vilamoura

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

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.

Welcome Hamper

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.

Safe

Looking for a no-fuss holiday home in the Algarve? You’ve found it. Inside, clutter-free spaces give way to the sunny patio, where you’ll find loungers for afternoon snoozes and a private pool for cooling off when the day heats up. There’s also a top-floor terrace with a seating area – the best spot to enjoy the welcome drink provided by your host. You’ll need a car if you intend on exploring – fortunately, Vilamoura’s shops, restaurants and beach are only a short drive away.


Algarve Minimalism

When it comes to soaking up the sunshine, the Algarve never disappoints – and, it has to be said, neither does this home. You can dine alfresco in the garden and cool off in the private pool – although both are slightly overlooked by neighbours. Upstairs, a balcony with lounge chairs is an ideal spot to savour a cocktail. If the weather isn't up to its usual standards, the indoor patio makes a nice escape – we're big fans of the hand-painted tiles and skylight. Another thing we enjoy is the location. You're about ten minutes from Vilamoura's buzzing marina and beaches, with easy access to the rest of the coastline when you fancy adventures further afield.

Magic Memories

There’s a certain serenity to this elegant villa. Maybe it’s the calm colour scheme or the secluded location in pine-scented Vale do Lobo. Either way, you’ll find yourself in relaxation mode from the second you arrive. 

The ample living space is filled with natural light, with doors opening onto the terrace for that indoor/outdoor flow. There’s a kitchen with a breakfast bar, a sumptuous corner sofa to fit the whole family, and a top-notch Sonos sound system that runs seamlessly throughout. 

Although it’s lovely inside, you’ll probably spend most of your time in the mature garden. You’re spoilt for choice for places to chill out, so take your pick. Will it be the poolside sun loungers, the alfresco lounge area, or the shady hammock for a quiet moment out of the Algarve sun? 

Beach lovers will be in heaven here, with over 2km of golden sands on the rolling Atlantic, and if you’re a golf fan, you’re in luck, with two championship golf courses on your doorstep. Come evening, Vale do Lobo’s squares come alive with buzzing cocktail bars and excellent restaurants, but once you’ve come back to the villa, poured yourself an aperitif and slipped into the private Jacuzzi, you may find it impossible to tear yourself away. 

Sunshine in my Pocket

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

Home Cinema Setup

Outdoor Fireplace / Firepit

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

With views over the neighbouring golf course, this villa is a tranquil spot for your Algarve adventure – even more so if you love nothing more than to stroll the fairways. Inside, the home is traditional in appearance with plenty of space for everyone to spread out and enjoy some quiet time, or socialise in the heart of the home. With the Portuguese sun shining down, however, outdoor living will be high on your agenda. Hang out poolside to soak up the rays, absorbing the peace and quiet, with the silence occasionally punctuated by the hit of a golf ball. If the heat gets a little much, sink into the private pool and swim a few lazy lengths. As lunchtime rolls around, lighting the barbecue is a must for an alfresco meal under the pergola, paired with a chilled bottle of wine, naturally. 

For days out exploring, nearby Vilamoura offers a selection of eateries, a beautiful marina and even a casino. If you long to feel the sand beneath your feet, stop off at Vilamoura beach to breathe in the fresh sea air for a while. However you spend your days, you’ll look back with only fond memories of your time away. 

Fairway Fresh

Music lovers will enjoy this stylish Algarve villa with speakers in almost every room. Get the Sonos sound system going downstairs and open up the sliding doors in the living room that lead directly out to the large garden. You could spend entire days here just basking in the Mediterranean weather – take a few laps of the clear blue private pool, soak up some sun on a deckchair with azure skies above, or play a game or two on the lush lawn. When you’ve worked up an appetite, fire up the barbecue and have lunch at the six-seater outdoor dining table with a view. A stone’s throw away from Vilamoura resort, you’ll have magnificent golf courses, a spa centre and lively nightlife at your doorstep, not to mention the golden sands of Vilamoura Beach. 

Groovy Blues

When forming a perfect home for a family, this inclusive villa ticks all the boxes. Golf fans can practice their swing on the lush green courses, shopping fanatics can explore the chic boutiques and the whole family can head to the nearby waterpark. There is something for all ages and interests. 

To add to the extensive list of attractions, you can also while away the hours on the various beaches or embark on a historical tour of the region. After a tiring day, copious amounts of restaurants serve fresh food and locally-sourced wine. We promise you, you'll never be bored.

Whilst it's perfectly located, the deluxe villa is much more than a base for exploration. A large pool is surrounded by numerous seating spaces, creating an idyllic haven to bathe in the sunshine. For a more energetic afternoon, table football lays the foundation for frenetic games. 

At night, rustle up some local meats on the BBQ or settle down for alfresco dining on the outdoor table. Or if you're looking for a cosy night in, snuggle up on the sofa watching a film on the TV.

Family Fortunes

Found within a private community sitting opposite Vilamoura Marina, this house will ensure guests enjoy a wonderful stay in the charming Algarve town.

The home's design embraces Mediterranean simplicity, with whitewashed walls, pretty patterned tiling in the kitchen and plenty of sunlight streaming in through the large windows and glass doors. Two of the bedrooms benefit from Juliet balconies from which you can survey the locale, but there's also a garden back down on ground level which has a dining table and barbecue ready for alfresco feasts.

During the summer months, there's a swimming pool shared between neighbouring homes that guests are more than welcome to use, although the beach is just over ten minutes' walk away if you prefer a dip in the Atlantic Ocean. You're well sorted for restaurants and golf courses in the local area, too.

Algarvean Jewel

Library of Books

This beautiful and immaculate villa, just four kilometres from the highly-sought after Vilamoura marina, is a great base for multiple families and groups of friends. It's made for those of you looking to be in close proximity to the Algarve’s best attractions. 

Spend your days beach hopping along Albufeira's breathtaking beaches, sipping on cocktails at Izzy’s beach bar near Almancil and visiting Loule’s famous Saturday gypsy market. The area is a vibrant hub of activity that takes days to discover. Make sure to treat yourself to dinner at one of the idyllic restaurants to catch sunset by the harbour.

The home itself offers endless entertainment options for all ages. Lounge by your private pool, enjoy alfresco bbq meals during warm, barmy evenings and practice your table tennis skills inside. Across its bright, living areas, there are many doors leading to the manicured garden and terrace, providing a seamless transition from indoor to outdoor living. 

Villa Marina

Desk / Workplace

Single-Level Home

With its renowned golf courses and beautiful beach, Vilamoura is the perfect setting for an inspiring stay in Southern Portugal. And this elegant apartment, located in a private resort, opens its doors to the natural beauty of its location. 

There’s a sense of lightness and warmth throughout this home, making it easy to relax. From the refined styling to the practical amenities, every detail has been considered to ensure you feel at home here. And as the sun rises you’ll love stepping outside onto the terrace and savouring the tranquillity of the gardens. 

You could spend a slow morning by the shared swimming pool or pack a bag and explore this beautiful region. Golfers will love the close proximity to Millennium Dom Pedro Golf, Laguna Golf or Victoria Golf – only ten–minutes away. 

The Algarve is filled with stunning coves and long stretches of beach – the nearest is only a fourteen–minute drive. After a day filled with warmth and sea air, you’ll love the feeling of walking into this home. Open the doors, pour a glass of something special and enjoy the sweet sound of serenity. 

The Honey Blossom

Situated within walking distance of Vilamoura’s marina and a short drive from the beach, this family-friendly villa is the perfect base from which to explore the Algarve. The outside space is sure to be a hit, particularly the private pool on a hot afternoon. There’s also a charcoal barbecue for alfresco feasts when you’re not sampling the local offerings. While the interiors won’t be to everyone’s liking, the beds are certainly comfortable, and everything works as it should, so you can spend more time making the most of the sunshine.

Algarve Dreamer

Pets Allowed

Pets

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

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.

Sunshine Soul

Nestled in Albufeira, this apartment offers easy access to a selection of beaches on the Algarve coast. Dine out on your private balcony, albeit a little overlooked by neighbouring homes, and you can even catch a glimpse of the sea peeking through the buildings. If that’s not the perfect spot to start your day, morning coffee in hand, then we recommend making your way to the rooftop terrace. Shared with the other residents, this communal space promises views that you’ll never tire of – best enjoyed, we think, from the refreshing waters of the pool. 


Rooftop Refuge

Situated on a prestigious resort, filled to the brim with luxurious and fun-filled facilities for the whole family to enjoy, this villa will make the most of your holiday in the Algarve. With your own private pool and garden, you'll be able to dine alfresco, swim in the pool and bask in the tranquillity of the outdoors. On-site, spa treatments and massages will leave you feeling relaxed, or treat your taste buds at one of the restaurants and bars. Keeping active has never been easier, whether you're teeing off at the golf course, working out in the gym or challenging friends to a game of tennis under the sun before cooling off in the pool.

Nestled in the heart of the Algarve, this home is close to all manner of facilities – if you want to explore a little further than the resort then you may need a car, but the wider world is filled with countless spots for days out you'll never forget. Head to Falésia beach and unwind on the golden sands and feel the clear waters of the sea between your toes. Whether you're sticking to the resort, heading to the sea or going all the way to Albufeira, this home is in the perfect spot to help you enjoy a trip of a lifetime.

Throes of Summer

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

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.

Light & Wonder 

Smart TV

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. 


Starlight Serenity

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. 

Pause to Ponder

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

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.

Balcony / Patio

Tucked away on a quiet street in Albufeira’s historic Old Town, this studio apartment is the perfect base for a couple or solo traveller looking for a convenient location in the Algarve. Overlooking the Atlantic Ocean and situated only a few minutes walk from dos Pescadores beach, you couldn’t be better positioned if your priority is proximity to the sand. While the apartment is small, it does have a kitchenette and an alfresco dining terrace where you can enjoy home-cooked breakfasts in the sun.
