With communal gardens, two shared swimming pools – one of which is specifically for children – and a playground, this Alvor apartment is an ideal choice for families. Sure, its traditional and fuss-free style may not be everyone’s cup of tea, but the outdoor space makes up for it. The private terrace is just the spot for a morning coffee, followed by a refreshing swim in the pool. Suitably rejuvenated, golfers can then take their pick of local courses, or you can plan a family day out at the beach. Being less of a tourist trap than some other Algarve hotspots, Alvor is just the ticket for a relaxing Portuguese getaway.

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.

Nice to haves

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

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

Take in the sea glimpses from this home's private, spacious balcony – there's room to relax and dine here. The interiors are light and roomy, too, but we're not sure you'll be spending much time indoors when there's a large shared garden and swimming pool on offer. On top of this, the resort of Portimão, with its shops, restaurants and bars, is a short stroll away, as is the lovely sandy beach, Praia do Amado. Or, history lovers can hop in the car and visit the nearby Roman ruins of Quinta da Abicada.

Light Waves & Sunshine

Explore the Algarve from this funky apartment, located in the largest city in the western Algarve, Portimão. This home's prime location puts you right in the heart of the city, close to beaches and marinas for sunny afternoon strolls – and you'll have a private balcony, complete with a small barbecue, where you can sit and soak up views of the cityscape around you. We love the bold use of colour in this home, making it feel modern and characterful – and it provides all the amenities you'll need for a happy home-from-home stay.

Secured Parking

If you long to spend your holiday relaxing on the soft sand or swimming in the sea, this is the home for you. A simple ten-minute stroll is all it takes to reach Meia Praia beach from this apartment. Or, perhaps you fancy a boat trip from the marina – well, that’s close by too. So you see, it’s all about location here – that said, the home itself, while stripped back in nature, has everything needed for a comfortable stay. And with a communal swimming pool and sun-kissed terraces to enjoy, staying put for the day could be a winner. 

Magic of the Marina

Hot Tub

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

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

Enjoy front-row sea views from this contemporary apartment overlooking Praia da Batata (Potato Beach). The private balcony is the perfect spot to watch boats sail by or enjoy an alfresco aperitif, and early birds will be rewarded with spectacular sunrises over the sea. Inside, the open-plan living/dining area is connected to the kitchen by a large hatch, making it easy to serve up sociable meals, and there’s also a breakfast bar where you can enjoy a coffee before hitting the beach. And with Lagos town centre just a short stroll away, you’ll have an array of restaurants, bars, and shops to choose from. 

Sea and Sunrise

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

Seaside Secrets

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

Portuguese Delight

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. 

The Blossoming Bays

This contemporary villa is all about the location for us. Keen to explore on foot? Lagos town is a pleasant fifteen-minute stroll away and Porto de Mós beach is reachable in twenty minutes. That said, the local bus service makes hopping around the area a breeze, and if you do hire a car, further afield you’ll find a whole host of golf courses and water parks. After a busy day, back at the villa sun-drenched terraces and a private pool await, ready for you to finish the day relaxed, with a drink in hand.

Overlooking the white sands of highly sought after Praia Grande beach is this rustic and charming villa in a renovated former bee cottage. The villa broods harmony between raw nature, beautiful coastline, and easy living to match the charm of the Portuguese fishing village. The lush garden provides space for children to roam while the adults watch from plush sun loungers. As soon as you bore of the pool, just 600m away lies the stunning white beach. One of our favourite highlights was the private steps that led from the villa right out onto the sand, providing immediate beach access. Aside from time spent relaxing at the seaside-chic villa, the outside area of the town provides sailing boat rental, canoeing, and a bustling village square with local fare and fishermen showcasing the catch of the day. 

Honey Bees

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

By the Seaside

Situated in a peaceful condominium, this third-floor apartment boasts stunning views all the way to the sea. The private balcony is accessible from the main bedroom and the living room, with space to lounge or sunbathe. Downstairs, the communal pool is ideal for staying active or cooling off from the Portuguese sun. Lagos Marina and the city centre are both within walking distance, but we think you'll want a car to get the most out of your stay and enjoy trips to the beach with ease.

Lagos Marina View

Catch some sun on the private balcony of this modern holiday apartment. Porto Mós Beach is a breezy stroll away, and Lagos's town centre is easily reachable, though we think it's definitely worth having a car here. You'll enjoy access to the communal swimming pool and children's pool, and the twin beds can be joined on request to make a super king bed, making this home great for romantic retreats and family trips alike. Parties and loud music aren't permitted at this condominium, so you can guarantee a peaceful and relaxing stay.

Meia Praia beach is also within walking distance, although we recommend hiring a car if you’d like to explore the beautiful beaches further along the coast.

Algarve Eternity

This stylish apartment is perfect for those who love being by the water, with a great choice of nearby beaches and a marina within walking distance. Splashes of colour throughout the apartment add vibrancy to every room – our favourite is the deep shades of blue in the living room. Relax on the balcony in the mornings with a toasty cup of coffee while tucking into a homecooked breakfast made with produce bought from the local Santo Amaro markets.

With just a short walk, you'll find yourself in the centre of Lagos with a wide variety of shops to browse. Treat yourself to a delicious slice of cake at one of the many central cafés, followed by a trip to the beach. Make sure you bring a bucket and spade if you're with children, so you can spend the afternoon building sandcastles under the sun.

Dine at Batata Beach Bar for some coastal delicacies and return home to unwind after a day of adventuring. Head up to the rooftop pool to sit on a sun lounger with a sumptuous glass of red while watching the sunset. We recommend going for a late-night swim under the stars, the perfect way to relax while making some amazing new memories.

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

Located on the ground floor of a tranquil apartment building in Lagos, this apartment is close to Porto de Mós beach. The garden and terrace have space for dining alfresco and for children to play, and you'll have access to a communal pool and children's pool. The twin beds can be joined together to make a super king bed, making this home great for a couples' retreat as well as for family and friends. To elevate your stay and add further convenience, your host can provide an array of extras for an additional fee, including private chefs, childcare equipment, and food hampers.

Algarve Blues

Thanks to the unfiltered terrace views of the water, a location that’s a short distance from Ferragudo’s beaches and ultra-modern amenities, this home is comfort and holiday bliss personified. When you’re not laying in the sand at Pintadinho Beach or watching the waves lap the shore at Grande Beach, you’ll probably be outside, savouring the sunlight. 

Take a late-morning dip in the pool, rustle up a meal in the sleek kitchen and tuck into lunch on the dining bench. Your afternoons are made for sunbathing and enjoying the weather on a lounger, or if you want to escape the heat – lying up on the plush sofa where floor-to-ceiling windows still let you admire that sea view. Should you need to work remotely, there's a full home office with a monitor and printer set up in the open living area. Once the sun starts to set, head to the terrace with a glass of wine, relax and admire the scenic landscape tinged golden.

Agua Azul

There’s no need for a car at this contemporary apartment, just a twenty-minute stroll from Lagos town centre. You’ll be within walking distance of an array of restaurants and bars, as well as a trio of sandy beaches. Located on a quiet complex, you can use the shared swimming pool here (although inflatables and jumping into the water aren’t allowed so that might be a deal-breaker if you’ve got kids). The home boasts direct access to the pool area, a sociable open-plan living space, and a private terrace overlooking the pool and gardens. If the pool rules don’t bother you, we think this home is a great choice for a hassle-free holiday with family or friends.

Sunshine and Sea

Located in a quiet condominium a short drive from Porto de Mós, this ground-floor apartment is ideal for a peaceful stay in Lagos. You'll have a private terrace and garden with space to sunbathe and dine alfresco, while kids will love the communal pools. The twin beds can be joined together to make a super king, and both bedrooms enjoy their own en-suites. Your host can provide a wealth of extra services here, from food packs to private chefs and airport transfers, and we recommend hiring a car to get the most out of this gorgeous location. 

Porto de Mós

Pets Allowed

Pets

Around this region of Portugal, you can’t move for secluded sandy bays, hidden between honey-hued cliffs. The sun shines year-round and this modern, sleek villa means making the most of days outdoors. Let’s start with the swimming pool, shimmering like a jewel in the wooden deck. From here, you can look out to sea and realise how close you are to the beach (a ten-minute walk). Sofas, loungers and a dedicated open-air gym surround the pool. But our favourite spot might be the sunken lounge beneath the wooden pergola. On the other side of the villa, you’ve got dining for the group, a second shaded outdoor lounge, a trampoline and ping pong table, so there’s enough room for everyone to spread out. Head up to the rooftop terrace for the perfect sunset view. 

Walls of glass cast the open living area in sunlight inside and chefs will be happy in the monochrome kitchen where all mod cons are on hand to help make a memorable feast. Choose between the grand, slate-grey sofas to unwind in the open social space, or tuck yourself away in the second sitting room with a good book. There’s a dedicated office room too should you need to work remotely. Bedrooms have been set up with families in mind, with guitar-strewn twins for teenagers, toy-filled singles for younger kids and a lavish master with its own private balcony for parents. 

Bottled Sunshine

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.
