Looking for a truly impressive home to make memories in? This stunning palatial villa offers an opulent backdrop for some proper quality time with friends and family. Located just 8.5 km from Portimão and Alvor, both being fun-in-the-sun coastal towns with beaches and bars aplenty, you won’t be far from the golden sands and blue seas that make Portugal such a popular place. This home’s design lets the indoor and outdoor lifestyle blend effortlessly, with large sliding patio doors, shaded terrace areas and of course, that incredible outdoor pool and hot tub.

Each day here feels truly blissful. Wake up your body and your mind with some lengths in the pool, a refreshing way to cool off from the hot Portugal sun. Tuck into a traditional pastel de nata on your terrace as you gaze out at views of the surrounding countryside. Little ones can cool off in the children’s section of the pool while you enjoy some sunbathing on the loungers. As the evening rolls in, enjoy a dip in the hot tub, or gather inside in your home cinema to watch a movie, or get competitive with a ping pong and foosball tournament for you and your loved ones.

Golfers – this one’s for you. Situated on a golf resort, you can’t get much closer to the action if you plan to spend your holiday strolling the fairways. But, this villa has so much more appeal than simply its location.

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.

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.

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. 

Alvor Oasis

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.

Underfloor Heating

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.

Gather up a small group of your favourite people and whisk them away for a sunny stay on the Algarve. This smart apartment is located in the resort town of Praia da Luz, and make the perfect place to relax between trips to the beach. 

The interior is bright and welcoming, with crisp white walls, cool tiles, and a comfy sofa.

The kitchen has everything you need to whip up some tasty dishes using fresh ingredients, and you can eat alfresco out on the balcony. With space for a dining table, sun loungers, and views of the garden below, it's the ideal spot to relax in the fresh air.

Hike along the Trilho dos Pescadores – also known as the fishermans' trail – or take it easy with a round of golf at the local course, just five minutes away by car. 

Algarve Eternity

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

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.

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

The Petal

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. 

Sunset Over Lagos

Private Dryer

If expansive sea views, sunshine and a private pool are on your dream holiday checklist, this home can turn those dreams into a reality. Perched high on a clifftop gazing out over the Atlantic, this villa is exquisite. Inside, it’s all understated elegance. We love the generosity of this home when it comes to space to spread out as a family – it’s a sociable space, but with two living areas, there’s space for the adults to gather and enjoy quiet conversation over a bottle of wine, and a separate space for your little ones to kick back on their own comfy sofas and make the most of their games console. A sleek kitchen provides everything you need to rustle up a delicious dinner if you fancy an evening at home, and still allows you to peek out at the ocean. 

If you’re not out exploring Lagos and its welcoming beaches where water sports are a must, you can while away the hours easily in this home. Gain some respite from the Portuguese heat and sink into your private pool, swim a few lengths and you’ll soon feel re-energised. If you’d rather relax, you can hop into your hot tub and feel wrapped in the warmth of the bubbles, or head up to the rooftop terrace, settle down on a sun lounger and enjoy your holiday read. The only thing likely to distract you is the vast blue ocean stretching out before you – but, what a lovely distraction to have. 

Bright Horizon

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

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

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.

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.
