You'll find this home between the charming villages of Burgau and Luz. Close to sandy beaches, cobbled streets and fishermen's cottages, this condominium is perfectly placed for discovering all that the Algarve has to offer.

You'll have not one but three separate pools here, giving you the luxury of choice when it comes to cooling off after a day on the coast. The first is completely private, whilst the other two form part of the resort's spa. There's also a communal gym, Jacuzzi and sauna – we recommend starting your morning here to set you up for the day ahead.

Spend time surfing, exploring rock pools or even catching a boat to Lagos from the harbour – there are plenty of ways to discover this beautiful part of the world and soak up the glorious weather.  

After a busy day, pick up some local food and head home to enjoy the private patio. The garden is a relaxing spot to spend an evening, with comfy sun loungers and space to unwind.

If you're hoping for a peaceful stay in the Algarve – complete with sea, sun and a private swimming pool – then this is the villa for you. With the Atlantic Ocean straight ahead and a light-filled living space to retire to post-swim, you'll find all your holiday boxes ticked at this charming coastal home.

We love how the bedrooms have sliding doors onto the first-floor terrace. This spectacular viewpoint, we think you'll agree, is the villa's number-one highlight. Gaze across the picturesque bay and feel the sea tugging at you to pack your beach bag and hit the sand. Praia da Luz is just a fifteen-minute walk away, after all.

After a lazy day in the Portuguese heat, gather the group inside to cool down over a pool tournament, or split off for a solo soak in the jacuzzi bathtub. As the sun sets, return to the terrace for a debrief of the day as you sip vinho and tuck into a hearty meal whipped up in the kitchen.

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. 

From here, you can wander down to Praia da Luz's sandy shoreline for a day paddling in the waves and catching some rays. There is a range of beachfront bars ready to help you refuel when you get hungry, and the town also offers easy access to some great coastal walking paths.

A Taste of the Algarve

DVD Library

Just six minutes on foot from Praia da Luz's sandy beach, this coral-coloured home is perfectly positioned for exploring. Those in the know flock to Luz for a more laid-back Algarve atmosphere. There's a family-friendly shoreline, an array of delicious local restaurants and a few wine bars in the centre, yet buzzing Lagos is only a thirteen-minute drive (or thirty-minute bus ride away), so you'll have the best of both worlds. 

Set all on one level, this home is an excellent option for families – your host can even arrange kid-friendly extras like toys, games and babysitter recommendations if the grown-ups fancy a night on the town. The living space is decked out in cool hues to mimic the coastal setting, while the open layout makes socialising together as a group a breeze. You can rustle up a tasty dinner in the kitchen, or take advantage of the Algarve's gorgeous weather and grill up a storm in the garden. The wrap-around terrace is our favourite spot – protected from the sun, it's the ideal setting for alfresco dinners and a glass of Vinho Verde as the sun goes down.

Coral 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

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.

This contemporary villa sits within a 10-villa condominium in Sagres on the Algarve coast. Picturesque Martinhal beach is a short walk away (600 metres), and there are restaurants, bars, and supermarkets within a kilometre of this spot. Yet, it’s quiet and perfect for families as guests here have access to a shared swimming pool and kids’ pool. While away afternoons on the private patio with its outdoor dining area and barbecue. Glass sliding doors lead to the big, open living area with a full kitchen. The decor is on the spartan side, but the rooms a big and breezy and the location more than makes up for it. 

The Glass Hideaway

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

The Algarve is synonymous with sunshine, sandy beaches and stunning seascapes, and you'll get all that and more in the laid-back village of Luz. Just a sixteen-minute drive from glitzy Lagos, there are plenty of options when it comes to shopping, dining and nightlife, both in Luz's charming town centre or further afield. But if you'd rather take things at a slower pace, Praia da Luz is about ten minutes on foot – perfect for a spot of sunbathing on the sand and swimming in the Atlantic Ocean.  

In between Algarve explorations, relax in style at this breezy townhouse. Wake up in the light-filled main bedroom and pad immediately out to the south-facing balcony to enjoy your cup of coffee in the fresh air. The sparkling sea view is a bonus – we can't think of a better way to start the day than gazing out at the ocean blue. Come evening, tuck into an alfresco Portuguese feast on the sun-dappled patio, enjoying a bottle of wine and good conversation as the sun slowly sinks overhead. Afterwards, unwind in the contemporary living room before bed, taking turns on the telescope to spot glittering stars, planets and constellations – you can even light the wood-burning fire for extra ambience.

We Are Twilight

Hidden away in the small town of Praia da Luz, this cool coastal apartment is the perfect base for your next trip to the Algarve. 

It’s the location that’s the selling point here – not only are you surrounded by a whole host of authentic bars and eateries, but you’re just two minutes from the town’s eponymous beach, ideal for relaxing under the hot Portuguese sun or cooling off in the blue waters of the Atlantic. 

The house itself is nothing to scoff at though. Boasting a large open-plan living area and pleasing views of the sea, it’s the perfect place to unwind after a day of being out and about in the Algarve.  Sink into the comfy living room sofa or step out onto the private terrace and enjoy a cool glass of wine under the evening sun. When it’s time to eat, cook up a storm in the kitchen or treat your entourage to a meal at Fortaleza da Luz, a castle-turned-eatery within striking distance of your apartment. Tuck into a delicious seafood cataplana and gaze out at the gorgeous coastline as you sip a glass of the region’s best wine. We don’t know about you, but we can't think of a better way to spend an evening.

It's just a few steps from your living room, so you can easily enjoy an afternoon swim before heading out for the evening.

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.

The views continue in the main bedroom, where panoramic views of the rolling hills create a serene backdrop for rest. There’s a private gym, an entertainment lounge complete with a telescope, and plenty of spaces that flow effortlessly into the outdoors. The location is fully secluded, so you’ll need a car, but it’s worth it. This is a rare hideaway where nature, design, and total privacy create an unforgettable Algarve escape.

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.

Sun & Sand

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.
