Perched on the clifftop above Praia de Salema, this villa gazes out across the Atlantic Ocean. Inside, the spaces feel bright and open, with all of the bedrooms opening directly onto the balcony – a dreamy spot for alfresco lunches or sunset drinks. Spend your days lounging in the sun beside the infinity pool or wander down to the beach for a dip in the sea and a meal at the waterfront restaurant. Fancy a change of scene? The harbour town of Lagos is just fifteen minutes away.
