With its heated pool, private terraces, and unbeatable Atlantic views, this home had us hooked from first sight. Originally built in the early 1920s as a private summer residence for a prominent Portuguese family, it has been expertly restored, blending Moorish-inspired details and antique touches with modern comforts. Step straight onto the golden sands from your own gate, or soak up the sun under palms and parasols by the pool. There’s a guest house, self-contained studio, and a wellness centre with treatment room and sauna, making it perfect for families or groups seeking space and privacy. Four sea-view bedrooms with en-suites complete the picture, delivering true beachfront glamour just a short stroll from Armação de Pêra.
