This private villa in Vilamoura is just as beautiful indoors as you'd imagine from its facade. Built in a traditional style, with curves, arches and pretty windows, it's a bit different to your typical holiday home. Inside, cool tones of cream and white mix with colourful furnishings in typical Portuguese patterns, along with tiled floors and French doors opening to the rear. As well as a comfortable living room and dining area, there's a well kitted-out kitchen and a covered dining terrace overlooking the pool. Spend your days lazing in the sun, or watch the golfers go about their business at the golf course visible through the trees at the end of the garden. Flanked by no fewer than six golf resorts (including the Victoria Golf Course of Portugal Masters fame) and a tennis academy, there's no shortage of things to do around here. Falesia Beach, with a view of majestic red sandstone cliffs and a long shoreline, is just one of the many beaches at your fingertips, and the area is well-known for its excellent paddleboarding if you feel like taking to the water. Spend your evenings at the shops, restaurants and bars of the swanky Vilamoura Marina and don't forget to sign up for a sunset boat trip.
