Within walking distance of the Blue Flag-awarded Praia do Evaristo – encircled by rock formations on the Atlantic shoreline, this apartment sits on a resort in Sesmarias. When you stay on the popular Algarve, there's plenty to keep the whole family entertained, including golfing and hiking in nearby Salgados. Alternatively, why not drive across to the white-washed city of Albufeira, where the neon-lit Rua da Oura strip is noted for its exciting nightlife? Kick your feet up in this thoughtfully designed home, with an interior inspired by local tilework and ancient monasteries. After greeting each day out on the private balcony, perhaps you'd like to jump into the communal pool. Without setting foot off the grounds, you can treat yourself to a soothing massage and a manicure in the spa. Or, how about working up an appetite in the honeycomb-walled gym? Once it's time for dinner, there are three on-site restaurants to choose from, where you might order freshly caught sardines.

With more than 300 days of sunshine per year and over 100 beaches dotted along its coastline, the Algarve is one of Europe’s most popular holiday destinations.
