The Algarve is the perfect destination for a villa holiday in Portugal, offering golden beaches, dramatic cliffs, and charming towns. Whether you are looking for a private villa with ocean views or a luxury home surrounded by the peaceful countryside, the Algarve provides an ideal escape for every visitor. With family-friendly villas that cater to all ages and activities ranging from water sports to golf, the Algarve combines relaxation and adventure, all from the comfort of your own private sanctuary.
The Algarve, nestled on Portugal’s southern coast, is the perfect spot for a private villa holiday. Known for its golden beaches, dramatic cliffs, and tranquil countryside, the Algarve offers an idyllic setting for those looking for a relaxing getaway. Staying in one of our hand picked private villas allows you to enjoy the region’s beautiful scenery from the privacy of your own luxurious property, enjoying amenities such as infinity pools, children’s playgrounds and villas nestled in olive groves.
The area is renowned for its variety of activities and attractions. From the iconic sea caves of Benagil to the pristine shores of Praia da Marinha, the Algarve’s coastline is the ideal destination for beach lovers and adventurers alike. Explore charming towns like Lagos, with its historic old town and vibrant marina, or Silves, where you can experience the region’s Moorish heritage and impressive castle.
When it comes to choosing a villa location, take your pick from the beachside, on a hill top or a luxury retreat further inland. Choose to go off the beaten track a little with a stay in beautiful Ferragudo for a more relaxing break, or take your pick from villas located in resorts that have plentiful facilities with everything on your door step, like the exclusive resort of Vilamoura. There are excellent golf courses in the Vilamoura area, in addition to great opportunities for scuba diving, as well as some lovely countryside to explore.
Or you may choose to be near one of the Algarve’s largest cities; cosmopolitan Albufeira, which still retains a lot of its traditional charm as well as boasting some great restaurants and fabulous beaches, backed by sandstone cliffs and caves. Enjoy a round of golf, check out as many golden sandy beaches as you can and explore enchanting villages and ravishing vistas over the Atlantic Ocean.
You’ll also be spoilt for choice when it comes to finding the perfect place to indulge in delicious cuisine. Sample freshly caught seafood and pair it with delicious local wines, a real treat for the senses. We thoroughly recommend private wine tastings or al fresco dining at your villa, where the chef can prepare regional specialties like grilled sardines, cataplana, and octopus salad. Markets in towns like Loulé provide an opportunity to discover local produce and handmade crafts, adding a touch of authenticity to your stay.
The region has many beautiful beaches, some of our favourites include Praia da Marinha, a picturesque beach surrounded by dramatic cliffs and turquoise waters and Meia Praia, a long sandy beach ideal for families and water sports. We also recommend visiting Benagil Cave, an iconic sea cave, accessible by boat, kayak, or paddle board.
Discover fresh seafood dishes like grilled sardines, cataplana, and octopus salad. Be sure to pair your meals with Portuguese wines, including vinho verde and Algarve whites. We also recommend exploring local markets such as Mercado de Loulé for fresh produce and regional delicacies.
