Villas in Algarve 2023

Enjoy a Villa Holiday in Algarve

A villa holiday in the Algarve is a sun worshipper's dream that seems specially made for fantastic photo opportunities. One of the things that makes the Algarve popular is its laid-back attitude to life.

Some European destinations are all about partying, and families often find it hard to enjoy a relaxing time with their children. However, Portugal generally has a more relaxed vibe than other holiday spots, and while there's plenty of vibrant nightlife, you can also enjoy a quieter experience.

When it comes to the Algarve, there truly is something for everyone. From luxury villas for couples to family-friendly accommodation, you won't have any problems finding the perfect place on our website.

Things to do in Algarve

Our Algarve villas are located across many regions of south Portugal. Not only are you spoilt for choice with award-winning beaches, but there are also abundant fun-filled activities available – not to mention the water parks!

Here are just some of the wonderful villa holidays we offer.

Beaches in Algarve

When you think of an Algarve villa holiday, you can't help but picture the perfectly manicured golden sand beaches.

An infinite number of pristine beaches and picturesque coves at the bottom of dramatic cliffs stretch right across the shoreline and provide the perfect spot to unwind and soak up Portugal's warm Mediterranean climes.

Gale is a quiet and peaceful area with some of the most impressive beaches of the Algarve, while Sao Rafael is home to a Blue-Flag beach backed by towering limestone cliffs.

If your idea of heaven is lying on a sandy beach or snorkelling in the crystal ocean, Gale and Sao Rafael are ideal locations.

Nightlife in Algarve

Choose one of our villas in Albufeira if you want evening entertainment. The resort is renowned for its plush bars and many nightclubs along its famous strip, so you'll have no problems finding the perfect place to dance the night away.

There's also the picturesque marina lined with plenty of restaurants, perfect for watching the sunset whilst enjoying some fresh seafood.

Food and Drink in Algarve

Like many coastal regions, the Algarve is blessed with fresh seafood rich in flavour, and you can enjoy it at most restaurants throughout the area. For the most delicious representation of seafood, head to a local fishing village, as the restaurants around will blow your mind.

If you want to sample a Portuguese speciality, don't miss out on Piri-Piri! This spicy marinade is often cooked with chicken and prawns and is a delicious local dish.

So make sure your villa holiday in Portugal's Algarve includes plenty of gourmet experiences.

History and Culture in Algarve

Despite being one of Europe's most sought-after holiday destinations, much of the Algarve's towns and villages retain their traditional charm, and it's here where you can get an authentic flavour of Portuguese living.

The locals love their festivals, too, with colourful carnivals and gastro-festivals occurring throughout the year. There's a lot of folk heritage here, and there's plenty to do if you want to stay out of the sun for a bit and enjoy some history.

Why not take the family to one of the many museums? Or, you can sample some of the arts and crafts that showcase the Algarve region.

Points of interest not to be missed on Algarve villa holidays

Discover secluded coves on a private boat trip

The Algarve has some stunning beaches, including Porto de Mós Beach and the infamous sandy spots in Praia da Luz - but there's nothing like the stunning coves. These hidden coves are full of natural beauty but are not easy to find.

You can, however, take a boat trip with a reputable tour operator to see the secret coves. These tours know where to take you, and it's worth visiting the private beaches that you might otherwise miss.

Live like a local in Carvoeiro

The smaller resorts have a more low-key vibe which resembles the local way of life. Many of our Carvoeiro villas are sprawled across the picturesque hillsides close to the main town, dotted with laid-back bars and restaurants with an authentic feel.

One of the best things about Carvoeiro is the excellent beach which is perfect for families. The local restaurants serve delicious seafood, and nightly entertainment takes place on the square close to the beach.

Play the world-class golf courses in Vale do Lobo

Vale do Lobo is a golf lover's dream, with its Ocean golf course and the equally impressive Royal course (both 18-hole championship courses). Luxury holidays are typical in this region, and there are plenty of things to do aside from playing golf.

Take a trip around the Algarve's golden triangle and sample all of the golf courses you find in Quinta do Lago. Or enjoy boat trips around the lovely beaches with golden sands and stunning views.
