Beachfront Rentals in Algarve

Cliffside Oasis

• 6 guests

• 3 bedrooms

São Martinho, Funchal

Perched on the edge of Madeira’s south coast, this charming home has got ‘summer’ written all over it, boasting light-drenched interiors and a lush, tree-lined garden with views towards the Atlantic. There might not be a ton of showstopping amenities at this home, but that doesn’t mean we can’t see ourselves spending all day relaxing here, book in one hand and glass of wine in the other as one of our fellow guests rustles up a Portuguese-inspired feast in the kitchen.

Sea Spritz

• 4 bedrooms

Albufeira e Olhos de Água, Albufeira

Perfect for a family getaway by the coast, this bright and breezy villa in Albufeira boasts sparkling sea views – best enjoyed from the private balcony over a bottle of wine, although the vistas are visible from many rooms inside, too. Some of the bedrooms are a bit of a squeeze, and the balcony is the only outdoor space, but with Túnel beach just fifty metres away and a great selection of beachfront eateries to enjoy, you’re likely to spend most of your time lapping up the Portuguese sun away from home.

Fruity Flavours

Arco da Calheta, Madeira

While clifftop homes come in for a lot of praise, what about those that sit at the bottom of a rockface, like this Madeiran villa? Not only does it benefit from uninterrupted views of the glistening ocean, but there's also ready access to a shared rocky beach just 30 metres from the home.
