This home serves up the best of both worlds – a huge array of resort facilities, with a private villa to retreat to when you fancy some quiet time. There are flexible sleeping arrangements here, too, for parties with more than eight guests, as four people can enjoy a bit of extra privacy in the self-contained annexe. If you’re not soaking up the Algarve sun from in or beside the private pool, you can play golf, tennis, or indulge in some watersports on the private beach. Fancy relaxing? The on-site spa is ready and waiting.
