The Algarve is famous for its cove beaches, fantastic climate, and quaint, coastal towns. While you could spend every day lazing on the golden shores and sipping chilled glasses of vinho verde, this apartment offers altogether more exciting options. Less than 2 km from the Praia de Vale do Lobo (your nearest beach), the home is located within a championship golf course and beach resort. Meaning while you’re here, you’ll have access to the resort bus and pool, plus golf courses, a spa, fitness centre, tennis court, and watersports facilities. On top of this, your host will be on hand to arrange anything you fancy, from day trips to private, in-house chefs. As if all this wasn’t enough to keep you busy, this treetop apartment boasts its own VIP amenities. The decor is sleek, modern, and elegant. On a rare chilly evening, you can curl up in front of the stylish fireplace, hanging from the ceiling of the living room. But most of the time, you’ll be sliding the glass doors open to head outdoors. We love the rooftop hot tub and lounge deck, where a barbecue and outdoor dining table make for dreamy alfresco dinners under the pergola.
