Combining easy access to nearby Quinto do Lago – one of Portugal’s most exclusive resorts – with seclusion and calm, this stunning villa manages to be both sleek and vibrant thanks to its funky furniture and bold use of colour. The star of the show is undoubtedly your very own resort-style pool and poolside area – dotted with sun loungers, they'll be no fighting for beds during this stay. This home is also a paradise for golf lovers, as the nearest course is just a five-minute drive away in Vale do Lobo, while keen chefs will love the island kitchen and barbecue. As the sun starts to descend behind the tall palms, take to your shaded terrace, light up the grill, and break open a bottle of beer to keep you busy while the meat sizzles. To savour views of the Atlantic Ocean, either take a five-minute stroll down to the beach at Dunas Douradas, or simply head on up to the roof terrace – pre-dinner drinks go down a treat up here.
