Effortlessly chic and perched high over the Atlantic Ocean, this home gets full marks from us. Not only is every inch beautifully decorated, but we adore the focus on sustainability – think solar panels, recycled materials and wastewater systems. The furniture (including the wardrobes) is constructed with repurposed wood, the plates and dishes made by local Portuguese craftsmen and the gorgeous white marble countertop is from Alentejo, so there's an emphasis on local products, too. Besides its eco-credentials, we love how sleek this home is. Several elegant living spaces seamlessly flow into sophisticated terraces with plenty of comfortable seating and breathtaking views. Jump into the immaculate pool for a refreshing swim, then hang out on the sun loungers and revel in the fact that you don't need to do anything but relax. Come dinnertime, rustle up a meal in the bright kitchen and dine alfresco, watching the sunset over the water as you share a bottle of Portuguese wine. Sounds like heaven, right? If you want to explore the area, nearby Carvoeiro has plenty of charming restaurants, bars and picturesque beaches. Praia da Marinha is a ten-minute drive, Praia da Benagi is reachable in thirteen, while the clifftop boardwalk and seaside eateries... in town are just fifteen minutes away.

About Lagoa
Lagoa is the coast with the most. Despite being one of the smaller regions, it boasts the lion's share of the Algarve's most magnificent beaches. Take your pick from Albandeira, Benagil and Carvoeiro – the waters are crystal clear, and the red sandstone sea cliffs are dramatic wherever you choose to lay down your towel. Praia da Marinha deserves a special mention for its magnificent rock arch formations that grace...
