Quinta da Donalda
Ochre walls and green gardens make this typical Portuguese mansion a vibrant retreat. Its verdant grounds, tiled rooms, and 7 bedrooms, including 2 in 2 guest houses, are a welcoming place to host a family reunion in the Algarve. While there are plenty of beaches near the villa in the Portimão area, it’s also a short drive to the old town and beaches of Lagos. With a rural setting amid farmland and gardens planted with fruit trees and flowering vines, the villa feels like your own private country estate. Savor the quiet and the sunshine from a lounger by the outdoor swimming pool and linger beneath a palm tree at the alfresco dining table. Your holiday includes daily breakfast, and a housekeeper will make sure you’re comfortable. The living areas at this vacation rental are spread out between a main house and 2 guest houses, but all feature a mix of refined modern pieces and colorful prints. Look for details like mustard-yellow tile around the fireplace, sea-blue cushions on the dining chairs, and brilliant tile on the floor of the fully equipped kitchen. Each guest house also has its own kitchenette. Drive less than 20 kilometers from the villa to 3 different beaches, including the Alvor boardwalk and the top-ranked Praia de Marinha Beach. Head for the nearby port city of Lagos to explore cobblestone streets running beneath 16th-century walls and pause at one of its lively restaurants. Copyright © Luxury Retreats. All rights reserved.

Villa Mar Azul
Incredible views stretch out before Vila Mar Azul. As its name, which translates to “blue sea,” suggests, this sleek vacation rental boasts an oceanfront location and the panoramas to match. Use this clifftop retreat as a luxury hideaway in the Algarve, or as a base for a laid-back family holiday in the charming beach town of Salema. The villa’s three levels of living space make the most of its stunning location—and open to outdoor areas where you can soak in the sun. A sparkling pool, loungers, barbecue and al-fresco dining for eight let you entertain or relax from dawn to dusk. After dark, watch the stars come out or step inside to enjoy the satellite TV and Wi-Fi. Vila Mar Azul has one open-plan living area on its main floor, with living and dining areas and a fully equipped kitchen, and a second on its lower level, complete with a second kitchen. A fireplace and plush area rug create a cozy ambience in the main-floor living area; a few steps up, cantilevered chairs add modern style around the dining table. The villa is a short walk from the town of Salema—once a fishing village known for its octopus, now a popular spot for its golden stretch of beach. Slow down to its pace, and you’ll be rewarded with the sight of fishermen hauling in their catch or an afternoon at one of its waterfront restaurants. Golf courses, tennis courts and a spa are a short drive away at Santo Antonio Resort; for more shopping and dining options, drive into Lagos. Copyright © Luxury Retreats. All rights reserved.

All about Faro District
Planning a vacation in Algarve
Was Portugal’s southern Algarve region created specifically for the purpose of having a picture-perfect vacation? It seems that way, as this popular European hot spot’s natural beauty, endless sandy beaches, mouth-watering local cuisine and never-ending options of sporting activities ensures all vacationing needs are met, from large family gatherings to coupled up honeymooners. Whether it’s your heart’s desire to relax by your very own infinity pool, to tee off at one of the region’s world-class golf courses, or even to sample some of the area’s most mouth-watering dishes, the Algarve has it covered.
Culinary delights
Surf’s up
There are over twenty designated surf beaches in the south-west corner of the Algarve alone, making this the ideal destination for novices and seasoned surfers alike. The beaches around Sagres and Lagos offer some of the most exciting surfing opportunities and are famous for their huge swells. Most notably Praia do Telheiro, Praia do Tonel, Sagres South and Praia do Beliche. The summer months see smaller waves and some beaches, especially Praia do Telheiro are a little remote and not recommended for rookie surfers but there are dozens of surf schools to choose from. Not keen on surfing? Paddle boarding and bodyboarding are popular options, too.
Swing time
Portugal is famous for its world-class golf courses and with the Algarve’s almost guaranteed sunny weather, there has never been a better time to experience these five-star courses for yourself. The historical town of Lagos, has two tempting golf courses, the Onyria Palmares (designed by leading US golf course designer Robert Trent Jones Jr) and the Parque de Floresta. While in the Eastern Algarve, the Monte Rei golf club features a course designed by Masters champion Jack Nicklaus, set in over 1,000 acres of beautiful countryside. Over in Quinta del Lago, the Paul McGinley golf academy offers a variety of classes to improve on your natural playing ability. Since 2011 thousands of golf players, young and old, have benefited from the 2014 Ryder Cup Captain’s legendary insight, making the academy a must-visit for vacationers who love this sport.
Sun, sand & sea
Great outdoors
Ramblers, ornithologists and wildlife fans will delight in the Algarve’s nature reserves. The most notable is the Rio Formosa Nature Park, comprising of 45,000 acres of lagoons, marshland, pine forests and sand dunes. It’s home to 20,000 different types of bird, and the Portuguese water dog (the same breed President Obama owns) is indigenous to this area. North of Lagos is the Ria de Alvor, which has a boardwalk stretching for miles along the clear water lagoon, with Spoonbills and Iberian Chiffchaffs regularly spotted flying along the trail. On Algarve’s west coast, is the Cape St Vincent natural park, extending from Salema westward to the cape of St Vincent, with lush wildlife and remnants of Roman and Phoenician settlements along the way .

Just the two of us
Algarve honeymoons are a popular choice for couples who are keen to experience a wide variety of activities and local flavors on their special trip.
