Perks for the Parents
This spacious villa in the Algarve, Portugal has a private pool, secluded garden, and world-class golf courses nearby. It sleeps 8 + 2. Tasteful and comfortable, this colorful space is tailor-made for family holidays, with 4 large bedrooms and different areas for relaxing, cooking, and dining. Algarve offers year-round activities and is known for attracting active visitors: enjoy a round of golf on one of the premium greens or try your hand at tennis at one of the many clubs in this area. Spend your evenings down at the marina, sipping cocktails and sampling the local seafood, while you watch the sparkling boats bobbing in the harbor.
Why Kids Love it
The villa is child-friendly and spacious, with toys and games provided. The large lawn is ideal for playing football, cricket, badminton, or just running around - and of course they’ll love to splash all day in the pool. The sandy beaches nearby are full of families and calm shores, and the area is generally safe and quiet, with lots of family-friendly restaurants. For day trips further afield, you can hire a speed boat or catamaran from the harbor for dolphin-watching, play a round of crazy golf in town, or rent bikes to explore some of the beautiful hills surrounding this beach town.
Things to Know
Minimum stay: 7 nights. Cleaning is included and is provided daily. The pool is not gated and there are steps from the terrace to the garden, so younger children should be supervised outside. Ask the hosts about additional services such as babysitting or a private chef. Car hire is recommended but not essential - free private parking is available but taxis are easy to find. Extra beds or cribs are subject to request and availability. Dogs are welcome for an additional 25EUR/per night.
About the Location
The villa is located in Vilamoura, Portugal - around half an hour from Faro airport. The main harbor is 5 minutes’ drive; the nearest beach is 7 minutes’ drive. There is a children’s playground and a supermarket at the end of the street. Vilamoura is a desirable part of the Algarve, known for golf, tennis, and sailing. Within the town you’ll find a skate park, family golf center, a huge choice of restaurants, bars, and water sports including surfing and fishing. There’s also a water park just 10 minutes’ drive out of town.
Accommodation Details
This villa has 4 bedrooms and 5 bathrooms, set over 2 floors. Three of the bedrooms have kingsize beds; the fourth has 2 queen size beds. Two cribs are available (subject to availability). The house has 5 bathrooms, 4 have bathtubs. Downstairs, there is a fully-equipped kitchen with dining table, and a separate living room with a dining area. (The house has a flatscreen TV with cable channels and DVD player). Outside there is a large terrace with a dining table and seating area, a swimming pool, and a green grassy area to relax.
Style Notes
Modern villa. This contemporary property was built 20 years but is maintained and refurbished each year. It faces the golf course with minimum exposure to the street, so you’ll have maximum privacy during your stay. The rooms are finished with luxury details such as marble floors and Art Deco influences, as well as unique designs referencing the famous Portuguese summer season (think beach umbrellas and colorful floral artwork). We love the natural wood materials used in the bathrooms, the rattan outdoor seating, and the fantastic curved terrace.

Algarve, Portugal
Beaches, golf and sunshine
If you like golf, sunshine and beaches, you’ll love the Algarve. Portugal’s sunny spot gets 3,000 hours of sunny blue skies every year and entertains far more sun seekers than that on its highly accessible sandy beaches. For an easy beach break from just about everywhere in Europe, look no further. Beyond the beach, kids love the water slides at Aqualand, boat trips and meeting the monkeys at Zoo de Lagos.
