Algarve Villas Holidays – The Luxurious Central Algarve

Luxurious Algarve villa holidays can be enjoyed throughout the year by couples, families and groups of friends alike. There are some areas of central Algarve, the 45 mile stretch between Faro and Portimao on the Algarvean coast, that epitomise luxury and others still, that re-define it. It is small wonder then that the majority of holiday makers who come to the Algarve looking for their dream holiday destination, head straight for the central Algarve region for their Algarve villa holidays.

The area has much to offer the discerning traveller, with top quality villas aplenty. Luxury is a much vaunted word, but here, it applies in spades. These stunning buildings have been created with nothing but the very best in mind. The best designs, the most wonderful views, the finest materials, the ultimate in facilities, there are simply not enough superlatives to describe it accurately.

There is a high concentration of top quality villas and apartments to rent in the area, most of which benefit from either coastal or fairway views and all of which have been built with the key word luxury in mind The popularity of golf in the area cannot be ignored and this is reflected in the number of villas and apartments that are available to rent, arranged around golf courses.

The central Algarve region is not all about golf though. Some of the most fabulous golden sanded beaches exist along many miles of breathtaking coastline and move inland just a little and you’ll discover The Ria Formosa Natural Park, a natural parkland to rival the best in Europe that simply begs to be explored.

Other “simply musts” in the area include the Quinta do Lago, the Vale do Lobo and the Vila Sol Resorts, all of which are located in the heart of Algarve’s 'Golden Triangle'. This area, bounded by Quinta do Lago, Vilamoura and Loulé also boasts the smaller but equally luxurious developments of Dunas Douradas and Vale do Garrão.

Quinta do Lago

The luxurious resort of Quinta do Lago has been designed around the game of golf and features some of the most stunning courses to be found anywhere in Europe. That said, there is so much more to Quinta do Lago than golf. Within its bounds are two beautiful lakes that form part of the Ria Formosa Natural Park, a fine restaurant known as Casa do Lago and Quinta Shopping; a wonderful collection of fashionable boutiques, elegant interior design shops, some excellent restaurants and much more. There is even a traditional English pub in case anyone gets homesick.

Vale do Lobo

Vale do Lobo is another one of the central Algarve’s luxurious golfing holiday destinations. This unspoilt area of coastline with its year round sun and rich local history attracts visitors from all over the civilised world. The resort is located just 20 minutes from Faro International Airport which makes it easily accessible by aeroplane from just about anywhere. Vale do Lobo has two outstanding golf courses to offer, The Royal and the Ocean, both of which have played host to the Portuguese Open.

Nestled between Quinta do Lago and Vilamoura, the Vale do Lobo is one of Europe's finest holiday resort locations. Its luxurious villas and apartments benefit not only from the fabulous, year round weather but also from some of the most delightful scenery in the country.

Vilamoura

Vilamoura is famed, not only for its golf but also for its villas and apartments, beaches, restaurants, bars and marina. It is the biggest private resort in Europe and has been purpose built to cater for the discerning tourist. Privately owned villas and apartments on golfing complexes, and a wide range of villas and apartments near to the marina wait to cosset you in the very lap of luxury.

The marina can berth up to 1000 boats and it boasts a huge range of quality restaurants, trendy bars and designer shops to pander to the needs of the wealthy, yachtsmen, golfers and celebrities that line the quayside of an evening. The area becomes very lively, particularly at night when the well heeled step out to party or dine in style.

Dunas Douradas

The prestigious resort of Dunas Douradas is beautifully located on the golden Algarve coastline between the Quinta do Lago and the Vale do Lobo. It offers luxurious apartments and villas for short or long-term rentals, most of them featuring five-star accommodation.

The Algarve Coastline is of course famous for its world-class golf courses and beautiful beaches but there are plenty of other activities to keep everyone busy too. There is a wealth of water based activities from sailing to snorkelling and natural reservoirs and park land abounds in the area, just waiting to be explored.
