Algarve, Ferragudo, Portugal

Rarely does the term ‘frontline’ encapsulate a property as completely as Vale da Areia. Located just minutes away from the picturesque fishing village of Ferragudo, this contemporary, gated community is a gem of coastal living.

Vale da Areia offers a unique combination of a frontline setting, convenient location (within walking distance to various amenities including nearby restaurants and beaches), and modern architectural design.

Comprising seven spacious townhouses and three free-standing villas, the development’s south-facing positioning affords floods of sunlight and all-important sea views. Not distant sea views; right-there sea views. 

On the flip side, tranquil countryside views stretch to the north, with the majestic Monchique Mountains forming a striking backdrop to the communal swimming pool, at the heart of Vale da Areia.

Just a leisurely stroll away lie some of the region’s best-loved beaches, such as Praia Grande with its funky little restaurants, Pintadinho, and Molhe beaches. Meanwhile, the traditional yet cosmopolitan Ferragudo village is a mere kilometre away.

Sandwiched on the stretch of coast between Ferragudo and the slightly more distant Carvoeiro, Vale da Areia is close to acclaimed golf courses, the vibrant city of Portimão, and the future Ferragudo Marina.

Ferragudo itself has undergone a recent transformation, witnessing the emergence of small local businesses and supermarkets, making it a highly desirable and evolving locale.

The properties range from cosy two-bedroom townhouses to a breathtaking, elevated five-bedroom villa, all impeccably designed to complement their coastal-countryside surroundings.

Sold fully furnished, the units feature generous living areas, expansive terraces, and private outdoor spaces, including barbecue patios, perfect for maximising privacy and enjoyment.

Inside, the bedrooms are all en-suite, with wooden floors and fitted wardrobes, while the bathrooms benefit from natural light through cleverly positioned skylights.

The kitchens keep up the high-end feel, boasting top-quality finishes, plenty of fully integrated storage, and top-of-the-line Bosch appliances, including a double fridge-freezer.

Modern conveniences can be found throughout, from electric blinds to treated double-glazing, a central air conditioning system, LED lighting, and a smart security system for added peace of mind.

Yet, one of the standout features of Vale da Areia is its basements and underground parking. Each unit enjoys its own multi-vehicle garage, accessible via a shared underground driveway, providing a car-free environment within the condominium. Additionally, the vast basement spaces offer a laundry room and endless possibilities for customisation, whether a home gym, cinema, pool room, or simply extra storage - the options are endless.

Vale da Areia combines the security of a gated community with the peace of home and the luxurious features of a high-end development, all in the heart of one of the Algarve’s most desirable locations.
