Algarve, Almancil, Portugal

Set in the exclusive and serene neighbourhood of Quinta das Salinas, this brand-new south facing villa enjoys a truly privileged position on the frontline of the Ria Formosa Nature Reserve, just a stone’s throw from the golden sands of Ancão beach. Surrounded by natural beauty, this unique setting allows you to effortlessly reach the Algarve’s scenic wooden boardwalk that stretches along the coastline, offering rare walkable access to the Algarve’s most iconic beach restaurants and lifestyle amenities, all while maintaining a peaceful, private setting.

Upon arrival, the home makes an unforgettable first impression. A double-height entrance hallway, flooded with an abundance of natural light, sets the tone for the calm and contemporary interiors beyond. From here, the home unfolds into open-plan living areas that have been carefully designed to embrace the Algarve’s year-round sunshine and effortless indoor-outdoor lifestyle. The main living areas are designed for modern life and effortless entertaining. An expansive open plan living room with a wood-burning fireplace opens directly to the sun-drenched terrace and private 3 x 10.5m private swimming pool, with views of the protected forest beyond. Adjacent, lies the sleek, fully equipped kitchen with premium AEG appliances, as well as a Bora induction hob with integrated extractor and a wine fridge, whilst a stylish concealed pantry cupboard with a coffee making station complete the functionality of this central zone. The large breakfast bar is ideal for informal dining and entertaining, while a walk-in butlers pantry ensures everything is close at hand, making hosting feel both elegant and easy. Just off the kitchen, a flexible bonus room is currently used as a playroom but could easily become a sixth bedroom or a home office.

A sculptural spiral staircase winds through all three floors, adding a bold architectural statement to this elegant home. The villa features five bedroom suites, each thoughtfully positioned for privacy and comfort. One is located on the ground floor with direct access to the poolside terrace - perfect for guests, while three generous suites occupy the upper level, each opening onto a sun-drenched south-facing terrace. The primary suite is particularly impressive, complete with a walk-in dressing room and a luxurious en-suite with both a shower and a freestanding bathtub. A fifth suite on the lower level, with its own entrance, offers ideal accommodation for a nanny, housekeeper or guests seeking independence.

The lower level of the villa incorporates a large multi-purpose room currently set up as a TV and games lounge. With the flexibility to transform into a home cinema, gym, or even an entertainment zone, this space allows you to tailor the home to your lifestyle. One of the home’s most breathtaking features is the rooftop terrace. From here, panoramic views stretch across the pine forest to Quinta do Lago’s lake, the Ria Formosa Nature Reserve and the Atlantic Ocean - an unforgettable setting for yoga at dawn, sunbathing, sunset drinks, or evening soirées.

Outside, the villa delivers the perfect blend of relaxation and entertainment with a sun-soaked pool deck, gas BBQ, and a partially covered lounge area for al fresco living. A single garage, dedicated utility room with AEG laundry appliances, and lock-up-and-leave design make this home as practical as it is beautiful.
