Algarve, Tavira (Santa Maria e Santiago), Portugal

Tucked away in the peaceful countryside near Tavira, this extraordinary 6-bedroom, 7-bathroom estate offers an unparalleled blend of sophistication, privacy, and proximity to the Algarve’s most captivating coastal treasures. Set within 131,240 m² of manicured grounds, the property is a private sanctuary that reflects the finest in Mediterranean luxury living.

Upon arrival through the grand entrance gates, a cobblestone driveway leads to the stately façade. Inside, a magnificent marble staircase and soaring ceilings set an immediate tone of refinement. To the right, sleek black-framed glass doors open onto a sun-filled living room, an elegant library, and an en-suite guest bedroom, all with direct access to expansive terraces and gardens. The formal dining room connects seamlessly to a modern, fully-equipped kitchen that flows naturally to an outdoor dining area designed for long summer evenings.

The upper level houses the sumptuous master suite, complete with a spa-inspired bathroom, a grand dressing room, and an adjoining office or additional bedroom. Both upstairs bedrooms open onto a south-facing balcony, offering panoramic views over landscaped gardens, the heated swimming pool, and extending towards the glistening Atlantic.

A separate guest annex, linked by a charming winter lounge, provides three further bedrooms, a private living/dining area, a full kitchen, and its own covered terrace. From here, landscaped pathways lead to the main gardens and pool, passing a serene pond and a dedicated BBQ and outdoor kitchen space.

The leisure facilities are nothing short of exceptional: a 12x9 metre heated swimming pool, a modern wooden guest cottage, vegetable gardens, shaded retreats, and a fully equipped outdoor entertaining area. Modern comforts include underfloor heating throughout, 15 kW photovoltaic solar panels, solar hot water, air conditioning, electric gates, a full security system, and a two-car garage.

Perfectly positioned for both privacy and convenience, the estate lies approximately 12–13 km (15–20 minutes by car) from Tavira’s historic centre, with its marina, fine dining, and boutique shopping.
