Algarve, Almancil, Portugal

A rare opportunity to acquire one of the most distinguished residences, in a peaceful, low-density enclave nestled between the prestigious resorts of Quinta do Lago and Vale do Lobo. Set in the forest, this villa enjoys a rare combination of privacy, tranquillity and centrality.

Built in 2020, this substantial six-bedroom contemporary residence has been thoughtfully designed around modern family living and effortless entertaining. Architecturally symmetrical and beautifully balanced, the property combines sophisticated design with interior-designer furnishings, bespoke finishes, advanced technology and carefully considered details throughout.

From the moment you step inside, the villa makes an exceptional first impression. A dramatic double-height entrance hall creates an immediate sense of grandeur, while flooding the space with natural light and an impressive sense of openness. At the heart of the home, the open-plan living and dining spaces are designed around a seamless indoor-outdoor lifestyle, with floor to ceiling glass doors that fully retract at the touch of a button, opening the interiors directly onto the pool terrace and creating an effortless transition between the living spaces and the gardens beyond. The covered alfresco dining area flows directly from the kitchen, providing the perfect setting for relaxed lunches, evening entertaining and long summer gatherings.

The bespoke kitchen forms a sophisticated centrepiece, complete with a substantial island and separate preparation kitchen. The attention to detail is exceptional, with features including discreet pop-up spice racks, a concealed television operated by remote and multiple lighting scenes designed to transform the atmosphere throughout the day. Every element has been considered to combine refined aesthetics with effortless functionality.

The ground floor also includes two generous bedrooms, a guest WC and a versatile office with its own en-suite bathroom. This space can effortlessly serve as an additional bedroom, providing flexibility for guests, children or live-in assistance.

Upstairs, the principal and guest suites offer a more private retreat, each enjoying beautiful views across the heated pool and the landscape beyond. The principal suite features two walk-in dressing rooms and a large en-suite bathroom with his-and-hers vanities, a feature freestanding bathtub and a spacious walk-in shower. The guest suite is equally refined, creating a calm and luxurious space away from the main living areas.

The stunning 18-metre heated saltwater overflow pool is fitted with an electric cover and surrounded by multiple lounge and entertaining areas, elegant water fountains and two covered outdoor living spaces. One of these can be enclosed with shutters, offering added flexibility and comfort throughout the seasons. An exterior entertainment lounge, complete with a Forge Adour BBQ, ice maker, SMEG dishwasher and fridge, provides an ideal setting for long lunches and relaxed evening entertaining. Underfloor heating extends to the exterior areas, ensuring the outdoor spaces remain comfortable and inviting throughout much of the year.

The basement introduces an extensive collection of private leisure and lifestyle spaces. A further bedroom suite provides additional accommodation, while a separate studio room within the garage benefits from its own independent entrance and pre-installations for a bathroom and kitchenette, offering the potential to create a fully independent guest or staff space. A laundry room, climate-controlled wine cellar, games area, TV room and dedicated home gym complete this level.

This villa is equipped with a considered selection of high-spec features designed to enhance comfort, convenience and security. Hydronic underfloor heating runs throughout the property, including the basement, while ducted air conditioning provides discreet climate control across all levels. Sonos ceiling-integrated audio is installed throughout, complemented by electric blinds and an advanced security system with CCTV. The home also offers the potential for further domotic controls to be introduced, allowing the technology to evolve with the needs of its occupants. A generous garage with additional storage and EV charging adds further practicality to the property.

The location is as convenient as it is exclusive, with the golden sands of Garrão Beach, the renowned Praça at Vale do Lobo, Quinta do Lago and the amenities of Almancil all just five minutes away. World-class golf, beaches, tennis, acclaimed restaurants and an exceptional range of lifestyle amenities are all close at hand, while the villa itself remains peacefully removed from the bustle of the resorts.

More than a home, this is a place designed for living, entertaining and creating beautiful memories - a statement of design, location and lifestyle on Portugal’s southern coast.
