Ideally located to explore a number of sandy beaches on the Portuguese coast, this beautiful home exemplifies modern beach living. Instead of a quaint space with the nautical themes you’d usually expect, this villa opts for high-spec design, carefully curated furnishings, and a beautiful colour palette of crisp white and bold pops of yellow. Relying on the many windows for a steady stream of natural light, it feels fresh and like the ideal space for the whole family to unwind together.
Spend long afternoons outdoors where you can either find fun in the private pool, or tap into your less productive side as you lounge around with a drink and some snacks, basking happily in the sun until you feel it’s time to head into the shade.
Fire up the barbecue at lunch so you can grill a Mediterranean feast to be enjoyed alfresco. Afterwards, find a beanbag to nap in or head out for a walk to the supermarket. There are also a number of restaurants not too far away if you’d like to experience authentic local cuisine instead, but cooking in the sleek kitchen can be a joy if you’d like to try out a new recipe.
