Hi everyone, Gabi here! 🌸
When I think of the perfect holiday, I think of waking up, grabbing a towel, and feeling the sand between my toes in less than 10 minutes. No car, no traffic, just the sound of the waves.
From our 13 currently available homes, I’ve handpicked the ones that are truly closest to the shore. If you want to maximize your beach time, these are the ones to book:
The “300-Meter” Queen: Villa Viola
This is our absolute star for proximity. Located just 300 meters from the stunning Arrifes Beach, you can basically smell the salt from your terrace. It’s perfect for those early morning swims before anyone else arrives.

The Galé Duo: Villa Gui & Salgados Beach Paradise
If you love long stretches of sand and boardwalks:
- Villa Gui: A very short stroll (approx. 400-600m) leads you straight to the Manuel Lourenço/Galé area.
- Salgados Beach Paradise: About 600m away from the famous Salgados dunes. Perfect for nature lovers!

The “Hidden Gem” Path: Villa Costa
Located about 700m from Coelha Beach. It’s a beautiful walk through a typical Algarve path that opens up to one of the most charming coves in the region.

Honorable Mention: Villa Chris
At about 800m from São Rafael, it’s still an easy walk to one of the most photographed beaches in the world.
Gabi’s Tip: Since we only have 13 houses left in total for this season, these “beachfront” options are always the first to go. If you want to forget your car keys and just wear your flip-flops, this is your sign!

Ready to dive in?
Best,
Gabi
