About this property
It’s all very Moorish when you stay in Dar Al Vilamoura, in the historic resort of Vilamoura, on Portugal’s Algarve Atlantic Ocean coast. This charming two-storey detached villa has been recently renovated and now has all the mod cons, including complimentary air conditioning, Wi-Fi throughout and electric charging points for your eco-friendly car.
The Dar has four spacious ensuite double bedrooms and can comfortably accommodate up to eight guests, ideal for a family holiday or a getaway with a group of friends. The house is set within an enclosed terrace with a private swimming pool. The exteriors of the villa are classic Mediterranean whitewashed walls, with hints of Majorelle blue paint and shutters. The interiors are cool and contemporary, furnished with modern pieces stylishly designed for comfort and decorated with a calm colour palette of soft, subtle shades.
The light and airy open-plan living space is on the upper floor of the house. The seating area has a pale blue L-shaped sofa, a console table, and a satellite television pre-loaded with Netflix. The all-white kitchen is fully equipped with all the latest sleek stainless steel appliances that you will need to cater for your holiday, including that must-have Dolce Gusto coffee maker. An adjacent six-seater dining set is perfect for informal gatherings. The upper floor has two garden and pool view balconies; one is furnished with soft seating, and the other has a dining set and a built-in barbeque for supper under the stars. The Dar has four well-appointed spacious bedrooms, two with double beds and two with twin beds, all with ensuite checked tiled shower rooms, flat-screen televisions, and air conditioning. A handy guest cloakroom on the ground floor completes the accommodation.
Spend the day sunbathing on the terrace, swimming in your own private swimming pool, relaxing on the adjacent loungers under the shady coconut matting parasol, and cooling off under the outdoor shower before taking tea at the soft seating set under the veranda. Join in the fun at the shared facilities, with a larger communal swimming pool, a tennis court, and a children’s playground.
Dar Al Vilamoura can be found in the popular holiday resort town of Vilamoura, on the coast of Portugal’s Algarve Atlantic Ocean. The nearest international airport is in Faro, only twenty-five kilometres from your holiday home. Supermarkets for provisions for your stay are within walking distance, and the original old village is just six hundred metres away.
You are spoilt for choice with which beach to spend the day sunbathing on. Start with the golden sands of Praia da Marina, with a selection of water sports, including jet skiing, parasailing, and paddleboarding; try the red cliffs of Praia da Falesia, or go to the family-friendly Praia de Vilamoura. All aboard for a boat trip, swimming and snorkelling along the coast.
Vilamoura is a golfer’s paradise, with a nearby golf resort, a golf park, and an international course. Practice your backhand at the local tennis academy. Ride a pony over the sandy dunes and shores.
Visit the historic centre of Faro, with its charming old town, go further afield to Albufeira and historic Lagos, and see the beauty of Ria Formosa Natural Park.
In the evening, head to Vilamoura Marina, enjoy a feast of freshly caught seafood by the seashore, have a flutter in the casino, and then dance the night away in the resort’s lively clubs and music venues.
