The perfect Algarve for you

Family villas in Algarve

Algarve is a popular family friendly destination. When planning a villa holiday, families often think of Algarve for its year round sunshine, blue flag beaches and the range of fun things to do for kids including a number of waterparks.

Beach villas in Algarve

The Algarve is renowned for having a number of soft sandy beaches and the wonderful climate means they can be visited as early as May until late September.

Villas with pools in Algarve

The Algarve experiences over 300 days of sunshine a year, so a villa with a private pool is an essential part of any holiday in Portugal. Wake up to enjoy coffee and Pastéis de nata on the terrace, followed by a dip in the swimming pool, which you have all to yourselves.

Algarve villa holiday guide

Honey-coloured beaches and reliably warm weather draw in the locals and visitors to this pretty south coast region. We have a selection of villas, scattered all over the Algarve, which are located in the best spots to combine villa time with day out adventures. Grab a book, bask in the views, and spend the day relaxing on your villa’s private pool deck. Then head out and make the most of this gorgeous stretch of coast. From Roman ruins to cobbled city quarters, there’s a wealth of historic treasures to see. Or, take advantage of the coastal treats – tee off on a championship golf course overlooking insane ocean views, sunbathe on sands backed by red-rock cliffs, enjoy the freshest seafood at a tiny beachfront restaurant, or just cruise the day away on your own private boat.

Average Weather in Weather Chart

Mild winters and scorching summers make the Algarve a destination that's great for a villa holiday year-round. There isn’t ever really a bad time to visit – normally there’s sun and blue skies whatever the month, and even the odd patch of rain doesn’t tend to stay very long. Golf courses are open throughout the year, and beaches never fail to disappoint here (even when it’s at its coldest). July to September are the Algarve’s peak summer months – the sea is warm and air temperatures can rocket to the early 30s, plus it’s the busiest time of year thanks to the European summer holidays. If you’re looking to avoid the crowds, choose a villa holiday out of season – late April to June or mid-September to late October are some of the best times to explore Portugal’s southernmost region.
