Inside the whitewashed villa are four beach-themed bedrooms, each with their own en-suite bathroom; a kitchen equipped with every imaginable amenity; and a smaller bedroom for a live-in housekeeper, who can deal with guests’ day-to-day requirements. Beyond the beach is the exquisite swimming pool, terrace and rambling landscaped gardens, where shady nooks provide sociable spaces for al fresco dining and sundowners.

With the teal blue of the Atlantic beckoning from the villa’s outdoor dining terrace, the poolside patio and almost every window, Mar Azul capitalises on its seaside setting. Stretching along the outer cliff edge of the property, the lengthy pool also makes the most of its coastal location with unobstructed sea views.
Villa Mar à Vista
VILA VITA Collection: Villa Mar à Vista, Praia de Salema
Sitting atop a gently sloping cliff far from the madding tourist crowds of the Algarve, Mar à Vista villa is sandwiched between the flour-fine sands of the unspoilt Praia de Salema beach and the whitewashed hamlet of Salema, a traditional Algarve village. The villa sits on the edge of a protected national park and offers head-on ocean views.
Mar à Vista matches the local architectural style fits in perfectly with its surrounds. Inside, the south-facing property is flooded with sunlight, which pours into every room through large windows. The villa’s clean and contemporary design with subtle African influences create a noble and luxurious atmosphere. Mar à Vista’s elevated position ensures spectacular panoramas of the Atlantic coastline. The views reach a climax at the villa’s cliffside patio and infinity pool, where—from certain angles—it appears guests could swim right off the edge and into the ocean.
Townhouse Estrela do Mar
VILA VITA Collection: Townhouse Estrela do Mara, Praia de Salema
Set in the village of Salema, a perfectly preserved vestige of the Algarve of old, the Estrela do Mar townhouse comprises two former fishermen’s houses. Connected via an alley on ground level and a glass bridge on the upper floor, these two adjoining annexes combine old-world Algarve architecture with new-world comforts, and make an ideal space for either two couples or a family of four. Though the exterior still maintains its traditional form, so typical of this seaside village, the interiors have been refitted to deliver all the comfort and style of 21st century living.
The townhouse’s absolute highlight is its terrace where a barbecue, table and chairs for four people as well as sun beds can be found: it offers a spectacular view of the golden beach of Salema, that is just seconds away.
