The annual Luxury Lifestyle Awards is an international award ceremony providing luxury brands with recognition for their overall excellence. The objective of these awards is to recognise excellence across the whole range of property industry sectors and maintain the highest standards in the industry worldwide.
In 2023, SandyBlue won the prestigious title of ‘Best Luxury Holiday Home Lettings & Management in Portugal’. Following discussions between the 2024 judging panel, we are delighted to say that the team successfully held on to this award for the second year running. This is truly an honour and makes all of the continued hard work worthwhile.
Of course, this success is a great reflection of our continued hard work. However, it is also indicative of the Algarve’s continued popularity, becoming a true leader in the world of luxury villa escapes.
A success for the Algarve’s villa rental space
Awards and recognition like this speak volumes about the Algarve’s rising popularity – it refuses to slow down! The Algarve offers a well-rounded experience that caters to a diverse range of tourists, making it a perennial favourite for those seeking a memorable holiday destination.
In the last year alone, we have seen emerging markets, like the USA and Canada, turn their attention to the region. Comparing 2023 to 2021, we have seen a 63% increase in traffic from the USA.
The region itself is constantly being recognised in travel awards, winning the World Travel Awards for Europe’s best beach destination for countless consecutive years.
Finally, more people are considering holidays outside of the peak summer months, be it an early spring holiday or to escape the colder months for a milder experience in Portugal. This is great news for businesses in the region, who can adapt their marketing strategies to attract guests all year round. Restaurants, tour operators, spa facilities and many more companies can enjoy this popularity with new tourists.
Dedication to excellence
Emerging travel trends and shifting attitudes mean that it’s important to constantly adapt. From targeted customer campaigns to adopting improved sales tools, our team has seen these efforts pay off in the last 12 months.
Furthermore, an excellent experience for guests means great feedback for our owner partners. We must say that this award recognition is completely shared with them, as their trust in our services means we can grow and succeed together.
With 2024 in full swing, the hard work and dedication to excellence will continue.
