Vale do Lobo showcases the best of Algarve resort living
Tourism figures speak volumes about Britons’ love of Portugal. In 2024, visitors from the UK led the international crowds spending time here, accounting for 18.1% of all overnight stays in Portugal by non-residents.
Portugal’s easy connectivity from the UK (direct flights take from around 2.5 hours), superb weather, incredible scenery and excellent local food and wine all contribute to the country’s appeal as a second home destination.
Adding to the attraction is the lack of restrictions on foreigners owning property in Portugal, as well as the clear, straightforward buying process. The latter means that buyers seeking second homes in Portugal that they can use this summer have time to do so.
With this in mind, these key-ready holiday homes are ideal for buyers looking for a Portuguese property to enjoy this summer.
Golfers will love a spacious apartment with rooftop Jacuzzi overlooking the 12th hole of the Royal Golf Course at the Algarve’s legendary Vale do Lobo. On the market for €830,000, the home is perfectly located for enjoying the resort’s extensive facilities. Those include tennis and padel courts, swimming pools, the luxurious Royal Spa, a two kilometre stretch of pristine beachfront and more than a dozen restaurants, cafes and bars – as well as two championship 18-hole golf courses.
Towards the western tip of the Algarve, homes at Salema Beach Village – available through Kronos Homes – blend the serenity of village life with access to a stunning and peaceful beach, just a 500m stroll down the pretty hillside. Priced from €340,000, the charming villas feature large terraces and balconies, while owners also enjoy access to a lovely communal swimming pool. Both two- and three-bedroom key-ready villas are available, suiting a variety of buyers’ needs and preferences.
Back at Vale do Lobo, buyers with a cool €6,950,000 to spend could spend their summer enjoying a unique villa perfectly positioned in the resort.
