Located in Portugal’s ever-popular Algarve, Villa Sun Gale offers guests a spacious hideaway in the sun. This stunning five-bed villa infuses traditional Portugese architecture with Moroccan décor and has everything you need to enjoy a well-earned break in Albufeira.
Form the moment you arrive, you’ll be able to bask the quiet contentment that only comes from having nothing but your own space to enjoy during your stay. Spread across two levels, you have five bedrooms to choose from which can comfortably sleep up to a total of ten people. With plenty of space to kick back and relax, this home away from home offers everything you need to make the most of your stay in Albufeira.
When it comes to living space, Villa Gale Sun is top-notch. You can sit back and relax in a comfortable living room and dining space for light bites, with two sofas and ample additional seating. Entertainment can be yours through the satellite TV with DVD player, letting you enjoy your favourite TV and movies during your stay. If you visit during the cooler months and feel a slight chill, there’s no need to worry, a fully functioning fireplace finishes the room for your benefit.
At the heart of any home is the kitchen, and Villa Gale Sun is no different. Adding to that authentic homely feel, the fully-equipped kitchen provides all the essentials you need to feed your family and friends. For meals, you can choose from two dining spaces – either dine just off from the living room or in a separate dining room which transports guests across the sea into neighbouring Morocco. Delightful Moroccan lounge décor makes this space perfect for sharing a meal and unwinding in good company.
Guests can take their pick from three rooms with twin beds or two with king-size beds. Once again blending traditional Mediterranean décor with Moroccan, each room is delightfully decorated. While one of the twin rooms benefits from its own en-suite shower room, there are two additional bathrooms on the upper floor.
Outside, your own private pool and lounging area is yours to enjoy. There’s also a small outdoor dining and food preparation area with a brick pizza oven, perfect for lunch by the pool. The swimming pool is a single depth pool with no access ladders for entry and exit, so we recommend not letting children play near the pool unattended. On the patio, there’s a small children’s play area with a see-saw to play on during their stay.

<1hr to Airport
Villa Sun Gale is perfectly located in a quiet residential area of sleepy Gale, located on the West of Albufeira. Your nearest airport is Faro, which is around 35 minutes away by car. If you take a taxi from the airport to the hotel, expect to pay around 35€ each way for a small vehicle or more if you need a larger one.
Whether you prefer to cook at home or dine out during your stay, Villa Sun Gale offers the best of both worlds. The local supermarket is only a five-minute walk away, letting you cook delicious homemade meals in the comfort of your own villa. Or, the beach and a number of cafes and diners are around 25 minutes away by foot. If you’ve rented a car, travel between Gale centre and the villa couldn’t be easier.
Your villa is located near the tip-top of Praia da Gale, a picture-perfect Portuguese beach that stretches on as far as the eye can see. Its golden sands and blue waters are the perfect place to catch the sun and make memories.
There’s also plenty to do in the surrounding area – local markets and places of interest are never far away in Albufeira. The cliffs surrounding the area are ideal for holidaymakers who enjoy hiking, letting you enjoy the area’s views from high above.
Outside of Gale, you can easily visit other towns in and around Albufeira with your own car and using public transport. Albufeira central, with its historic Old Town and sightseeing opportunities, is less than 20 minutes away by car. If you’re amongst golf lovers, Portugal is well known for its spectacular golf courses, with plenty to be found near your villa. The nearest golf course, Salgados, is just five minutes away by car.

THE REGION
Set along Portugal’s sun-drenched Algarve coast, Albufeira
is a vibrant seaside town that effortlessly blends golden beaches, historic
charm and a lively holiday atmosphere. Once a quiet fishing village, it has
grown into one of the Algarve’s most popular destinations, celebrated for its
stunning coastline, welcoming climate and wide appeal to families, couples and
groups alike.
At the heart of Albufeira lies its picturesque Old Town,
where cobbled streets are lined with traditional restaurants, pastelarias and
local craft shops. The Old Town Square is a hub of activity both day and night,
often hosting live music and cultural events, making it a perfect spot to soak
up the town’s authentic atmosphere.
Albufeira is best known for its beautiful beaches, many of
which are framed by dramatic limestone cliffs. Praia dos Pescadores, located
right by the Old Town, is ideal for those who want easy access to cafés and
boat trips, while nearby beaches such as São Rafael, Galé and Coelha offer a
more natural, laid-back feel with crystal-clear waters and striking rock
formations. These beaches are perfect for swimming, sunbathing and water sports.
After dark, Albufeira’s nightlife scene is one of the most
famous in the Algarve. The lively Strip in the Montechoro area is packed with
bars, clubs and late-night venues, while the marina offers a more relaxed
evening vibe with waterfront dining and cocktail bars.
Nature lovers and golfers are also well catered for, with
scenic coastal walks, boat tours to the famous Benagil caves, and several
top-class golf courses just a short drive away. Albufeira is conveniently located near Faro Airport and benefits from excellent road and public transport links, making it an ideal base for discovering the wider region.
