The slice of paradise that is Villa Lua will make you feel like you have arrived on a remote tropical island. This sweet escape is located on the hills in the village of Marinha in the Algarve. The elegantly shaped pool offers complete privacy and has Roman steps leading into the crystal-clear blue waters, allowing you to swim while overlooking the gorgeous Lisbon coastline.
The charming outdoor dining area makes eating under the sky effortless during the spectacular sunsets and sunrises and overlooks the garden’s lovely flower beds and lawns. Inside, the grand, circular dining room with quaint artworks on the walls has space for six and is tastefully decorated with lovely ornaments and refreshing colours.
The brightly coloured living room has a marble floor and a homely ambience with glass doors looking out at the scenery. The spacious room boasts vivid colours, contains comfortable sofas and a flat screen television, and leads out by the poolside.
The villa’s kitchen comes with a beautiful range of modern equipment and appliances for a variety of dishes and drinks with a coffee machine, oven, toaster, microwave and cooker. You will appreciate taking food straight into the garden via the kitchen’s large glass doors.
All bedrooms are spacious and airy with white marble floors and beaming natural light; everything that guests require for a tranquil night’s sleep during their stay.

Walk to Beach
Beach Nearby
<1hr to Airport
Villa Lua is located in a peaceful village near the central Algarve. The glorious Marinha beach is only 350 meters away from the property and is famous for its stunning turquoise sea water, orange limestone and dramatic cliffs.
This scenic Algarve beach is synonymous with tourists’ expectations of the beaches in this part of the world with all of its break-taking natural beauty.
Due to the clearness and clarity of the water, snorkelling is a fantastic choice, and boat trips let visitors view all of the natural rock and cliff patterns up close. There is also a bar selling snacks on this beach for breaks in between taking in the enchanting surroundings.
Carvoeiro Beach is only 9km away from the villa and provides a lovely family day out. Although it is busy during the summer months, there are enough bars, eateries, and ice-cream sellers close by for everyone and plenty of parking is available.
The small beach has an excellent view over the once fisherman village of Carvoeiro and has exhilarating water sports experiences available to try. The town of Carvoeiro is also known for its buzzing nightlife.
Sky Bar Carvoeiro’s is a contemporary rooftop bar open during weekends that pairs a fantastic view with delicious cocktails. It is advised to visit here just after sundown to see it set over the coastline and cliffs.
The nearby Mount Fóia is a site worth seeing. Part of the Serra de Monchique range, the mountain provides a 360 view at one of the highest points in the Algarve after an eight-mile hike.

The Region
Carvoeiro has always been known for its beautiful coastline, adorned with cliffs, coves and incredible sandy beaches stretching all the way along to Albufeira. These days, however, there is a lot more going on in this charming town than just waves hitting the sand (although that’s certainly still a highlight).
In the past few years Carvoeiro has developed to accommodate for the growing number of tourists who are curious to see what the fuzz is all about, and the town continues to get livelier and livelier each summer. While it has kept its character and remains exquisitely peaceful, there are also plenty of modern amenities and loads of exciting activities in the area. The only thing Carvoeiro won’t provide is a good party, but there are other parts of the Algarve which are perfect for that.
ABOUT THE ALGARVE

But while you’re enjoying one of our fantastic villas in Algarve, you may well want to take some time out from all that sun worship to explore everything else the region has to offer – so we’ve put together this handy travel guide to give you a little help and inspiration!
