In a beautiful tranquil location, surrounded by nature and just minutes away from the coast, Villa Torralta is perfectly placed to enjoy the delights of this wonderful region.
Lagos (lah-goosh) is nestled in an attractive bay, and its pretty old town with cobbled lanes, charming squares and quaint churches enclosed by 16th-century walls, it is a perfect place to stroll and explore. You will find unique, quirky shops and enjoy delicious meals. Lagos is historic and characterful with a rich seafaring heritage. Its attractive, ancient buildings include the 17th-century fort and intricate Baroque churches such as Igreja de Nossa Senhora da Luz, Santo Antonio chapel and the city’s ancient Moorish walls.
The Mercado Municipal da Avenida de Lagos is the number one spot for food shopping. The ground floor fish market is brimming with fresh fish and seafood of all kinds, perfect for your barbecue. It is buzzy, atmospheric and very colourful.
The big draw of Lagos is the gorgeous beaches. Quiet sandy coves nestled between dramatic cliffs. Every water sport imaginable is catered for, and there are great seafood restaurants and plenty of space on the majority of the beaches.
Praia de Porto de Mos is the villa’s closest beach and is large, beautiful and uncrowded. It’s a firm favourite for surfers and bodyboarding as the waves are big and foamy. Other beaches just a short drive away and worth visiting include Praia Dona Ana, a picture-perfect beach surrounded by high cliffs offering shade and calm waters; this is one of the best beaches to go snorkelling and deep diving.
Praia do Camilo is another golden sandy beach with calm waters accessible by 200 wooden steps; it is one of the most beautiful beaches in the Algarve.
The main beach of Lagos is the spectacular Meia Praia Beach, and Lagos has a smart and sophisticated marina lined with shops, bars and restaurants and offers many boat trips to visit caves, snorkels or dolphin watches.
If you want to explore further afield, to the east of Lagos, you will find the stunning Praia do Alvor. It is located at the end of a wonderful boardwalk all the way from Alvor Town, running past the incredible, protected marshlands of the Ria de Alvor Nature Reserve. The stunning Praia do Alvor features three impressive sea stacks known as the Tres Irmaos or Three Brothers, as well as fine white sand, ochre sandstone cliffs, caves and extensive dunes.
The Boavista Golf Resort and Spa is only 2.5km from the villa and offers excellent top-class golf facilities and a wonderful Spa.
Villa Torralta is the perfect space to enjoy lazy days and balmy nights and offers a wonderful base to make the most of the gorgeous region renowned for its fabulous beaches. Stunning scenery, authentic towns and delicious cuisine.

The Region
Lagos is a city on the western part of Portugal's south coast. The city is famous for its stunning beaches with beautiful rock formations and steep cliffs. The superb beauty of this charming city has no equal in the Algarve and is the reason why hordes of tourists travel thousands of kilometres to visit it every year.
Quiet sandy coves are sandwiched between dramatic cliffs. The sandy 2.5-mile stretch of Meia Praia caters to every water sport imaginable. And when you've had your fill, you can digest your day with some of the best nightlife in the Algarve region.
Drinking and good times continue to be a fundamental part of a visit to Lagos, and the fine array of restaurants, bars and local festas stand as a testament to this. The busy flea market fills the centre's narrow streets, which also boasts a Cultural Centre hosting various exhibitions and events throughout the year.
Lagos is equally suited as a family holiday destination; there are safe and sheltered beaches for your children, while thrill-seeking teenagers will adore the theme and water parks.
ABOUT THE ALGARVE
Though most people tend to see the Algarve as all about the beaches and a holiday on the Med, there’s far much more to it than that. There’s actually a load of fascinating culture and history, superb cuisine and enthralling adventures to be had, though we’d be the first to admit that the beaches are pretty special too, with lots of sand, spectacle and wonderfully clean water.
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!
