Location
About the surrounding area of Villa ObeliaWithin 200 metres of the villa you have the stunning beach and lovely eateries, but if you fancy exploring the full area, you’ll find something for everyone.
For golf fans, the renowned Balaia Golf Course is just a few kilometres away from the house. Or for shopping and a bit more hustle and bustle, the closest town of Albufeira (6km) is known for its Moorish heritage and busy nightlife. The town has certainly expanded from its days as a small fishing port but remains historically fascinating, with the ruins of a fortress and a high cliff overlooking the beach.
This balance of heritage and modernity gives it a fun and exciting atmosphere. Because Albufeira is located 40 km west of Faro and 50 km east of Lagos it is very popular with Portuguese holidaymakers, so you can mingle with the locals.
15 km from Villa Obelia you will find Vilamoura which genuinely is a town that caters for all, water sports fans, golfing pros, nature lovers and seasoned travellers. There are plenty of things to do; relax on the beaches, practice your favourite water sport, play the five golf courses close to the city, or learn something new with a historical tour.
Faro Airport serves Portugal’s Algarve region. The sights of Faro include an archaeological museum and ‘Bishop’s Palace’, a Renaissance cathedral that was bombed during World War II.
Algarve is a beautiful destination for your holiday, where you can enjoy the Mediterranean climate in a pleasant and relaxing setting, with access to activities like golf, surf, diving, windsurfing, culture and of course tasting the traditional cuisine like grilled sardines or jardineira, a local’s favourite beef stew with vegetables

THE REGION
Olhos d’Agua offers the best of both worlds when it comes to holidaying in the Algarve. This low-key little fishing village has the all charm and relaxing vibes of a sleepy town by the seaside combined with the lively buzz of its neighbouring resort towns like Albufeira.
Olhos d’Agua is first and foremost ideal for a holiday on the sunny beach, and you’ll surely spend most of your time here either stretched out on the sand or playing around in the water. Walking the cobbles streets of the village, you’ll encounter quaint seafood restaurants and bars but there’s not much of a nightlife. This is why Olhos d’Agua is the perfect destination for a chilled-out family break. As is Boliqueime, a quaint little village with a historical feel just a short drive from Olhos d’Agua where you can retreat in absolute stillness and make day trips to surrounding towns and attractions.
