The Algarve / Central Algarve region

A wonderful sunny climate with a pleasant breeze and great beaches makes the Algarve one of the most popular resorts in Europe. There is something for everyone - plenty of great golf courses, water parks, water sports, old castles/buildings and varied scenery provide suitable options for everyone. The area around Albufeira has excellent facilities for all your holiday needs - shopping, entertainment and plenty of bars and restaurants.

Although many people come to the Algarve for these reasons, there is much more to this area than the traditional beach holiday and a short journey inland will reveal the quaint villages of the old Portugal. There are many places of architechtural interest nearby and the old town of Albufeira is worth a visit, as is the marina at Vilamoura. On top of the excellent facilities and the great climate, the Portugese are very friendly and will make you feel welcome.

The Albufeira / Balaia Golf Village area

Balaia Golf Village consists of luxury traditional-style villas and low rise apartments generously spread among gardens of exotic plants and shaded by mature pines and cork oak trees. The Village is lovingly laid out around six uniquely shaped swimming pools, and its 40 hectares never feel crowded even in the peak of summer.

As well as a beautiful 9 hole golf course right on your doorstep, Balaia Village features many other facilities:-
- 60-bay golf driving range, putting green and practice holes
- Four all weather Tennis Courts
- Six outdoor swimming pools — one of which is heated
- Indoor leisure centre -heated pool, jacuzzi, steam & massage rooms,gym
- Restaurant/Bar and Snack Bar
- Super Kids Club for 3 to 12 yr olds with lots of activities (seasonal)
- Indoor Games (Table Tennis, Darts, Snooker & Table Football)

A small parade of shops is located at the front of the complex and this includes a supermarket, a general store/newsagent, a beauty salon, a hairdressers and a gift shop. A further two small supermarkets are located within 5 minutes walk and a larger one is approx 1 mile away. There are a number of restaurants within 15 mins walk and numerous others within a 5 minute drive or taxi ride.

The Reception is available 24 hours a day and they can arrange car hire, taxi services, babysitting, maid services, currency exchange, tours, etc. Internet access is also available next to Reception

Balaia Village is a ten minutes stroll from the sandy Maria Luísa beach, where sun beds and shades may be rented and wind-surfers are for hire. There are showers and a beach restaurant there too. Slightly further in the other direction is St Eulalia beach.

The Balaia Golf Village incorporates a 9 hole par 3 executive course, and the amenities include a 60 base driving range with covered bays for all-weather use, practice bunkers, chipping and putting greens. In the beautifully appointed clubhouse you will find a pro shop, reception, club hire, trolleys and rental locker facilities not forgetting a large sunny terrace overlooking the course, and a restaurant.

Being centrally located, Balaia Village is an excellent base for golfers visiting the Algarve. The five Vilamoura courses are only 15 minutes drive away, Salgados - 20 minutes and Pine Cliffs a mere 5 minutes away. Quinta do Lago, Vale de Lobo, Pinheiros Altos, Vila Sol and the two Carvoeiro courses are within an easy 30 minutes drive. Balaia has negotiated special green fees with the various Algarvean golf courses, which are offered to Village owners and visitors. Reception will be happy to make bookings for you.

“Absolutly recomended” Estuvimos 10 dias con unos amigos y tres niños de 2,3 y 11 años. La urbanización es perfecta: tranquila, enorme, perfectamente cuidada, con mucha arboleda pero tambien zonas soleadas, 6 piscinas, 2 restaurantes... Y el apartamento es sencillamente perfecto! Somos de Asturias en España y aqui hay muchas casas de turismo rural de gran calidad; en ellas tienes absolutamente de todo... Pues bien; en el apartamento en que estuvimos habia TODO lo que pudieras necesitar: una nevera enorme, ca fetera, calentador de agua, exprimidor de zumo, la vadora, lavavajillas, detergente, estropajo, trapos der limpieza, todo tipo de ollas, jarrras, comida(cereales, cafe, cacao, galletas, aceite, leche, sal, azucar, pasta, ketchup, pimienta, especias, licores....) tijeras, agujas de coser, juegos, hinchables, carbon para la bbq... TODO lo que necesitaras. En fin, es unos de los mejores alojamientos en donde he estado jamás y lo recomiendo al 110%

“The perfect holiday villa!” We spent 3 weeks in July at Balaia. Beeing our third visit at Balaia, this was by far the best villa we have had there. The location of the villa is close to perfect, in the quiet corner of the... more

“A home from home in the sun” This was our fifth time in the Balaia complex but the first time in apartment 318. The apartment is by far the nicest we have stayed in (family of four with two teenagers), the air conditioning was effective and quiet and the kitchen well laid out with a full sized fridge freezer. It is clear that the owners trust their guests. Every room had its own stereo system, there was an impressive library of books, CDs and DVDs too. The beds were comfortable in both bedrooms and the sofa bed in the main lounge that the kids occasionally used was also comfortable as a bed and as a sofa. The location is excellent, being close to our favourite pool but shielded by a low wall from direct view ensuring privacy. We're planning to go back next year.
