Home description
Perfect if you are looking for a family holiday near some sandy beaches. Burgau's sandy beach is only 5 mins by car and other beaches are all within reach.
The villa is traditional in look but has all the mod cons you need to fully relax and feel very much at home. The village itself has a Wellness Centre which offers a range therapies and beauty treatments available to book throughout the year and also has a sandwich and juice bar for those who simply want to relax by the pool at lunchtime. Also on site are floodlit tennis courts and a children's play area making this villa fantastic for family holidays.
Ideal for golfers this villa is within close proximity to some of the best golf courses in the area, the nearest being Parc da Floresta and Boa Vista both within 5 minutes - in some cases the on site management team at AlmaVerde will be able to arrange discounts on green fees. Other courses within a 30 min drive are Palmares Golf, Penina and Alto Golf.
The on site management team is able to organise nannies or babysitters as well as a chef should you require.

The Algarve region
The Western Algarve is a beautiful, relatively unspoilt part of the Algarve. The villa is part of a new village, AlmaVerde, which is set in amongst a Nature Reserve so ideal for walks and bike rides.
Burgau beach is within 5 minutes and there are many other beaches such as Salema, all within a 10 minute drive. If you wanted more of a pedalo or water sports holiday the beach at Lagos (Meia Praia) has a range of water sports available and you can take the glass bottomed boat trip from here. Also, nearby, for families are water parks and a zoo.
For golfers the villa is within 5 mins drive of both Boa Vista and Parc da Floresta, and there are many other golf courses within easy reach.
For the more adventurous, there are oportunities for parasailing, paragliding and even learning to fly microlight aircraft. Scuba divers can explore caves and wrecks in the nearby coastal waters, and discover an abundance of sea life.
Further up toward and above Sagres is great for surfers and there is a surf school available if you want a lesson or 2.
In the villa itself is a pack which will give you ideas of what you can do in the area as well as some local useful numbers.
Lagos / Burgau area
AlmaVerde is the perfect base from which to enjoy the abundant range of sports and leisure activities that the Western Algarve has to offer.
Long, sunny summers and mild winters make the area one of Europe’s premier golf destinations. There are more than twenty courses within an hour’s drive, including some of the top champion-ship courses in Europe.
The open countryside is ideal for Rambling, Bird Watching and Horse Riding and, further inland, the ecology changes and the steeper hillsides provides unlimited challenges for mountain bikers.
Lagos Marina has the best facilities of any Portuguese marina. You can also rent dinghies, wind surfers, or go water-skiing from the beaches at Praia da Luz and Meia Praia. For surfers, the rugged west coast beaches, with their long Atlantic rollers, are an irresistible target.
With well over 100 restaurants in Lagos and the surrounding area, plus a myriad of cafés, there are options to tempt even the most the discerning palate. The cuisine is mostly Portuguese, but there are also some English, French, Italian, Indian and Chinese restaurants, and one Middle Eastern restaurant. For families, there are two water parks and a marine park within a 45 minute drive of AlmaVerde.
How to get there
Faro airport is approximately 50 minutes drive from the property and airlines such as Monarch, EasyJet, BA and TAP Portugal provide flights.
We have a organised an all inclusive discounted price with our recommended car hire company LagoRent who are based in Lagos. LagoRent have a small kiosk at the airport where you will sign all the necessary documents, etc, on your first visit - for any future visit you will be told the plate of your car and where it is found, meaning you have the privilege of walking off the plane and into the car.....as a frequent flyer I cannot recommend this more!
Directions from the airport to the villa are simple - follow the A22 toward Lagos and take the exit at Junction1 (signposted Vila do Bispo & Lagos). From here take the EN125 toward Vila do Bispo and drive into AlmaVerde Village at the Burgau traffic lights.
