Portugal is one of the most popular destinations for UK travellers. With its golden beaches, rugged coastline, charming towns, rich culture and delicious Mediterranean cuisine, the country offers something for everyone. A private holiday home or villa gives you the freedom to enjoy Portugal your way, with comfort, privacy and plenty of space.
From the sunny south to the green, hilly north, Portugal offers a wide variety of landscapes. Whether you love beaches, culture, surfing or nature, each region has its own attractions.
The Algarve is Portugal’s best-known holiday region. Stunning cliffs, clear waters, lively towns like Lagos and Albufeira, and countless beaches make it a favourite among families and sunseekers. Many villas here offer a private pool.
The Prata Coast (Silver Coast) offers long sandy beaches, pine forests, surfing hotspots and traditional coastal towns such as Nazaré and Peniche. Perfect for nature lovers and anyone looking for a quieter alternative to the Algarve.
The Lisbon region is ideal for travellers who want to combine a city trip with a beach holiday. Explore the colourful capital, discover historic Sintra or relax on the beaches of Cascais and Estoril, all close to your holiday home.
Beiras is a peaceful region with wide landscapes, small stone villages and mountains such as Serra da Estrela. A great destination for hikers, nature lovers and travellers who want to escape the crowds.
Northern Portugal is known for the Douro Valley, the historic city of Porto and lush green hills. This region is perfect for culture enthusiasts, foodies and travellers looking for beautiful scenery.
