A five to ten-minute walk down the private access and a dune takes you to the beach, from Villa Élan - a modern house with sleek lines and minimalist, but very comfortable decor. In the precious ‘Cacela Velha’, one of the smallest and best-preserved villages in the eastern Algarve, which rises from the top of the hill, it is possible to admire the natural park - a labyrinth of channels, islands and marshes connected to the Atlantic Ocean, with its calm beaches and warm waters. The views, are always changing, as winds and tides create new shapes in the water and sand. Being a few steps away from all that and having one of the region’s most prestigious golf courses on your doorstep are certainly the cherry on the cake. It’s a joy to walk through the beautiful cobbled streets of the village, full of typical Algarve architecture: white houses with colourful accents, the famous Algarve chimneys, and the soundtrack of the pure nature. Thanks to the sea, unique landscapes, nature, culture, tradition and friendly people, this is surely the right destination for a unique holiday experience.
