Villa Zinha not only occupies this incredible position on the sea, but it’s also an outstanding villa. The pool, terrace and garden are simply wonderful. Children will love the pool and garden to play in as well as the table tennis table. The comfortable seating and sunbeds are just waiting for you - don’t’ forget those holiday books!

Inside the villa, you will be equally impressed. The open-plan living area is gorgeous, opening straight up to the terrace. The kitchen has everything you would hope for, including a state-of-the-art coffee machine.

The striking staircase from the wonderful atrium space leads upstairs. One very spacious bedroom has two single beds and a sofa bed so you can fit extra guests here. The panoramic views of the sea are dazzling. The other double also boasts the same incredible views. Villa Zinha is just one of a handful of villas in Praia da Luz with such a stunning position right on the seafront. If it’s available, we recommend booking fast!

Location:
Praia da Luz is absolutely charming. It is a quiet resort with many fantastic restaurants, bars and two beautiful beaches - a wonderful destination for families. The main beach is just a 10-minute drive or 20-minute walk and is absolutely stunning. It has a European Blue Flag award and is very safe for children. There are several supermarkets, the favourite being Baptista. You should also try the cakes and bread from the bakers on Rua Direita. Those with an adventurous spirit looking for an adrenaline rush should book a trip with Booster Bikes in the resort. The longer trips are 65km, and guides take you to see attractive places from a completely different perspective. These eMTB electrically assisted bikes are incredible, so you will not even be exhausted at the end of the day! There are shorter trips too! You can take a walk along the clifftop to Burgau and watch the Atlantic rollers splashing on the rocks below. It is sensational. Salema is another lovely place to visit. If you love sardines, they are delicious at one of the restaurants overlooking the beach. You can sit and watch the local fishermen repairing their nets. There are some wonderful little isolated coves if you are brave enough to tackle the steep cliff paths – not a good idea with young children though! Carrapateira is a tranquil, pretty, spread-out village. The lighthouse can be seen from 60 miles away, and there is a very interesting museum you can visit. You will see the most spectacular sunsets at Sagres. You really should wash this down with a Sagres beer! Lagos has an interesting and important museum, wonderful promenade and restaurants serving fantastic food in the Old Town. You can buy fruit and vegetables grown by the locals who may still have a donkey and cart at the Saturday morning market. Don’t forget to buy some honey and figs too! Boat trips from Lagos visit caves and include snorkelling or dolphin watching. Don’t forget there are several very impressive golf courses close to Luz. Boavista is an 18-hole championship course and Gold Santo Antonio is another par 71, 18-hole course set within Parque da Floresta.

About the area
Praia da Luz, located in the Algarve region of Portugal, is a serene coastal town that beckons travelers with its picturesque landscapes, tranquil atmosphere, and friendly community. Known for its stunning beach, Praia da Luz is a haven for sun-seekers and families looking for a relaxing seaside getaway.
The town's main attraction is undoubtedly its expansive sandy beach, flanked by the iconic Rocha Negra cliff, a volcanic remnant that provides a dramatic backdrop to the azure waters of the Atlantic Ocean. The beach is well-equipped with sun loungers and parasols, making it an ideal spot for sunbathing, while the gentle slope of the seabed ensures safe swimming conditions, perfect for children and less confident swimmers.
Water sports enthusiasts will find plenty to keep them entertained, with opportunities for windsurfing, paddleboarding, and kayaking. The clear waters also make for excellent snorkeling and diving, with a variety of marine life to discover.
Beyond the beach, Praia da Luz offers a charming promenade lined with palm trees, where visitors can enjoy leisurely strolls and take in the sea views. The promenade is dotted with cafes, restaurants, and bars, offering a taste of the local cuisine, which is heavily influenced by the sea, featuring fresh fish and seafood dishes.
For those interested in history and culture, the town's 16th-century church, Igreja da Luz de Lagos, stands as a testament to the area's rich past. The church was partially destroyed in the 1755 earthquake but has since been restored, retaining its beautiful Manueline doorway.
Nature lovers can explore the surrounding landscape by hiking along the cliffs or venturing into the countryside to discover the region's flora and fauna. The nearby Boavista Golf & Spa Resort caters to golf enthusiasts, providing a world-class golfing experience with stunning views.
Day trips from Praia da Luz are also rewarding, with the historic town of Lagos just a short drive away, offering a larger selection of cultural attractions, including the Forte da Ponta da Bandeira and the Mercado de Escravos, Europe's first slave market.
In essence, Praia da Luz is a destination that offers a peaceful retreat with its beautiful beach, engaging activities, and proximity to cultural sites. It's a place where travelers can unwind, soak up the Portuguese sun, and enjoy the slower pace of life in this delightful corner of the Algarve.
