Overview

The Salgados lagoon is one of the most important coastal freshwater wetlands in the Algarve, offering opportunities for birding, walking and biking throughout the year.

Filled with one-of-a-kind items sourced from around the globe—think batik textiles, hand-carved buddhas and artisan-made furnishings—this boho-chic hideaway embodies the term relaxed luxury.

Just a few meters from the ocean, the garden gate of the villa opens directly onto Praia de Galé beach, one of the longest and loveliest stretches of sand in the Algarve. This makes Villa Hibiscus a rare find in Portugal, where most beach side properties are kept in private hands.

Beyond the beach, hidden from the prying eyes of passers-by, is the exquisite swimming pool, terrace and rambling landscaped gardens, where shady nooks provide sociable spaces for al fresco dining and sundowners.

Inside the whitewashed villa are four beach-themed bedrooms, each with their own en-suite bathroom; a kitchen equipped with every imaginable amenity; and a smaller bedroom, ideal for young children or a live-in housekeeper who can deal with guests’ day-to-day requirements.

While the villa is cocooned from the outside world, the bars, boutiques and restaurants of Albufeira and Guia are within easy reach, meaning you can fully enjoy the local Algarve lifestyle. For back-to-nature experiences, the nearby Salgados nature reserve, a protected stretch of coastal wetlands, promises excellent birding, walking and biking opportunities. All the amenities of VILA VITA Parc resort, including the restaurants, bars and spa—as well as top-shelf chefs, DJs, security, or anything else you may need for an in-villa event—are all easily accessible

Guests can enjoy of a variety of local restaurant options from casual to fine dining, including the world-famous piri-piri chicken from Guia, a must for all visitors.
