This cool, cavernous home belonging to the Dutch artist Eric de Bruijn brings all the wow-factor –⁠ and an impressive location to boot. It's slap-bang in the heart of Portimão and just a fifteen-minute stroll from the beach. Carefully-curated artworks adorn the walls, and Moroccan and Portuguese objets d'art unite the space – all spread out over three floors of sheer luxury. Spill out in the large, open-plan living area for pre-dinner cocktails – the polished concrete floors keep things cool and airy. Whip up delicious meals in not one but two chef-worthy kitchens and outdoor cooking areas. Or let a private chef take the reins for the evening as you gather your ensemble around the vast dining table - the unified Sonos system will help set the mood. Stepping outside, you'll discover your very own Moorish oasis in the city. Cool off in the riad-inspired inky black courtyard pool or soak up the sun on the dusty-pink terraces adorned in plants and cacti. And as dusk settles over the rooftops, head up to the vast roof terrace for alfresco dining beneath the pergola. You could easily keep the night flowing here with drinks around the fire pit. When you finally venture out, head over to Michelin-starred restaurant Vista, where you can savour flavours and views of the Atlantic, or mosey into the historic heart of Portimão to soak up the local culture amidst the array of local eateries and bars. It's all for the taking here.
