Consider waking up to sprawling orange groves surroundings and undulating luscious landscape views, each morning from your terrace. This impressive villa, designed by the architecture practice studioarte, is located just outside of the historical centre of Silves. Inside, a stunningly modern interior awaits – crisp whites are a reflection of the villa’s traditional whitewashed exterior whilst walls of glass invite the natural light to flood the elegant space. The minimal and luxury design aesthetic features contemporary furnishings, ambient light fixtures and a statement fireplace that punctuates the central space, allowing you to set the tone for your mood. We think you’ll love spending intimate dinners around the sleek dining table under the warm glow of your pendant lamps – these soft luminous forms mimic the oranges that surround your villa. Enjoy the breathtaking vistas of your pristine pool from every room – whether you’re waking up peacefully to the sunrise in your serene and plush bedroom or indulging in a restorative bath as the sun fades beneath the herbaceous horizon. It’s effortless to pass time lounging out on your terrace sunbeds, turning pages of your new read or floating amongst the glistening ripples of your crystalline pool. Come sunset you’ll want to be nestled on your terrace for a Mediterranean dinner of arroz de tamboril, a Portuguese monkfish, tomato and laurel risotto dish. If you can pull yourself away, post up on the powdery sands of Praia de Armação de Pêra for the day and spend lunch at a local taverna. The historical town of Silves is worth the short drive for perusing picturesque streets and exploring the Castelo de Silves.

Take your pick from Albandeira, Benagil and Carvoeiro – the waters are crystal clear, and the red sandstone sea cliffs are dramatic wherever you choose to lay down your towel. Praia da Marinha deserves a special mention for its magnificent rock arch formations that grace...
