NEW FOR 2026
It’s all about location at charming Villa Esmeralda, conveniently situated just 200 metres from the tennis club in the eternally popular Vale do Lobo resort. The house is nicely secluded, screened by walls, hedges and pine trees, yet still within walking distance of golf, tennis, numerous restaurants, boutiques, bars and the beach. Mixed groups and families with older kids particularly love Esmeralda, as everyone can come and go as they please.

Mixed groups and families with older kids particularly love Esmeralda, as everyone can come and go as they please.
The three bedroom/three bathroom layout offers maximum versatility for your group, with further ample and very comfortable social spaces both inside the villa and out. For early risers, breakfast in the shade of a beautiful, bougainvillea-draped terrace is a wonderful way to start the day, and with so much within walking distance, there’s no stress around everyone having to get up and out at the same time. Mealtimes are equally relaxed, with a big built-in barbecue if you feel like cooking, and restaurants within walking distance if you don’t. Esmeralda also works very well for a couple looking for a bit of extra space and a private pool; the pretty garden is a very inviting spot to return to after a game of tennis or a round of golf.
Vale do Lobo was one of the very first resorts on the Algarve, and has arguably the best location on the whole coast. Staying at Villa Esmeralda puts you within easy reach of not just the tennis club and two exceptional championship golf courses but also Val do Lobo’s bustling beach-front Praça, with a great choice of restaurants and bars.

Algarve holidays promise a wealth of different experiences and landscapes, whether you choose a private villa or a hotel as your base.
Portugal’s most southerly region boasts an iconic and instantly recognisable coastline of fine sandy beaches backed by ochre-yellow cliffs, sea stacks and rock archways that stand testament to the power of nature. Inland, there are rolling hills dotted with citrus and olive groves, plus crumbling castles, mountain villages and walking paths to explore. The Algarve is unique in enjoying an Atlantic coast with a Mediterranean climate, attracting not just holidaymakers but also a wide variety of birdlife that flocks to the Ria Formosa Natural Park.
And despite its long term popularity as a villa holiday destination, the Algarve has retained pockets of real character in its old towns and regional capital Faro, where you can still eat well relatively inexpensively. Portuguese cuisine is in our view one of the most underrated in Europe, so prepare to be deliciously surprised by fresh fish, hearty stews, sweet pastries and of course, world-renowned wines: saúde!
