Villa Obelia Portugal

Villa Obelia is a magnificent waterfront villa situated just a short 100m stroll from the beach. The villa’s proximity to the ocean means relaxing with a cold beverage while watching the glistening ocean waves is undoubtedly on the menu at this stunning Algarve retreat.
The breezy and tiled living space on the ground floor is cool and inviting, perfect for a cosy night in watching a movie or relaxing with a glass of wine. A large sliding door opens straight out to an alfresco dining area and barbecue.
Outside you’ll find deckchairs for lounging on around the large private pool. A perfect place to play cards, soak up the sun and read a good book. The kitchen is fully equipped with everything you’ll need, so you really can make yourself at home and fill up the fridge with goodies for cooking up a storm.
The villa can comfortably accommodate up to twelve guests across five bedrooms. The first bedroom is a master suite with a double bed and en-suite bathroom. Two bedrooms have double beds while two rooms have twin beds, a further two beds are available on a request basis at the time of booking. There are two family bathrooms with bright tiles and a bathtub and shower in each.
You’ll have plenty of cultural things to do if you fancy a change from sunbathing and swimming. The closest town of Albufeira is 6km away, and you’ll find something for the whole group: The night owls can explore the bustling nightlife with bars and live music every night or the culture vultures can meander through the town and admire the eclectic Portuguese Algarvean architecture. The area is dotted with historical landmarks like countless 18th-century churches.
As for the region’s cuisine, the local speciality is called Cataplana, a mixture of crispy seafood, shellfish and steamed fish. You can try this at a selection of restaurants located just 100 metres away from the villa. Or, if you want to cook at home and make use of the villa’s barbecue and terraced outdoor dining area, you’ll find supermarkets an easy 1km away from the house.Within 200 metres of the villa you have the stunning beach and lovely eateries, but if you fancy exploring the full area, you’ll find something for everyone.
For golf fans, the renowned Balaia Golf Course is just a few km away from the house; or for shopping and a bit more hustle and bustle the closest town of Albufeira (6km) is known for its Moorish heritage and busy nightlife. The Town has certainly expanded from its days as a small fishing port but remains historically fascinating, with the ruins of a fortress and a high cliff overlooking the beach.
This balance of heritage and modernity gives it a fun and exciting atmosphere. Because Albufeira is located 40 km west of Faro and 50 km east of Lagos it is very popular with Portuguese holidaymakers, so you can mingle with the locals.
15 km from Villa Obelia you will find Vilamoura which genuinely is a Town that caters for all: water sports fans, golfing pros, nature lovers and seasoned travellers. There are plenty of things to do: relax on the beaches, practice your favourite water sport, play the five golf courses close to the city, or learn something new with a historical tour.
