Private Seafront Sanctuary in the Heart of Ria Formosa, Portugal

An exclusive seafront villa set within four hectares of private gardens and grounds in the heart of the Ria Formosa Natural Park, offering breathtaking panoramic views across the Atlantic. Located in the Algarve, one of Europe’s most privileged destinations with over 300 days of sunshine each year, the estate provides an exceptional setting for relaxation, privacy, and connection with nature.

Nestled within the unspoiled landscape of Tavira’s Ria Formosa, the villa is a refined sanctuary where understated luxury and natural beauty exist in perfect harmony. Designed for discerning guests seeking complete privacy, bespoke service, and unforgettable experiences, the property combines exceptional comfort with culinary excellence, led by a dedicated private chef.

Whether for a family holiday, gathering with friends, wellness retreat, executive escape, or an intimate celebration by the sea, the villa offers an idyllic and exclusive setting.

Every aspect of the estate has been conceived as a place of restoration and wellbeing. Fragrant private gardens invite moments of stillness and reflection, while the beautifully landscaped grounds surrounding the villa encourage guests to reconnect with nature, the sea, and a profound sense of serenity.

Guests can begin each day with a gentle walk through the estate to the water’s edge, launching a kayak and paddling across the calm lagoon toward the nearby deserted island. There, an endless expanse of pristine white sand awaits, inviting long walks along the shoreline as the tide softly laps at your feet. Framed only by the vast Atlantic horizon, these moments offer a rare sense of tranquillity and timeless beauty.

Waterfront location: When you feel like a dip in the ocean, the villa’s private boat will take you from the pier to a seemingly never-ending, untouched and secluded desert beach.

Swimming pools: The villa features two heated swimming pools, surrounded by gardens, both with sweeping views over the blue waters of the lagoon.

The east-wing swimming pool is a place to gather and celebrate. A seafront terrace with sun lounges, little tables, and parasols creates a bright, joyful atmosphere. Family-friendly and perfect for sun-filled gatherings or elegant cocktail evenings, it welcomes the energy of togetherness.

West-Wing Pool – A Quiet Refuge: The west-wing pool is your place to unwind and slow down. Just 1 metre deep, it offers a calmer, more intimate environment. With sun lounges and parasols and surrounded by lush gardens, this pool is ideal for peaceful moments, reading, or gentle floating.

Six suites: All six suites are south facing and have sweeping views over the lagoon and the sea and have en-suite bathrooms. For up to 12 guests.

Private chef: The private chef brings to the table Mediterranean cuisine that reflects the land and the sea of the Algarve: fresh caught fish, garden herbs, sun-ripened fruit, paired with thoughtful service.  The chef provides a delightful exclusive gastronomic experience, sourcing the best Portuguese flavors. Meals with healthy options are carefully prepared and cooked using locally sourced quality ingredients through a working relationship with the local fishermen and farmers.
