The traditional fishing village of Salema has been highlighted as one of the best destinations for enjoying a serene, secluded break in the Algarve this summer.
Tucked away towards the western end of the southern Portuguese region, Salema is just a few kilometres from the picturesque city of Lagos and from Sagres, continental Europe’s most southwestern point.
Salema’s long, curved stretch of sandy beach, traditional whitewashed homes and cluster of family-run restaurants typify the appeal of the Algarve. The added attraction is that Salema exudes an air of quiet escape, even in the height of summer.
“As a popular tourist destination, the Algarve can be busy over the summer months, but Salema balances that with a serenity all of its own. The village feels like a peaceful, protected pocket of Portugal, yet it’s only a little over an hour from Faro airport. It’s secluded but connected.”
Alda Filipe, Real Estate Director of Kronos Homes, in charge of property sales at Salema Beach Village
With the sparkling ocean on one side and greenery all around, Salema encapsulates the sun-kissed serenity and laidback vibes for which the Algarve is so well known. For those seeking a second home in the Algarve, the laidback Salema Beach Village is the ideal spot.
Nestled on a hillside that slopes down towards the beach just 500 metres away, the stunning two- and three-bedroom villas are centred around a scenic swimming pool that’s perfect for enjoying long, lazy days with the family.
The Mediterranean-inspired villas combine contemporary, light-filled interiors with generous balconies and terraces with plenty of room for relaxation and al fresco dining. Some of the 114 three-storey homes overlook the ocean while others provide views of the untamed natural greenery that surrounds Salema. Large windows ensure the homes are flooded with natural light.
In addition to the swimming pool and its separate children’s pool, Salema Beach Village is home to two padel courts, an outdoor gym and a welcoming pool snack bar, balancing health, relaxation and convenience for family members of all ages. A 24-hour security service is provided for total peace of mind, while bicycle rental is available for families wishing to explore the Algarve on two wheels.
The local area provides plenty for families to enjoy. The enchanting Santo António golf course is next to Salema, with exciting, uneven terrain that crosses ravines of eucalyptus trees and picturesque streams, while locals also have the spectacular surroundings of the Costa Vicentina Natural Park on their doorstep. Nearby beaches, meanwhile, are home to a wealth of water-based activities, including surfing, sailing, snorkelling, kitesurfing and more.
Villas at Salema Beach Village are available as permanent residences and second homes. Prices start from EUR 340,000. All villas are sold fully furnished and equipped.
