The Clifftopin Salema, Algarve, Portugal

Perched on a clifftop overlooking the Atlantic, this exceptional villa captures the spirit of the Algarve with its graceful mix of traditional Portuguese character and modern sophistication. Blending rustic materials with contemporary comfort, the home offers understated luxury across expansive interiors and more than 6,000 square meters of landscaped gardens.

The property’s thoughtful design flows across two levels, where farmhouse warmth meets coastal elegance. Heated terracotta floors, rustic wood beams, and floor-to-ceiling patio doors create a seamless transition between indoor and outdoor living. Spacious lounges, dining areas, and covered terraces provide numerous settings for entertaining, dining, or simply soaking in the magnificent ocean views.

Five beautifully appointed bedrooms, each with an en suite bathroom, feature handcrafted Portuguese tilework and elegant furnishings that balance tradition and style. Two principal suites share terraces with panoramic views of the gardens, pool, and sea, while a private annex suite across the courtyard offers added seclusion for guests.

Outdoors, manicured lawns, shaded patios, and multiple dining areas invite quiet reflection or lively gatherings beneath the Algarve sun. A farmhouse-style kitchen with a cozy breakfast nook anchors the home’s welcoming atmosphere, while the upper floor’s vaulted ceilings and open plan living areas offer a refined yet relaxed ambiance.

Located in a tranquil residential area in Burgau, known as the “Gateway to the Costa Vicentina,” this villa offers proximity to pristine beaches, hiking trails, and surf spots, along with the authentic charm of a traditional fishing village. Just a short drive from Lagos Old Town, guests can explore boutique shops, enjoy fresh seafood, or set out on coastal adventures.

A haven of privacy and natural beauty, this property is ideal for families, friends, or anyone seeking an elegant coastal retreat where the Algarve’s landscape, culture, and serenity come together in perfect harmony.
