Once you have bought your luxury villa in the elegant development at Reserva da Luz near Lagos, you will be astounded by the natural beauty of the Western Algarve which surrounds you. The unspoilt, traditional countryside of rolling hills and pine forests gives way to the drama of the wild, rugged coast.

The location of the superior quality Reserva da Luz villa development enjoys all that is spectacular about the Western Algarve – sheer cliffs, secluded coves, and miles of empty, golden beaches. Reserva da Luz, one of the most sought-after villa developments in the Western Algarve, offers an exquisite home tucked away in a stunning corner of Europe.

From your private villa, you have easy access to several delightful Algarve towns and villages. Portimão is an enchanting Portuguese fishing town retaining its traditional charm, even down to the typical mosaic-adorned fountain in the pretty main square. Abundant restaurants serve delicious local dishes and many people visit Portimão for its elegant shopping streets.

From Portimão it's easy to reach the two superb golf courses of Penina and Palmares, and the outstanding Ria de Alvor nature reserve, which is a paradise for bird-watchers.

Also popular in the Western Algarve is Lagos, the centuries-old fortress town with a fascinating history dating back to the Carthaginians and Phoenicians. The old town of Lagos, tucked away behind its imposing Moorish walls, is full of quaint, winding alleyways and sunny squares.

But don't be fooled into thinking Lagos is sleepy and old-fashioned – there is a modern, dynamic side to the town, shown by its excellent shopping centres, buzzing nightlife and the superb, modern marina which welcomes yachts from all over the world.

If you do want to slow the pace down a little, head for Praia da Luz, one of the prettiest resort villages along this coastal belt. Praia da Luz is a super family destination, with its gently shelving beach, warm, clear waters, and great choice of restaurants – one of which is housed in a 17 th century fort.

If Praia da Luz has exchanged part of its fishing heritage for tourism, Burgau has not – it is still a quintessentially traditional fishing village. Its narrow, cobbled streets wind down through traditional whitewashed houses to the stunning beach, set in a sheltered sandy cove.

On the south western extremity of the Algarve you will find Sagres and Cape St Vincent. Sagres is sometimes known as “the end of the world”, and it can feel like that! The town sits precariously on top of towering cliffs, setting its face to the Atlantic. Amazingly, fishermen sit on rocks at dizzying heights in the sheer cliff face, and haul their catch up from the sea.

It's worth making the trip to stand on the cliffs by the lighthouse at Cape Saint Vincent, to take in the breathtaking views as the Atlantic rollers pound the coast beneath you.
