Villa holiday rentals in Marinha Beach

This is the most beautiful house, in one of the few remaining unspoilt parts of the Algarve coast. It is very well-equipped and there are lovely walks, both in the countryside behind and along the cliffs. A very pretty, and not very populated, beach is a five-minute walk and a slight scramble down a cliff path away. Cecilia is incredibly friendly and helpful. Highly recommended.

absolutely stunning villa! The location was great, very private and only a 4 minute drive into the town via very cheap ubers and taxis. The hosts were very welcoming and gave great insight. Huge pool! Great facilities and modern kitchen/ furnishings. Comfy bedrooms and bathrooms had a wonderful shower. Pool cleaner came twice a week and the garden grounds were gorgeous. The perfect base for your trip, only wished we had stayed longer!

Our stay at this villa was fantastic! The new outdoor kitchen was amazing, and the heated pool made it extra special. The Arkeo team went above and beyond, even installing a fence to keep our small child safe from the stairs. The location is perfect, and the elevator was incredibly convenient for our luggage. One thing that really stood out is how much better the villa feels in person—it’s elegant and understated in the photos, but the space, design, and atmosphere are even more impressive when you’re actually there. Although our stay was too short, we can’t wait to come back for a longer visit. Highly recommend this villa for a luxurious stay in Quinta do Lago!

Beautiful place in a lovely area. The house looks just like the pictures if not better. It’s very functional and everything you might need is there. It’s located close to the beautiful beach. Everyone was very helpful and I would definitely recommend this place and stay there again . Thank you!

We have just spent 5 days at Paul’s Villa as Grandparents,Daughter, Son-in-law and baby. It was a perfect place with plenty of open plan area. Air Conditioned bedrooms opening out onto the patio which is really nice. Immaculately clean throughout & everything you could possibly require in the kitchen. Outside the Pool is awesome,a fabulous size & clean as a whistle! We opted for pool heating for the baby & really enjoyed that luxury ourselves! Plenty of comfortable seating, shaded areas & sun umbrellas.We made use of the bbq most nights. We ate out twice at the Lighthouse Restaurant a few mins walk a from the Villa which Paul booked for us. Such a nice restaurant, fab food, service & beautiful view. Paul is very friendly, chatty & keen to help with anything you should require. Living across from the Villa he is on hand should you need him

Cadre d’exception , maison de qualité avec des hôtes aux petits oignons ( expression française 😂 ! ) Nous avons la chance de ne pas avoir a partagé les installations car nous étions quasiment seuls sur les lieux : Hammam, Jacuzzi, Massage , piscine , Sauna 😍 La Villa est isolée du reste de la ville mais attention ⚠️ il y a 2 ou 3 lodges supplémentaires . En tout cas Mitchel et Selina sont réellement formidables, répondent rapidement aux questionnements du groupe, s’adaptent très rapidement également et sont souriants et pleins de petites attentions agréables : petit déjeuné à plusieurs reprises, bières de bienvenue etc … Merci encore à eux Et j’ai hâte de revenir dans quelques années pour voir les améliorations qui ont été apporté à ce petit coin de paradis 🥰

Heerlijk huis voor een tijdelijk ‘thuis’. Het voelt niet als een vakantiehuis maar als een ‘vakantie-thuis’. Ruim, van alle gemakken voorzien en een geweldig uitzicht. Veel aandacht voor details.

This was a truly fantastic villa, just what we (as a couple) were looking for (difficult to find good size villas for two persons); but could comfortably accommodate at least 4. Everything was as described; and Catia responded promptly to questions, etc. The villa is in a great location, less than 5 minutes walk from many restaurants (Sao Domingos is especially good) and other local amenities - Aldi is less than 5 minutes walk; a small Apolonia (think Waitrose Express) about 15-20 minutes walk (less than 5 by car); and a large Continente (Tesco/Sainsbury's) about 10 - 15 minutes drive (in the Algarve Shopping Mall). Praia da Gale is also 15-20 minutes walk (5 by car), with Restaurant Praia da Gale also recommended. It is beautiful inside, with plenty of kitchen equipment; and beautifully furnished and finished. Very easy to find as on the main road through the town. All in all, a fabulous place; and we will certainly look to book again when looking to stay in Gale.

Gorgeous beach just a little walk away. Town is very nice w beach bars etc. house has awesome views. Views when in pool are not good due to wall. Suggest to maybe put up acrylic wall? Host was super responsive. We loved our stay at this very large house!

Superbe maison à 5 min en voiture d'une très belle plage. La piscine est chauffée mais nous avons plus profité du jacuzzi et du feu de cheminée normal au mois de novembre. Nous avons pu mangé dehors le midi. l'environnement est très calme et la maison est spacieuse et très bien équipée. Merci encore à Izabel et Taylor pour leur accueil, leur cadeau de bienvenue et leur grande disponibilité.

Blue Hill Boutique and Antonio have been fantastic. The villa is first class and the photos are an exact likeness. It truly made for a luxury stay and we will absolutely book again. We are a family of 2 children, 2 adults and the villa is both private, peaceful and very secure. The layout of the villa is perfect with every bedroom opening up to the pool. Olhão harbour was a favourite for gelato when we could convince the children to have a break from the pool. Antonio’s hospitality is first class and nothing was too much trouble and appreciated, especially the welcome bottle of rose

We had a great stay, the villa was well positioned, spacious, very clean and perfect for a multi-generation family break. Communication with host was excellent. We had a great stay at the villa and look forward to visiting again soon.

Absolutely perfect stay — 10/10! This was the ideal place for a visit to the Algarve. Rosa was hands down the best host I’ve ever had on Airbnb. From the moment I booked, she went above and beyond. Before I even arrived, she sent a detailed guide with everything I needed to know about the property, plus amazing recommendations for local restaurants, sights, and hidden gems. The home itself was spotless, comfortable, and had everything I needed for a fantastic stay. I truly couldn’t recommend this place more — I’ll definitely be coming back!

What a fantastic property and location. We had high expectations from the photos and price, but they were met and more. Modern with all of the amenities: cooking essentials, beach gear / toys, towels, beers if you're lucky the previous guest didn't finish them! Wendy and Manel are very responsive (when asked - not interfering!) and I am so glad they have shared their home with us for a week. We've walked the coastal path on past visits and wondered what it would be like to live in one of the villas right next to it... Now we know and want to do it again!

If you're looking for a place to stay near Praia da Arrifana, book Lyn's beautiful home - you won't regret it! We were there during a major storm, and even with poor weather we had an absolutely wonderful time. The house is very spacious and comfortably decorated, with an extremely well-equipped kitchen for cooking (a huge plus for us). The house is walking distance from the beach and the Rota Vicentina hiking trails, and there's a good supermarket just a few minutes away by car. Lyn and Mariana were very easy to communicate with and helpful...we'd love to go back some time!

We stayed at this property for three nights with my children and parents, and it was perfection. Everything was brand new and top quality. You could tell there was a lot of attention to detail when designing / refurbishing the space. Stefanie was super-responsive and it was a breeze getting in and checking-out. We hope to stay there again when it warms up so we can use the breathtaking pool area. 10/10.

Gorgeous villa, Everything was well thought out and there was everything you could have possibly needed . Stunning entrance and views huge pool, loads of seating areas. This place is not to be missed . 5 mins taxi to new or old town or marina, 30 mins to vilamoura. A very special place indeed

Excellent villa with an excellent host! would use the villa and Kinga again in the future. Thank you Kinga for the warm welcome and the unexpected welcome pack with groceries. Very easy to communicate with when needed! Thank you again. The Stewart

Das Haus ist sehr schön. Steht im Neubau Gebiet( es werden noch einige Hauser gebaut). Wir wurden von Maria herzlich begrüßt. Sie hat uns alles erklärt und gezeigt. Hat uns auch viele tolle Tipps gegeben. Restaurants, Sehenswürdigkeiten etc. Sie war auch immer für uns erreichbar. Auch Salz, Pfeffer und Öl waren vor Ort( nicht wie manche es geschrieben haben). Wir waren zu 8 im Haus( Erwachsene) hatten genug Besteck und Geschirr. Waschmaschine wurde auch benutzt:-) Mit Shampoo und Seife war jedes Bad ausgestattet. Uns hat es gut gefallen. Vielen Dank.

Returning to this luxury property feels like coming home. The hosts and Laura, go above and beyond to ensure each stay surpasses the last. Their attention to detail, proactive communication, and warm hospitality make every visit exceptional. I'm grateful for the consistency and quality of care they provide and look forward to many more stays. Highly recommended for those seeking a truly attentive and luxurious experience. Thanks again for another perfect visit!

This was the best Airbnb we have stayed in for over 10yrs. From day 1 we felt at home and wanted to book to stay here again. It's location was perfect for us, as we have friends close by but it was also very peaceful without being remote from local facilities. The kitchen was well equipped, the garden and pool maintained weekly to keep it all in tip top condition. It was a very relaxing home and we can't wait to return.

We loved our stay at sound of the sea villa! It was so relaxing and it was always hard to leave the tranquil setting (which was a good problem to have). The pool was beautiful and warm and it was so private, but close to beautiful beaches. The house itself is well appointed and had everything you could need to cook great meals, grill, sleep well, and feel at home. We all loved having the gym as part of our vacation. The area is so beautiful, with nature all around, but still a quick drive to town or accessible to all of the algarves-40 mins to Lagos, 1 hour to Sagres, 1 hour to Lagoa, etc a. The location is also a prime spot for surfing. We would highly recommend to a family or two that are visiting the area.

If you are looking for a beautiful location to unplug and relax, look no further than Bernardo & Laura’s place. The photos don’t do justice to the breathtaking views. Their place is in a very peaceful and quiet spot in the mountains; while still being only about 35 minutes from the amazing beaches of the Algarve. We were a group of 6 people, including 2 young kids, and we always felt very comfortable in the spacious accommodations. Laura was super responsive and helpful in all of our communications and was able to accommodate an early check-in, which we appreciated after a long flight. We would definitely recommend this home.

We’ve just returned from a week at this amazing villa. It’s perfect for a family break and we’ve already looked at booking it again next year. Our little girl loved the poole and there were plenty of floating toys left by previous guests as well as the ones we left ourselves. If you’re going shopping for food the supermarket continenta about 15 mins away is great whilst the nearby aldi has little choice and empty shelves. There is an Italian pizzeria at the bottom of the road which is very nice but a little bit expensive. The chopping boards are in the draw near the sink, it took us a few days to find them. This was our first villa holiday and I won’t go back to a package holiday after this. The hosts were helpful and polite throughout. There is a mention of a nearby building site and noise but you can barely hear them.
