This brand-new stunning 6-bedroom villa is part of our luxurious LUX MARE collection, which comprises some of the most desirable holiday rental properties in the Western Algarve - offering unrivalled standards of service. LUX MARE is Latin for Light of the Sea and describes the reflection of sunlight off the ocean - of which there are breath-taking views. The villa was designed by acclaimed local architect Mario Martins and combines sustainable architecture with advanced technology in a stunning oceanside location. The high ceilings and panoramic windows give a feeling of light, space, and relaxation. Each room has been specially designed and decorated with comfort in mind, with heated floors, air-conditioning, and tempered glass windows. The walls of the villa are adorned with artworks by the renowned Spanish artist Luis Bujalance. (His works are also on display in the neighbouring villa (LUX MARE II) and the two villas contain the largest private collection of works by this artist.) High-speed Wi-Fi internet is available throughout the villa, and smart home technology means that you can adjust the temperature, lighting, and window blinds according to your liking at the touch of a button. Thanks to a state of the art sound system you can listen to your favourite music in any part of the villa and can even connect your smartphone to the entertainment system ... helping you to unwind after a long day of sightseeing!
