The ground floor living space is open plan and spacious, uniformly decorated in pristine white with silvery grey, oversized floor tiles and distinctive pieces of furniture, carefully placed so as not to detract from the minimalist vibe.

The fully fitted kitchen is sleek and discreet, with handless cabinetry and gleaming granite worktops. A traditional eight-seater dining table and chairs offers a more formal area for meals, however sliding glass doors lead out from here to a wonderfully relaxing outdoor dining terrace where it’s a safe bet that most guests will choose to chill over a leisurely meal alfresco.

Three of the villa’s sophisticated bedrooms are located on the ground floor, including one with a king size bed and two with twin beds, all supplied with bathrobes and slippers. Two of the rooms boast patio doors leading to outdoor terraces and there are two en suites and a separate bathroom. Each of these is finished to the highest standard, with walk-in showers, stylish, polished concrete wash stands and varying shades of mosaic tiles, a nod to the region’s Moorish influence.

The stunning master suite occupies the entire first floor, chic and tranquil with large glass doors opening onto a private terrace with gorgeous views across the pool area and out towards Albufeira\’s marina. A walk-through wardrobe keeps belongings unseen to maintain the clutter-free ambience while the large en suite offers both a walk-in shower and a curvy free-standing bath tub. Matching the style of the other shower rooms, contemporary twin basins sit on a polished concrete stand while the feature walls shimmer with iridescent mosaics in shades of amethyst, gold and sapphire blue.
