Luxury eco-friendly homes in the Western Algarve

 

A new day dawns. The early morning mist clears, revealing a beautiful green and ochre land. The wild flowers open to catch the sun. Here, guided by an ethos of harmonious, sustainable living, Elixir Group is creating an award-winning destination – AlmaVerde Village & Spa.

 

AlmaVerde Village & Spa Location

AlmaVerde village is situated on a 58 hectare rustic setting among mature oak, pine and carob trees at the gateway to the Costa Vicentina Natural Park. The site enjoys an elevated position with sweeping views over the surrounding countryside. To the North, the site overlooks the traditional village of Barão de São Miguel, and to the South, the Burgau valley and coastal hills. The beach at the picturesque fishing village of Burgau is just three minutes by car, while the historic port of Lagos, with its colourful markets, attractive marina and vibrant nightlife, is only ten minutes away.

 

At AlmaVerde, we are working to create a village and range of amenities to serve both as a residential community and as a holiday destination.

 

Villa Rentals

With easy access to the pristine golden beaches of the vast Costa Vicentina Natural Park, yet only 10 minutes’ drive from lively Lagos, AlmaVerde is ideally located for a relaxing get-away.

Set in award-winning, landscaped surroundings, each AlmaVerde villa is built, furnished and equipped to the highest standard, and includes its own private, heated swimming pool.


At the end of the long, tree-lined approach drive, the stylish new Reception Building provides a warm welcome to guests, as well as acting as the hub for information and activities on the resort. Within the Reception Building is a spacious, sprung-floored exercise Studio for group classes and activities, including yoga, tai chi and dance. The building also houses offices for real estate sales and villa management.

 

Maps and mountain bikes are available from Reception to help explore the AlmaVerde trail system as well as the tracks and back roads of the local area. Cycle over to the National Forest above Barão S. João or explore the dramatic cliffs and beaches of the nearby coastline.


You can also play tennis at the AlmaVerde Racquets Club. Built and maintained to the highest standard, the four floodlit synthetic grass courts will help you to enjoy your game with minimal stress on joints and ligaments. You can rent courts and equipment, book an individual coaching session, or join a group clinic.

 

Our day spa, Wellness at AlmaVerde, brings together a team of experienced therapists in relaxing surroundings where expert diagnosis is coupled with a range of life-enhancing therapies and treatments. From individual sessions to carefully devised and supervised week-long programmes, our specialists can pinpoint your specific requirements, suggesting the best course of action to optimise your energy levels and sense of well-being.


Whether your goal is to de-stress and relax, or re-energise and re-balance, Wellness at AlmaVerde is primed to guide you towards good health and personal problem resolution, helping you in your quest for enhanced quality of life.

 

Beaches nearby

The beaches in the Western Algarve are among the most beautiful and least crowded in Europe. Choose from among the many sheltered sandy coves along the South coast, or venture a little further afield to one of the more dramatic West coast beaches, open to the full force of the Atlantic swell.

 

Sports and Activities

There are a plethora of sports and activities in the Western Algarve to partake including a variety of water sports, fishing and horse riding.

 

Golf

The Algarve is one of Europe’s premier golf destinations, with over twenty courses west of Faro, including some of the top championship courses in Europe. All are within an hour’s drive from AlmaVerde. Warm playing conditions and immaculately manicured fairways and greens are the norm. In the Western Algarve there are five established courses - Alto Club, Boavista, Palmares, Parque da Floresta and Penina - with more under construction. The nearest course to AlmaVerde, Parque da Floresta, is only 3km away.

 

Although AlmaVerde does not have its own golf course, it is possible to purchase a lifetime Golf Title that gives you and your spouse the right to unlimited free golf on any one of over 55 courses in Portugal and Spain. The Golf Title also enables you to make bookings at preferred rates for your friends and family.
