About the area

Located in the vibey beachfront town of Quarteira - which is equidistant from Vale do Lobo & Vilamoura. For ideas and tips, head to our 'Exploring Quarteira' guide.

The penthouse has the beach directly in front of the property. The location is great for people who enjoy walking and not relying on a car, as numerous facilities are within walking distance making it a super easy beach holiday.

Oceanside Penthouse is arguably the best-located property for amazing views all the way up & down the coast and out to sea – you can even watch all the fishing boats head out to catch the fish that will shortly be for sale in the local fish market.

The penthouse is on the 4th floor and boasts 180-degree views of the ocean & beach from all the bedrooms & kitchen. All bedrooms have direct access to the balconies overlooking the beach & ocean.

Quarteira town caters to tourism & local population alike and boasts hundreds of restaurants, cafes, bars, boutique shops, pharmacies, beauty salons & massage and Intermarche supermarket. All of these are within walking distance. The best pastry shop in Quarteira, Beira Mar is just below the apartment. For the more adventurous, it is very easy walking distance to both Vilamoura and Vale do Lobo which has even more choices of great restaurants & facilities.

There are rental agencies in Quarteira where you can also hire bikes, paddle boards, canoes & scooters so you can explore more of the area if you want. In summer, there is also a little tourist train that takes you around the area and onwards to Vilamoura. On Wednesday the train also drops off at the gypsy market. There is also a daily fish & fruit market on the seafront. Also on Wednesday, there is a very large general market of locally produced fruit & vegetables and other interesting items including chickens & rabbits just a minute’s walk from the penthouse.

The long white sandy beach is perfect for lazing the day away - you can hire sunbeds & parasol for approx. €12 a day. Alternatively, you can set out your own umbrella and towels on the beach, take a picnic and relax for the day. The beach has lifeguards from June to the end of September.

If the sea is your thing - numerous boat tours depart from Vilamoura marina. If you fancy making a splash, make sure you visit Aquashow on the outskirts of Quarteira – the best water park in the Algarve!

You will find plenty of nightlife and in the summer many places have free music & entertainment. Look out for free exercise classes held in the plaza or just people-watch. Playing petanque, beach volleyball & football in the park & playing chess in the plaza are all popular pastimes. As well as strolling along (or just sitting and watching the world wander by) on the well maintained & easily accessible promenade.

For children there are several parks with play areas surrounded by parkland & cafes – mum & dad can relax while the kids make new friends and maybe even pick up a bit of the Portuguese!
