Villa Miami is an architectural gem, protected under Portuguese Heritage. Villa Miami is considered one of the best examples of forward thinking modern design emerging 30 years ago in Portugal.
Villa Miami is a large welcoming family villa all on one level, so it's nice and easy for families with children and the older members of the family who may not like to deal with too many steps.
The exterior
Enjoy lazing on a sun lounger by the private, gated sunny swimming pool. The pool is a very generous 9.5 x 7m, maximum depth 1.65m, and can be heated (charges apply). Villa Miami is surrounded by mature gardens and has extensive paved terraces all across ground level over the landscaped garden and grassy areas off the bedrooms.
There is a terrace with an outdoor fixed charcoal BBQ and dining table perfect for alfresco evenings. A portable gas BBQ is also available. Note, there are some steps down to the pool area.
The living areas
Enjoy relaxing in the evening in the formal living room - or set up the games table and the three-ball table and enjoy challenging the family to some games in the parlour! There is a formal dining room to enjoy large family get-togethers and a small breakfast morning room off the kitchen where you can sip a quiet coffee in the morning. Or why not take your coffee into the little open air courtyard that is located here too?
The bedrooms
There are 4 bedrooms in the main villa - two double and two twin rooms with en-suite bathrooms. All rooms are fully reverse cycled air conditioned and are tastefully decorated with modern furnishings. There is an additional 5th bedroom with a sofa bed, located off the courtyard of the morning room and with independent access. This room is air conditioned.
In the rear wing of Villa Miami are three spacious bedrooms with direct access to the grassy lawns. At the other end of the villa are two further bedrooms. The 4th bedroom is off the morning room off the kitchen and has its own en-suite bathroom.
The 5th bedroom is located off the morning room near the kitchen and it is accessed by an internal courtyard. The 5th bedroom also has independent access from the main entrance of the villa. This bedroom has its own en-suite shower room.
About the area
The villa is very conveniently located mid of the fairway of the 18th of the Vale do Lobo Royal Golf Course. So nice and easy to just walk along the 18th to the Clubhouse and commence your game.
In the Praca there are numerous restaurants and bars – open all day and late into the evening. There is free live entertainment from May to September. Monty’s Bar and Restaurant is open all year round with evening entertainment. Enjoy watching the sunset over the beach & ocean from Breeze bar or Sandbanks both serving cocktails and international cuisine. There is also Free WIFI available in the praca.
The walk to the beach and praca from Villa Miami takes about 2 minutes walking along the footpaths through the resort. It is an easy stroll, suitable for all ages and buggies. It is only a 10 minute walk from the villa to the medical centre and mini-market on the main entrance roundabout or a 5 minute walk to a cash machine, post office, newsagent, bank, hair dresser, spa, cafes etc. in Parque do Golfe.
It is just a 10 minute walk to the newly opened Paixa restaurant / wine bar on the Jardins Do Golfe development. Open from lunch through late evening, Paixa has a tapas menu, al a carte menu and serves delicious cocktails. It boasts a fabulous selection of wine displayed in a glass wine cellar. In winter there is an open log fire which makes this a wonderful restaurant to relax and enjoy our lovely mild winters here.
If tennis is your game, you will be impressed with the facilities of the’Tennis In Portugal' tennis centre in Quadradinhas, Jardins Do Golfe, just a short walk from the villa. There are 3 new synthetic all weather tennis courts and a practice court in Jardins do Golfe. Tennis instructors Mark & Maria are available on-site all year round. There is also an onsite snack bar.

Vale do Lobo is located on the beach area known as ‘Praia Vale do Lobo’, considered to be one of the finest beaches in the Algarve. From Vale do Lobo you can walk in an easterly direction to both "Praia do Ancao" and "Praia do Garrao" through the Parque Natural da Ria Formosa which is a heritage protected area of lagoons and wet areas that support the local wildlife population.
