Villa con 4 Letti Esposta a Sud, Piscina a Sfioro, Atalaia Lagos

Late afternoon in Atalaia. The blinds have tilted themselves against the low sun, the sauna is warming up, and the only sound is water spilling over the edge of the pool into the garden. Upstairs, from the guest terrace, there is a line of sea on the horizon.

Villa Aqua sits behind an electric gate at the end of a long private driveway, on a professionally landscaped 1,800 m² plot. Inside are 286 m² of usable space (351 m² gross) over three levels, with four ensuite bedrooms, two guest WCs and an A energy rating.

The living spaces. Floor-to-ceiling glazing and floor-flush aluminium sliding doors in a Champagne finish fold the lounge straight onto the south-facing terrace, so on a warm evening there is no real line between inside and out. The ceilings are high, a statement fireplace anchors the room for winter, and hydraulic underfloor heating keeps the floors warm underfoot from November to March. The Bauformat German kitchen is built for people who cook: Siemens integrated appliances, an induction hob with built-in extraction, a wine fridge, a Quooker tap for instant boiling and chilled water, and Silestone Gold worktops that stay cool to the touch. A separate utility room keeps the washing machine, dryer and laundry out of sight.

The suites. The primary suite has its own private position on the upper floor, with bespoke parquet underfoot, two handmade walk-in wardrobes and an ensuite with a standalone bath, rainfall shower, dual sinks and copper-accented fittings. A separate staircase leads to the guest suite, which has its own ensuite and a private terrace with elevated sea views, so visiting family can come and go on their own schedule. Two more ensuite bedrooms sit on the ground floor, each with handmade wardrobes and large windows onto the garden.

Outside. The infinity-style waterfall pool has an integrated jacuzzi, and the private sauna looks out over the gardens, with an outdoor shower close by. An outdoor kitchen with gas BBQ, sink and wine fridge sits next to covered dining and lounge areas. Mature palms, sculpted planting, winding paths and a private putting green fill the rest of the plot, and ambient lighting carries it all into the evening.

The lower ground floor. A flexible room that suits a games room, home office, extra guest bedroom, wine cellar or cinema, plus storage and the plant room.

The area. Boavista Golf & Spa is 1.4 km away. The beaches of Praia do Pinhão, Dona Ana and Porto de Mós are all within about ten minutes by car, and Lagos Marina and the old town walls are 4.2 km down the road, close enough for dinner in town without the noise coming home with you. Faro Airport is about an hour’s drive.
