Salgados Beach and Nature Reserve

A great all year round beach. Lovely golden sand, great gentle waves and you can even swim in December with the warm currents.

The beach, which stretches for miles, is situated in front of a nature reserve where migrating flamingos can be seen in the spring as well as a multitude of other wildlife.

The beautiful local beaches are within a 5 minute drive, or alternatively for those who prefer gentle exercise, it’s an approximate 30 minute walk.

You can take an evening stroll along the beach to restaurants round the bay. Further around the coast in Vale de Parra there are more secluded coves and beaches.

Salgados Golf Course

Situated neatly within the protected reserve, Salgados Golf course will delight beginners and experienced golfers alike. The course offers a driving range, putting green, chipping green & bunker area, shop, restaurant & bar, as well as 18 picturesque holes, while co-existing with endangered bird species.

Restaurants and Shopping

The cost of living is still among the cheapest in Western Europe and the local wine is delicious. Coffee lovers can be satisfied for pocket change!

A short walk from the villa, the no-fuss Prima Pasta won’t disappoint, and is often a family favourite. Museau dos Salgados is a slightly more intimate affair, and also worth a visit.

★★★★★—Super value Villa

The villa was very clean and well equipped. There was lots of space inside although we spend most of the time sitting around the large table outside next to the bbq’s and pizza oven. The pool was a good size and we paid the extra so the pool was heated given we had grandchildren who were never out of the pool. Highly recommend.

Date of stay: June 2024
