Outside
Large balconies along two sides of the apartment to appreciate the fabulous views of the Marina and the old town beyond. A great place for relaxing with a cool drink and watching the comings and goings of the yachts and boats below, people watching, or just watching the sun go down.
The large outdoor swimming pool at the 4 star Marina Club Hotel situated across the gardens is available to our guests free of charge.
Coast/Beach
From Meia Praia the 5km long open sandy beach that stretches from Lagos Marina to the Alvor Estuary, to the secluded unspoilt beaches of the West Coast. Grottos and coves, miles of cliff top coastal walks, from surf dudes and kite surfers to the skinny dippers and nudists, there are beaches to cater for everyone. Many within easy walking distance and those worth travelling further afield to explore. Either family friendly or Robinson Crusoe style some of the best beaches in Europe!
Golf
The Western Algarve boasts some of Europe's most spectacular golf courses.
Pines, almond,fig, palm and olive trees line the rolling fairways with breathtaking views and spectacular scenery against the backdrop of the clear Atlantic Ocean.
There are a number of top class golf courses within easy reach of Lagos within 5 -15 min drive. Palmares, Boavista, Parque De Floresta to name a few.
Travel
Faro airport is 75km from Lagos, approx 45 min drive by motorway.
Taxi and coach transfers are available from the airport to Lagos.
Regular trains are also available from Faro itself to Lagos with the train station being located directly behind the Marina and within walking distance of the apartment.
Car hire is therefore not necessary as everything is within easy walking distance once you have arrived although a car would provide the opportunity to explore further afield if wished.
Further details
The Algarve promises a fantastic climate and year round sunshine, and as a working fishing town Lagos has something going on all year round. The historic old town with its warren of twisted cobbled streets contrasts its sophisticated restaurants with small local eating places tucked in the back of beyond. Jazz clubs, night clubs, bars, cafes, shops and boutiques all blend with the mixture of historical buildings and Moorish architecture. The streets become alive in the evenings with buskers and entertainers. Lagos has an abundance of restaurants to suit all tastes and budgets. Fish and shellfish are popular with fish cataplanas and grilled sardines being firm favourites. Chicken piri piri is another local dish not to be missed. You'd actually struggle to find a bad restaurant here! The local wines and liqueurs are excellent, a great way to relax at the end of the day! Be it sailing, power boating, surfing, kite surfing, walking, cycling, riding, golf or just a fantastic chilled out beach location. Lagos has it all. The nearby Marina Club has a gym, luxury spa and indoor plunge pool and for a local charge guests can take advantage of these facilities, or the recently opened municipal sports centre is a few minutes walk away and has a competition sized indoor pool and large state of the art gym, classes are also available daily. Many excursions can be booked on the Marina itself i.e sailing, power boating, boat charters, dolphin safaris, big game fishing, and grotto trips. And to keep the children entertained there are also two water parks in the area, the Zoomarine where you can swim with the dolphins and Lagos Zoo with over 120 species of animals all living in their natural habitats. For drives further afield the Monchique mountains and its spa town are well worth a visit, and the stunning coastline and numerous beaches and fishing villages along the west coast all the way to Sagres with its imposing fortress. Once thought to be "the end of the world!".

Guest comments
Thanks for another fantastic New Year in your beautiful apartment, so convenient for beaches, town and restaurants. The view from the balcony is amazing, just made for drinking the local wine in the sunshine. Can't wait to go back. Bryan & Elsie, Dumfriesshire.
Great apartment, fantastic views of the Marina. Ideal location, just a stroll to the beach and into Lagos. This will be our 5th year going to this apartment, that's how much we enjoy it. Stewart & Hazel, Cumbria.
We had a great holiday, apartment fantastic and service on arrival was good, my son and his friend both 17 also had a fantastic time, especially the nightlife! Carol & Martin, Suffolk.
I proposed to Katie within 5 mins of being in the apartment, it was the perfect setting! Spoilt with loads of brilliant restaurants. Each night finished off with a G&T back at apartment sat on balcony overlooking the Marina dreaming of owning our own big boat one day and sailing the seas! We will be back in touch for sure! Damian
Owner profile
About the owner
We live in Scotland where the weather is not known to be great! So love every chance to escape to warmer climes. We love Portugal and the Portuguese people and have made many friends on our visits to Lagos which we now treat as a second home. We work for ourselves building our own designed properties locally and more recently have enjoyed the challenge of building our villa here in Portugal. We love exploring Europe and finding new places, traveling in our motor-home and spending as much time as possible in Lagos. I'd say we work hard and play hard...we both enjoy our outdoor sports, skiing, walking, cycling, horse riding and more recently power boating and sailing (since coming to Lagos).
Year purchased: 2003
Why the owner chose an apartment in this location
Working for yourself and from home often means long hours with not a lot of chill out time. We wanted somewhere we could enjoy time and time again within easy reach of the UK and Lagos fits that bill. Someone once told us that after your third visit you'll not want to leave.. and its true Lagos certainly gets under your skin! Being able to relax and take it easy, or be as energetic as you like....it's a place for everyone from couples to families or groups of friends. The location of our apartment couldn't be better, once we arrive there's everything we need and everything's within walking distance so we can just chill out and enjoy our break. There's no better feeling than sitting on our balcony with a glass of chilled wine watching the yachts berth below.
Unique benefits of the property
Our apartment offers one of the best views in the Marina, we wouldn't swap that for the world, the feeling you get on first arriving and opening those shutters still takes our breath away. The station is walking distance so a car is not really necessary, and supplies are easily picked up from the supermarket, only a 2 min walk away. Town is only a 10 minute stroll over the Marina footbridge and along the cobbled aveneda, and there's always space on the 5km long Meia Praia beach, again only a 10 minute walk.
