Villa Gale Hibiscus

The villa

Imagine the garden gate of a truly exquisite villa opening directly onto Praia da Gale beach, imagine interesting furnishings sourced from around the world put in place by someone with an incredible eye for beauty and design, imagine rambling landscaped gardens and a dazzling swimming pool. You will find all of this at Villa Gale Hibiscus. It is an absolutely stunning villa in a perfect location, sleeping up to twelve guests in six bedrooms.

Praia da Gale is a hidden treasure 4km west of Albufeira. The dazzling Blue Flag beach is one of the longest and loveliest stretches of sand in the Algarve, and Villa Gale Hibiscus is just a few metres from the ocean. Such a perfect location!

The glorious swimming pool and terrace area are second to none. Hidden from the prying eyes of passers - by as it is raised from the beach, it is exquisite in its design and its furnishings. Pure luxury and indulgence greet you. There are shady nooks for a quiet read, sociable spaces for al fresco dining and wonderful loungers and a hammock to watch the world go by. The sunsets are breath - taking.

The open plan living and dining area is exquisite. Your eyes are drawn to the incredible décor - think batik textiles, hand - carved buddhas, artisan furnishings, sublime tiling, sumptuous sofas. It is just superb and very clever. This boho - chic, whitewashed villa feels so luxurious. The top - notch kitchen has everything you might desire. There is also a separate laundry room.

The villa offers four deluxe bedrooms all with extravagant décor. The master bedroom has an en - suite bathroom with bath and walk - closet. The remaining three have en - suites. All are heavenly. In addition, there is another smaller bedroom which is available for a supplement should you want extra guests to accompany you. It would be especially useful for an au pair or nanny. The sixth bedroom, located on the lower floor, features an en - suite bathroom accessible through the garden. Since it is not directly connected to the house, it is ideal for those seeking privacy.

The villa is very private and cocooned in its luxury from the outside world and nestled by the Salgodos lagoon and nature reserve. The reserve is a protected stretch of coastal wetlands which is home to a wide variety of water birds - herons, storks, ibis, spoonbills and more. You should walk the boardwalk and see the wildlife on show. Many fish and turtles can be found. You can also cycle in the reserve, so it is a great day out with children.

Praia da Gale beach stretches forever. From the west side, you can walk all the way to Praia de Armacao de Pera, passing through Praia dos Salgodos and Praia de Pera. There are many water sports such as jet ski and surfing and several beach bars and restaurants. The east side is more sheltered with its rock formations, caves and shallow water - perfect for families.

Albufeira and Guia are within easy reach with their many restaurants, shops and other entertainment. Albufeira is one of the busiest resorts in the Algarve - it has a lively and carefree atmosphere and owes its fame to the many bars and nightclubs. Full of white houses, winding streets, Tunel and Penaco beaches, tempting restaurants serving fresh seafood and cataplana the speciality of the region and water parks, it is a tourist’s paradise.
