A private beachfront sanctuary with an infinity pool, sea-view sauna, and Technogym

Leão Hous is a beautiful sea-view villa overlooking the sandy shores of Praia Maria Luisa in the Algarve. Located near the charming area of Olhos de Água, this private residence offers guests the chance to immerse themselves in the laid-back Mediterranean lifestyle.

Welcoming guests to the villa is the “Ocean Lens”, a striking piece by Portuguese artist Add Fuel, which perfectly frames the shimmering waters of the Atlantic. This unique entryway leads to the villa’s spacious first-floor terrace, which features comfortable sofa seating and a dining table that accommodates up to 10 people.

A pathway lined with perfectly manicured gardens leads guests down to the villa’s lower level. Here, a heated infinity pool provides an ideal spot for a refreshing dip before lazing on a sun lounger. At one end of the pool, a barbecue terrace adjacent to a sleek kitchen offers additional space for relaxed al fresco dining. At the other end, those seeking a rejuvenating wellness experience can enjoy a fully equipped Technogym and a sauna, both overlooking the pool and the sea beyond.

Lush lawns lead to a sun-soaked deck, perfect for evening drinks. Beyond this, a path winds directly down to the sandy shores below.

Inside, the living spaces are modern and sophisticated, featuring floor-to-ceiling windows that invite natural light and fresh breezes. The walls showcase a carefully curated private art collection, highlighting both local and international artists.

At the heart of the home lies a beautifully designed open-plan lounge and dining room, where plush, inviting seating beckons relaxation. The centrepiece is an elegant marble dining table, perfect for hosting sophisticated dinner parties. With meals crafted in the state-of-the-art kitchen, featuring top-of-the-line Gaggenau appliances, guests can savour exquisite culinary creations in a stylish, warm atmosphere.

Five well-appointed bedrooms are spread across the villa’s two floors. These include an impressive owner’s suite, a private retreat with two en-suite bathrooms and a luxurious walk-in wardrobe. All bedrooms boast en-suite facilities and access to sea-view terraces.

With its unbeatable location and high-end amenities, Leão Hous offers an idyllic base for a luxury villa holiday in Portugal.

About the area

Leão Hous is situated in the quaint town of Olhos de Água, just outside Albufeira in the Algarve. The villa is perched high above Praia Maria Luisa, providing direct beach access via a scenic path.

Once a peaceful fishing village, Olhos de Água has transformed into one of the Algarve’s most cherished coastal getaways while still preserving its traditional charm. Located halfway between the lively atmosphere of Albufeira and the stylish marinas of Vilamoura, it provides an ideal blend of local character and modern amenities.

Guests can enjoy paddleboarding in the shallow waters, exploring nearby freshwater springs, or taking a short drive to the “Golden Triangle” (Quinta do Lago and Vale do Lobo) for world-class golf and Michelin-starred dining.

Exceptional Service & Beautiful Villa

5/5

"It was a pleasure to work with the My Private Villas team. They were so responsive and helped me create an exceptional experience for my clients, a multigenerational family of 12. I look forward to working with them again soon! Villa Sorrento delivered an exceptional experience for my clients. The house manager anticipated every need, and the villa offered generous space and comfort for the whole family. It was an ideal base for time together on the Amalfi Coast.    "

Best Family Trip

5/5

"Just ended the most epic week celebrating my parents 50th anniversary in this gorgeous villa which has amazing facilities like a separate gym, a huge terrace with surreal views of the mountains and Bellagio, a gorgeous pool, and a ping pong table. This kept the kids happy which means it let us adults rest. The villa was kept super clean with the most helpful Terrence who made everyone of us feel at home. Terrence kept the kitchen stocked, and helped organised everything. Mauro, Michael and Elisabetta's breakfasts and dinners were fantastic and we really got to experience Italian hospitality. Chef Mauro's cooking class and Angela's yoga class were a family trip highlight. Thank you to all for making this such a memorable holiday "

My Private Villas helped me with the villa selection (it was stunning!), the chef and dinner party at the house. It was all fabulous! Couldn't have asked for a better celebration. We will definitely be using them again...possibly when our daughter graduates college in a few years!"
