A grand beachfront retreat where historic character meets refined coastal living

The Red Chalet is an opulent beachfront villa in the Algarve’s Armação de Pêra. With its vibrant crimson façade and prime position overlooking the golden sands and azure Atlantic, this iconic villa offers an immersive escape into a world of refined luxury.

Flanked by towering palm trees, the villa boasts uninterrupted ocean views, while a seawall terrace gives the impression of floating above the water. A private gate leads directly onto the beach below, allowing guests to step directly from their private haven onto the soft sands below.

To the side of the villa, a heated swimming pool is lined by sun loungers and shaded by parasols and palms. Various outdoor living spaces offer quiet corners to take in the light and ocean air. Al fresco dining areas and a spacious outdoor lounge with a fire pit for evening gatherings complete the picture, allowing guests to enjoy meals and aperitifs with uninterrupted views of the Atlantic.

Originally built in the early 1920s as a private summer residence for a prominent Portuguese family, the property has been expertly and lovingly restored. Original features have been painstakingly recreated or maintained, from the spectacular central staircase and antique chandeliers to the intricate, Moorish-inspired geometric designs that adorn the shutters and ceilings.

All four bedrooms feature en-suite bathrooms and beautiful sea views. The White House suite features its own terrace and a separate sitting area, while the studio offers a more intimate setting with a combined bedroom and living space, also opening onto a private balcony. The layout lends itself equally well to groups of friends or extended family looking for the perfect blend of connection and privacy.
