Quiet Salema is blissfully missing the mass-tourism vibe that you find in many parts of the Algarve. Beach Village by NAU Hotels & Resorts is the perfect setting for families looking to relax and experience authentic Portugese life.
The best of both worlds, two and three bedroom townhouse villas meet your self catering needs, while the reception, housekeeping, communal swimming pool and pool bar give you all the benefits of staying in a hotel. Additional facilities include a childrens’ playground, padel court, an outdoor gym and Bike hire is available.
Featuring a terrace and garden, all units are air conditioned and include a dining area and a seating area with a cable flat-screen TV. All units feature a kitchen equipped with a dishwasher and microwave. A toaster, a refrigerator and stovetop are also provided, as well as a coffee machine. There is a private bathroom with a bath or shower in each unit. Towels and bed linen are available. Specific children equipment can be requested.
A 15 minute walk away is the quiet beach of Salema where residents and tourists have a peaceful coexistence. On one end of the beach, at low tide, you can usually scramble over the rocks past tiny tide pools to secluded Figueira Beach. If you feel the need to do some touring, a 15-minute drive to the west gets you to the most romantic beach in the region: Praia do Castelejo, If you head in the other direction, you'll find the historic town Lagos. Another popular town Sagres is a short drive and Faro airport is just over an hour away.
Most of the fishing business is done in bigger markets nearby, in Sagres and Lagos. But if you go out to the beach at night in Salema you'll still see six or seven boats out on the water, their lights bobbing on the horizon, as local fishermen work to catch squid, sardines, and octopus. Not surprisingly, the town's handful of small, family-run restaurants specialize in one thing: fresh seafood. Happily, those that face the beach are the most fun, with the best service, food, and atmosphere.
Here, privacy and sea views prevail, in a landscape that illustrates the perfect holiday postcard with the blue sea contrasting with the white tones of the villas. Spend your days on the beach or if you prefer, relax by the pool.
Whatever your choice may be, one thing is for sure: the secrecy and authenticity of the village of Salema and Salema Beach Village will turn your holiday into a precious hidden treasure that you will want to uncover and repeat, stay after stay.
