Vila Gaivota

“Great views, coastal walks and perfectly-maintained gardens”

I'm sitting on the terrace of a townhouse here in Vila Gaivota. There is a beautiful view clear across the vast bay to the Ponta da Piedade promontory and the city of Lagos.

I'm sitting on the terrace of a townhouse here in Vila Gaivota. There is a beautiful view clear across the vast bay to the Ponta da Piedade promontory and the city of Lagos. In the foreground, there is the entrance to Portimão harbour, i.e. the beacons on the pier ends, with ships and boats regularly gliding between them. Vila Gaivota has lovely gardens, palm trees, many flowering plants, small lawns and seating areas. You can walk from the grounds to two beaches (each with a restaurant) and to the signposted cliff-top walk between Ferragudo and Carvoeiro "Path of the Headlands". Spectacular views all the way (ocean, birds, cliffs, blowholes, beaches, boats, lighthouse, watchtower) through fragrant, flowering scrubland. Our accommodation is lovely: well-equipped, three terraces and two bedrooms each with an en suite bathroom. There is an on-site restaurant and swimming pool too.

“Lovely town house”

We stayed at Gaivota many years ago and although it is clear some of the resort needs updating the new owners are working hard to bring it back to how it was and maybe more.

We stayed at Gaivota many years ago and although it is clear some of the resort needs updating the new owners are working hard to bring it back to how it was and maybe more. We stayed in a beautiful 2 en-suite bedroom house. This had recently been updated to a very high standard. The house was beautifully clean with a large well equipped kitchen. Each bedroom has a balcony and the house itself has a good size terrace where we ate breakfast or sat in the evening. The resort is within walking distance from 2 lovely beaches and there is a bus stop just outside the resort that will take you into Ferragudo. The restaurant wasn't open when we stayed which was a shame but there are restaurants within walking distance from the resort. The only problem we had was one of the showers flooded the bathroom which didn't get fixed while we were there which was ok for us as there were only 2 of us but if there had been more people it could have been quite inconvenient

“Vila Giavota, Saluki restaurant ”

Lovely to see Vila Gaivota coming back to life. We didn't stay there but the food is delicious in the restaurant with a Moroccan theme and the atmosphere is very relaxed and enjoyable. A lovely roof top view and very friendly staff 😊. Will definitely visit again.
