This four bedroom 'holiday beach villa' is a few paces from the Laguna Beach, whilst the main Atlantic beach is just 5 minutes walk. Accommodation includes 3 double bedrooms and one bunk bedroom plus two pacious bathrooms. The spacious lounge / dining / kitchen area has everything for 8 guests to enjoy this self catering, romantic island retreat! The front patio of the cottage is an extension to the living area with traditional Portuguese outside dining, built in b-b-q, and lots of shade to keep cool, even during the heat of day. Live island life like the locals!! The rear beach garden at the back of the villa is a sun trap with sun loungers. You won't find the locals out in the noon-day sun, but you are on holiday so enjoy every moment. If the sun gets too hot, nip down to the lagoon for a quick dip!!

Armona Island is in the heart of the Algarve. This barrier island is car free, with a scattering of holiday cottages and just enough bars and restaurants to enjoy the local Portuguese lifestyle. Armona is also part National Park, a pristine natural environment, with over 9 kilometres of beach. Nearby Olhao (10 minutes by Ferry) has more restaurants and clubs, a lovely marina, and a 'must see' local market on the waterfront. The Algarve is famous for watersports including swimming, waterskiing, snorklling, sailing, and generally 'messing around in boats'. The Olhao ferry terminal connects to the other local islands as well as Armona, or for a few euros more splash out on a Water Taxi. Surrounding Olhao and Faro are numerous golf courses, and for those who can prise themselves away from Armona the whole Algarve is there to be explored.

5 out of 5

Wonderful island for relaxing.

ggdentist Sussex, UK
Review Submitted: May 26, 2009 Date of Stay: May 2009
The villa was great, well equiped with loads of indoor and outdoor space. There were only 5 of us but I do think if 8 were staying one bathroom may prove a bit of a problem.

Super kayak for use on the lagoon, great beaches and very friendly locals. The villa had everything you could possibly need and we will be returning!

The villa was so great we barbequed there everynight and saved a fortune on eating out.
