Welcome to Simply Salema and our brand-new, exquisite ocean villa, Praia Dourada.
Built to the highest specifications with no expense spared, Villa Praia Dourada is a slick and stylish south-west facing luxury villa – which raises the standard of holiday villas in Salema.
Bask in all-day sunshine as you enjoy long, lazy days soaking up the truly spectacular views. The panorama leads down the valley towards Salema village and on to the Algarve coastline as far as Sagres in the distance. Imagine all this at sunset…
Impressive inside and out, furnished and equipped for every comfort, this fully air-conditioned villa is as good as it gets and the epitome of luxury.
The perfect location close to Salema beach.
Villa Praia Dourada is located in a peaceful, small and upmarket urbanisation surrounded by nature.
It is a an easy, short 5-minute stroll to Salema beach, and a further 3-minutes to the village centre (8 minutes in total). The walk is charmingly delightful, following the narrow Rua dos Pescadores (Fisherman’s Road). This cobbled street leads enchantingly to Salema beach & village centre, with its excellent selection of restaurants, bars, cafes and mini market.
Alternatively, head in the opposite direction, along a coastal footpath for around 12-minutes, and you will discover the remote Boca do Rio beach.

The dining area leads seamlessly to the impressive fully-equipped open-plan modern kitchen, fitted with high quality units and appliances. The highlight is the statement kitchen island, with breakfast bar and feature hanging lights.
