About this property

10 Min Walk to the Beach.Luxury apartment, overlooking golf driving range.

Overview

Balaia golf village is nestled amongst a 9 hole golf course between Vilamoura and Albufeira. It also boasts 4 tennis courts, 6 swimming pools, restaurants, supermarket, beauty parlor and shops and now a very new bowling green.

There is also a 24 hour reception area. Here the friendly and helpful staff will assist with your requests. Whether it is for a taxi, local excursions or just general knowledge about the surrounding areas. There is also internet access available.

Due to its location most of the Algarve’s treats are not far away and Spain is only about an hours drive away.

We are asked on many occasions whether the apartment has AIR CONDITIONING, no it doesn't is the short answer. However we would like to point out we have never had a complaint about the lack of it. The apartment is located on the ground floor and remains cool at all times, even the extreme heat endured through the summer of 2018 where temperatures were in the late 30's. Electric fans do a very good job and are a lot healthier too.



Apartment 747
The apartment sits in a quieter area of the complex, next to the golf clubhouse and overlooking the driving range. There is a pool complex 50 meters away ideal for both adults and children.
It enjoys a south facing terrace where you can sunbathe all day if you so wish, or watch the entertainment of the driving range.

The apartment is in excellent decorative quality and naturally comes with all the modern conveniences. This is classed as a superior apartment by the resort and so has a fully operational kitchen and includes extras such as coffee machine, toaster juicer and microwave. There is also washing facilities drier ironing board and iron and clothes horse.

The lounge has comfortable seating for up to 6 people where you can enjoy your meal or sit and watch the television.

Both bedrooms have twin beds are spacious and have double wardrobes where there is ample space for your clothes and belongings. The master bedroom is on suite and opens onto its own terrace. The second bedroom is served by the second bathroom. The sofa in the lounge also pulls out to make a double bed.

Your valuables can be safely locked away in the built in safe.


And finally
With all this going on, in and around the resort there are a lot more advantages to staying in this area.
The Maria Luisa beach is about a 10 minute walk. It is a secluded sandy beach, ideal for the kids and has a restaurant for excellent meals or just enjoy a coffee or “imperial”.

Albufeira is about five to 10 minutes by car and has the lot. Restaurants of all kinds, Bars a plenty to suit all ages and tastes, shops, souvenirs and at night plenty of nightlife and nightclubs for the younger generation.

For the golfers Vilamoura a 15 minute drive has 6 or 7 golf courses, another 15 minutes on and you have the internationally acclaimed courses of Quinta do Lago alongside Vale do Lobo Pinheiros Altos and Sao Lourenco, an absolute golfers paradise.

Shopping centres are now in abundance with nearest being Guia and several others in Far, Loule and Portimao all with 100 plus shops and eating areas.

There are marinas in Vilamoura, Albufeira and Lagos and others dotted all along the coast. In Almancil there is karting for the racers, history and a castle in nearby Silves. If you want a full day out, Spain is only a hour’s drive and the beautiful city of Seville can be reached in just 2 hours 30 minutes.

There is sailing, sea fishing, flying, helicopter rides, the zoo, ten pin bowling, shopping, safaris, waterslide parks, zoo marine, horse riding and much more. The choice is yours!!!!!

Happy to be back in Portugal after a few years away
Balaia golf resort is a firm favourite of ours. The location of this apartment was perfect for us, though many may think it too far back in the resort, but we like it as it was near the golf club house. The owner does state no aircon in the description of the appartment and it wasn’t a problem for us. We do however feel that it might be time to update a few things within the apartment - but I will bring this up with the owner directly as none of it is deal breakers for us and we would very likely return.one day

Holidays in Balaia
I stayed 1 week with my family in Peter´s apartment in Balaia and had a wonderful time. The apartment is great, located very close to one of the swimming pools, very well equipped with everything we needed to have a pleasant time. Balaia complex is also great and very close to shopping and beaches. Thank you for everything Peter and Yvonne, Sara

Amazing holiday home
My family and I had an amazing time in Balaia and staying at this property. The apartment was very clean and had all the amenities we needed. The location of the apartment was so peaceful and it was brilliant having the golf club just across the road for coffees in the morning. The pool closest to the apartment became a favourite with the children and always had spare suns beds, even in the middle of august. Peter was very helpful and a great host, we would definitely love to come back!

Fantástico...mas sem net
Não há nada a apontar sem ser o facto de não ter net, apesar de no anuncio ser apresentado como uma casa com wifi, o aldeamento tem e a piscina ao lado de casa também, mas o apartamento não. Deviam rever este tema visto que hoje em dia é um "must-have" Tudo o resto é 5 estrelas, recomendo!

Ma famille et moi sommes venus passer 1 semaine a Algarve cet été et avons été très agréablement surpris par la maison et ses environs! Villa/Maison de vacances très bien équipée, chambres spacieuses et propres, très belle piscine située à quelques pas (partagée) avec de multiples activités accessibles (Golf, tennis, ...). ´ Peter a su être disponible et à répondu rapidement à toutes nos questions et demande, que ce soit par message ou au téléphone!

Boa localização
A localização é boa, na zona mais tranquila da balaia e próximo da piscina. Como não é virada a sul não é demasiado quente mas pelo menos uma das divisões devia ter AC. Pouco equipada em utensílios de cozinha. O jardim à frente é bom, e a zona de refeições exteriores também.

Férias fantásticas
Gostamos muito do apartamento e da localização. Apesar de já fazermos férias no Balaya Golf Village há 3 anos, nunca tínhamos ficado na zona do golfe, que é muito mais tranquila. A piscina também é das melhores e mais sossegada. O apartamento tem tudo o que é necessário. Adoramos. Vamos voltar com certeza. Muito obrigada Sr Peter e D. Yvonne.

Férias no Apa 747 da Balaia Golf Village
A propriedade é muito boa, funcional e limpa. Foram umas férias muito agradáveis . A impressão geral é muito boa. O apartamento 747 é sem dúvida um apartamento muito funcional e em optimo estado de conservação. Tem todo o tipo de máquinas , lavar roupa e louça e máquina de secar roupa, microondas, etc. Como sugestão, deveria ser colocado um toldo no exterior do quarto que dá para a relva, semelhante ao que já existe no exterior da sala, uma vez que à hora do almoço o apartamento fica demasiado exposto ao sol. A falta de Wi-fi é talvez o maior "drawback" do apartamento. Fica numa zona à qual não estavamos habituados, embora seja uma zona muito calma e bonita, fica um pouco mais longe da praia e dos supermercados.

We have visited the Balaia Golf Village many times and would recommend it as a great family holiday location. Our apartment was in Phase 3 near the golf club which was perfect for us. Phase 3 apartments are newer and ours was fitted out to a high standard.

Amazing time in Balaia golf village
I'd highly recommend the apartment and Balaia golf village. The apartment is spacious, has everything you need for holidays, and very clean. Swimming pool is just around the corner, there were always sunbeds available and the resort is being maintained and cleaned daily. We have highered a car for easy travelling. However, there are shops and restaurants in walkable distance. Peter was very helpful and replied to my emails straight away, he gave us some advice on places to visit. We had an amazing time in Balaia and I'd highly recommend the apartment to anyone.

Super
Appartement fonctionnel, bien agencé et spacieux, situé au calme avec vue sur le green du golf, à 50 mètres de la piscine et du Golf club house. Appartement en rez de jardin => espace supplémentaire pour vivre dehors (faire bronzette sur les bains de soleil, espace de jeu pour les enfants..) Bref, un endroit idéal pour se reposer et profiter pleinement de ses vacances. Je vous le recommande vivement. De plus Peter est très prévenant, il fera tout pour que votre séjour soit parfait. A l'entrée du domaine, vous trouverez 1 superette et 1 pharmacie bien utiles pour vous dépanner. Mais, pour vos courses je vous recommande vivement d'aller sur Albufeira c'est bien moins cher (Pingo Doce, Continante, Lidl, Aldi). La voiture est fortement recommandée si vous voulez profiter des alentours, faire des sorties le soir car il n'y pas d'activité nocturne proche de la résidence ...(sinon il y a le bus, les taxis, navettes ou la marche pour les plus courageux). Juste un détail, même si cela ne nous a pas dérangé, il n'y a que 1 seule chaine TV française . Nous y retournerons si nous devions revenir sur Albufeira.

We had a great time here. The apartment was spotless and had everything you needed. The beach really is only a ten minute walk and everything else on site. Our kids loved being able to move to other pools and we loved that there was always beds and umbrellas available around the pools. I would recommend this place and would return again. Yvonne was available to answer any questions we had and Peter was quick with returns on line, during the booking process. Thanks guys.

The apartment was very well presented, bright clean and well furnished.On arrival a bottle of water in the fridge would have been appreciated, also a spare toilet roll and a bottle of cleaner for the sinks and toilets. The lack of the sun bed and mattresses was a disappointment, but still we enjoyed our holiday.
