Village, Albufeira, Algarve

less than a 3 hours flight from around a dozen airports
throughout the British Isles. Just 25 kilometres (25 minutes
drive) from the International Airport of Faro, is the
beautiful setting of Balaia Village.

the quiet villages of Olhos d'Agua and Praia d'Oura. Click here for a map (48K).
The Algarve has a wonderful climate.
Early February brings out the almond blossom, followed
quickly by the first crop of citrus fruit. Spring is full of
colour in the Algarve, although with a growing season ten
months long, the gardens of Balaia Village are rarely without
the scent of flowers. Welcome summer breezes from the sea
give relief from the daytime heat of the sun in July and
August, whilst an extended autumn provides excellent weather
right into November.
Tradition is strong in the Algarve. The Moors left the
province many hundreds of years ago, yet even today, their
influence over the architecture lives on. The properties at Balaia Village reveal
the Moorish influence, but with the comfort of modern living.
The family is important in Algarve culture which perhaps
accounts for the warmth and friendliness of the local people.

Care and attention to detail are the hallmarks of Balaia
Village, although nature has also had a part to play. The
beautiful pine trees form not only the perfect backdrop to
Balaia Village, they give privacy and provide welcome shade
in summer. In the planning stage, if trees obstructed the
construction plans, the plans were changed! If a developer
shows this much concern for the environment, imagine the care
with which the properties themselves are built.
