About Villa Essence

Captivating property with astonishing views of the UNESCO protected Ria Formosa

Set within a truly unique location near to the centre of Tavira, this 200 sqm Algarve retreat is all on one level and unfolds across 6,900 sqm of landscaped gardens, thoughtfully designed to immerse guests in its protected nature reserve setting. Defined by post-modernist architecture, the south-facing villa opens seamlessly to the outdoors, with uninterrupted views across the Ria Formosa to the Atlantic beyond. The home is deeply connected to its surroundings, celebrating native flora and fauna—watch closely and you may glimpse flamingos, spoonbills, and other elegant wading birds.

Inside, pared-back neutral tones, layered textures, and carefully curated art and artefacts create a calm, earth-inspired backdrop for effortless living. The living areas are designed to ensure maximum comfort for guests, and huge windows allow natural light to flood through and showcase the unique views. Each bedroom has a king size bed, private bathroom and direct access to the garden.

The interiors flow naturally into the garden, where sheltered alfresco dining and a swimming pool overlook the shifting marshlands and waterways of the Ria Formosa. 

A haven for lovers of nature, sun, and sea, this villa is ideally positioned near some of the Algarve’s most unspoilt landscapes—whether within the tranquil estuary or along vast stretches of deserted ocean beach.

Things we love

"The Eastern Algarve is perfect for those seeking a more tranquil, less crowded holiday experience. This hidden gem is dotted with charming historic towns, offering visitors the chance to enjoy a truly relaxing getaway, while immersing themselves in the laid-back rhythm of small-town, Portuguese life. With its serene atmosphere and authentic charm, the Eastern Algarve provides the ideal setting for those in search of peace and quiet, away from the tourist crowds"

Things to Be Aware of

"While East Algarve is perfect for those looking to embrace historic charm and small-town living, some destinations may offer fewer activities for children or families seeking a more active experience."
