On the very first line of the Atlantic, where the horizon stretches endlessly and the rhythm of the sea sets the pace of life, an extraordinary new villa rises above the coastline of Salema—one of the Western Algarve’s last hidden gems.
Offered at €10,500,000, this spectacular frontline residence represents a rare opportunity to acquire a true architectural landmark in an unspoiled and increasingly sought-after corner of the Algarve.
Overlooking the iconic Salema amphitheatre, the villa captures far-reaching, utterly mesmerising ocean views from every principal room. Designed for those who value privacy, refinement, and uncompromising quality, it is a sanctuary defined by light, space, and timeless design.
Architecture in perfect harmony with the sea
Conceived by award-winning Atelier Mario Martins, executed with flawless precision by PAULO Marreiros – Panormar, and curated internally by Milan-based Studio Motta, this 900 m2 estate is a masterclass in contemporary coastal elegance.
Upon entering, you are immediately welcomed by a wide open floor plan framed by dramatic floor-to-ceiling windows that dissolve the boundary between interior and exterior. Natural light floods the living spaces, while the Atlantic provides a constantly shifting, cinematic backdrop.
The ground floor unfolds into two elegant open lounges positioned on either side of the expansive living area, each offering singular, infinite ocean views. A grand dining table invites extended family gatherings, while a beautifully crafted breakfast and cocktail bar—complete with a striking central island—anchors the space with effortless sophistication.
Comfort and elegance are the defining notes throughout. Two discreet powder rooms serve this level, ensuring seamless entertaining.
A kitchen designed for the culinary connoisseur
The gourmet chef’s kitchen is exquisitely appointed with top-of-the-range Gaggenau appliances and generous countertop surfaces tailored to both everyday living and grand occasions. A charming aromatic herb micro-garden, just steps away, provides fresh ingredients at a moment’s notice—an elegant and practical detail for inspired cooking.
From the living and dining areas, sliding glass doors open onto a magnificent terrace where two infinity-edged heated pools appear to merge with the horizon. Here, indoor and outdoor living blend seamlessly, creating the perfect setting for long, sun-drenched afternoons and luminous Algarve evenings.
Six en-suite bedrooms of refined serenity
The villa offers six beautifully appointed en-suite bedrooms—five on the first floor and one on the ground level—providing comfort and privacy for family and guests alike.
The primary suite is a serene haven of understated opulence. Featuring two walk-in closets, a sculptural bathtub, and a walk-in shower, every element is oriented toward the sea. The panoramic views over the dramatic, nature-carved coastline transform daily rituals into extraordinary moments.
Each of the additional five bedrooms is generously proportioned and opens onto sun-soaked oceanfront balconies. From sunrise to sunset, the Atlantic remains your constant companion.
Wellness, leisure & versatility
Designed with wellbeing and lifestyle at its core, the expansive lower level benefits from natural light filtering through the swimming pool windows above—an architectural detail that elevates the entire space.
This versatile area offers endless possibilities:
- A private wellness retreat with spa and fitness area
- An intimate home theatre for unforgettable evenings
- Or a generously sized garage accommodating multiple vehicles
At ground floor level, the property also includes a convenient one-car garage and a carport.
Where sophistication meets serenity
Salema remains one of the Algarve’s most authentic and discreet coastal enclaves—a rare blend of preserved charm and refined living. Here, privacy coexists with proximity to the village’s restaurants, golden beaches, and natural beauty.
Every detail of this residence has been meticulously considered to deliver an exceptional living experience. More than a home, it is a statement of lifestyle—where architectural excellence, serene surroundings, and absolute comfort converge.
An extraordinary oceanfront estate. A timeless investment. A life defined by elegance and sea views without compromise.
