portugal algarve activities

Ideally located near some of the Algarve’s finest courses — Monte Rei, Quinta da Ria, and Benamor — it allows for exceptional days on the fairway followed by evenings of private luxury, great wine pairings, and Mediterranean Flavors.

At Villa Lage, yoga unfolds naturally across the terraces and garden. Although there is no dedicated indoor studio, the practice remains a gentle, grounding ritual that nurtures creativity and wellbeing, complemented by curated healthy meals prepared by our chef — both fundamental pillars of our exclusive retreats.

For those seeking a touch of adventure, Fuseta, just a short drive from Villa Lage (10min), offers some of the best kitesurfing conditions in the Algarve. With steady winds, shallow waters, and wide sandy stretches, it’s the perfect setting for both beginners and experienced riders. Certified instructors provide private lessons and guided sessions, ensuring safety and personalized attention. Whether gliding over the turquoise lagoon or mastering your first launch, kitesurfing in Fuseta is an exhilarating way to experience the energy and beauty of the Ria Formosa.

Discover the beauty of Cacela Velha on horseback, riding along golden sands and the shimmering Ria Formosa shoreline, or deepen your connection with the equestrian world through private, tailor-made lessons with our trusted partner located just ten minutes from the villa.

Discover the Eastern Algarve by sea on a private sailing trip — one of the most beautiful and unspoiled coastlines in southern Europe. 

A private sailing experience with a captain offers the chance to enjoy a half-day escape or a full-day voyage with lunch on board, exploring the calm waters of the Ria Formosa Lagoon or venture beyond the islands to the open Atlantic. It’s a day of pure freedom, sun, drifting with the breeze. 

Beyond the lagoon, the Eastern Algarve reveals landscapes of rare beauty — from the rolling hills of the Barrocal to the wild trails of the Serra and the peaceful paths bordering the wetlands of the Ria Formosa. 

These natural routes blend seamlessly with cultural walks through historic towns, where cobblestone streets, ancient walls and timeless architecture reveal the region’s deep maritime and Mediterranean heritage.

At Villa Lage, kayaks and paddleboards are always on hand, ready for guests to explore the calm waters of the Ria Formosa directly from the property. The captain is available to assist whenever the lagoon calls, ensuring a smooth and effortless experience. Early mornings are especially magical — when the water lies still as glass and the birdlife awakens, offering a quiet connection with nature that feels both serene and unforgettable.

When you feel like a dip in the ocean, the villa’s private boat will take you to the secluded, seemingly endless Desert Beach. For a truly exclusive experience, guests can enjoy the Villa Lage crewed motor boat, available just steps from the property’s gate. The captain will be on hold.

Whether for your personal enjoyment or to share with your inner circle, we offer experiences rooted in the garden, the seasons and the local culture. Activities may include Yoga, Tai Chi / Qi Gong, Meditation, Breathwork, and massages in the garden, as well as gentle outings for beach walks and sea swims.
