Summer
Summer at Villa Lage is all about embracing the outdoors and enjoying the Algarve at its most vibrant. Long days, warm waters and balmy evenings create the perfect setting for playful adventures, family moments and sunlit rituals.
The essence of seaside living.
Water sports in turquoise waters
Summer is the prime season for Water sports, exploring the turquoise waters of Ria Formosa. Warm temperatures and light winds make these activities accessible, fun and deeply connected to the landscape. The calm waters of the lagoon are perfect for kayaking and Paddleboarding. The perfect season for Kitesurfing in nearby Fuseta, where steady summer winds create perfect conditions.
Evenings made for outdoor gatherings
As the sun sets, the garden becomes the heart of summer life. Barbecues, fresh fish, seafood cataplanas, local vegetables and salads. Warm evenings, shared outdoors and Candlelit dinners.
Island days & sea swims
Only in summer can you fully enjoy the endless shallow sandbanks and hidden beaches of the Ria Formosa. Boat trips lead to deserted islands where you can swim, snorkel, relax on warm sand and spend carefree hours by the sea.
Summer is the season of abundance, colour and effortless cooking.
Typical summer delights include: Sweet tomatoes, ripe figs, melons and peppers; Fresh herbs picked from the villa’s garden; Grilled sardines, sea bass and prawns straight from the morning catch.
From sunrise swims to barefoot evenings in the garden, summer invites spontaneity and simple pleasures.
Family holidays in their purest form
Summer brings families together — children exploring the garden, swimming in the pool, building sandcastles on quiet beaches, while adults enjoy long lunches, slow mornings, or peaceful moments in the shade of the trees. Days flow naturally, with no rush and no obligations.
