What €500k, €1m and €3m gets you in Vilamoura

Vilamoura has positioned itself as one of the Algarve's most established and consistently in-demand property markets. Here is what three common budgets actually buy.

€500,000

A two- or three-bedroom apartment, typically a short walk rather than a step from the marina, often within a development with a communal pool. Newer stock at this level increasingly comes with a rooftop terrace. Strong rental credentials, low maintenance burden.

€1,000,000

Either a premium marina-front or golf-front apartment, or a townhouse with private pool on one of the established avenues. This is the level at which lock-and-leave convenience and genuine space stop being mutually exclusive.

€3,000,000

A substantial detached villa on a private plot, generally four to five bedrooms with pool, garden and — depending on position — golf or sea views. At this level the specification and the plot matter more than the postcode.
