It is within a 20 mins. walk to the beach or 5 mins. drive. The mini market is beside the clubhouse.
The open plan layout of the apartment gives a feeling of light and space and as you enter the whole apartment opens up in front of you right through to the south facing covered terrace overlooking landscaped gardens. This is the perfect place to enjoy a quiet relaxing breakfast or an al-fresco barbecue evening meal.
The open-plan kitchen is fully equipped with dishwasher, washing machine, fridge freezer and microwave, conveniently located beside the dining area.
The guest bedroom and its adjacent shower/WC room is to the right of the entrance. Here there is also a large walk-in lockup area where buckets and spades, beach body boards and additional blankets and duvets are stored. This can also be used as a lockup for any valuable items.

MINIMARKET: There is a small mini market near the main Clubhouse which stocks the basics. In the summer it is open each day, in winter it has set times (please check these at Reception).

Quinta Shopping is an elegant open area of luxury shops and restaurants, outdoor cafés and potted trees, creating a relaxed atmosphere to enjoy lunch, dinner or just an evening drink at the nearby pub, the Melting Pot. Here you will also find 3 very upmarket restaurants, catering for most palates. If all you're looking for is a lunchtime salad or baguette, Deliti or Cubo are the perfect place.
My husband (Irish) and I (Belgian) have lived in Portugal since 1987 and love this beautiful country and its people. My husband has his own business offering project management services. We have two sons (26 and 21) who are in university in Dublin.
As I live near our rental property, I am able to give a personalised service to clients and I like to pay particular attention to the little details that make the difference in a holiday.
Linda Forbes-Van Laere purchased this apartment in 2000
We bought the apartment because we felt that Dunas Douradas (which means golden dunes) is the perfect spot for a wonderful holiday. Although it is set in a quiet location within the resort, the apartment is close to all the facilities of the clubhouse, and the beach is just a 5 mins drive away. On the beach, sun shades and loungers can be hired, there are water sports available in the summer months and the beach restaurants are open all year. Within a short drive there are also lots restaurants and nightlife. For golfers, there are many golf courses in the area. Families can relax knowing they are in a safe environment.
Dunas Douradas is a fantastic resort for a holiday as it is so near the beach and many facilities.
We provide beach/pool towels so you don't have to bring those with you. There's always a good supply of buckets, spades and body boards for the kids.
Dunas Douradas is a luxury development situated on the Algarve coast, 25 minutes from Faro airport. It is conveniently located within the 'golden triangle' between Quinta do Lago and Vale do Lobo and is within walking distance of the beach. Golfers will appreciate that 6 superb golf courses, including Quinta do Lago, Pinheiros Altos, San Lourenço and the Royal and Vale do Lobo courses are within a 10 minutes drive.
Other Activities: shopping and restaurants
Golf: GOLF
Golf discounts on a number of courses nearby, such as Pinheiros altos, Quinta do Lago, Vila Sol, Vale do Lobo and Vilamoura, are available from Reception.
