This $26 Million Tour-de-Force Villa in Portugal Has Two Pools and a Bonsai Garden

If you’ve ever wondered what it might be like to wake up to a lake, golf course, and ocean view all at once, this bold new villa in Portugal’s Quinta do Lago gives you a pretty good idea. Priced at €22 million (around $25.7 million) with Quinta Properties Savills, the six-bedroom, seven-bathroom tour-de-force spans roughly 11,000 square feet across three floors, pairing contemporary architecture with high-end finishes and thoughtful design details.

A double-height entrance hall with wet-polished stone flooring, a swooping sculptural staircase, and a custom chandelier immediately sets the glamorous tone. Further in, the open-plan living spaces showcase clean lines, a gas fireplace, a built-in sound system, and a windowed corner for a grand piano. Automated blinds over the massive expanse of floor-to-ceiling windows can be closed to shade the space from the heat of the sun or opened to views of cascading swimming pools, the lake, and the fairways stretching toward the Atlantic. The kitchen, fitted with bespoke oak cabinetry and top-tier appliances, flows directly onto a terrace with an alfresco kitchen.

Upstairs, the primary suite features a walk-in wardrobe, his-and-her bathrooms, and a private terrace. Another ensuite bedroom on this level even has an outdoor shower. The rooftop terrace is a showstopper: 360-degree views, a heated pool, outdoor kitchen and bar, and plenty of room for lounging in privacy.

The lower level includes a four-car garage with EV charging, a gym with sauna and twin showers, a cinema room, and a private office overlooking a tranquil bonsai garden. There’s also space prepared for a future golf simulator, a main laundry, and guest WC. Every detail has been considered for effortless living, from Porcelanosa ceramic floors to American walnut joinery and a fully integrated smart system controlling lighting, climate, sound, and security.

Quinta do Lago, in the Algarve’s “Golden Triangle,” is one of the most exclusive golf communities in the region, set within the UNESCO-protected Ria Formosa Natural Park. Residents enjoy championship courses, Michelin-recognized dining, plus tennis and padel courts, cycling studios, kayaking and paddleboarding, and family-friendly amenities.

The Algarve’s popularity is at an all-time high, especially with American buyers. Prices for prime properties have jumped more than 30 percent in the past year, and inventory in sought-after communities like Quinta do Lago and Vale do Lobo is tight. Portugal first became a hotspot for foreign buyers in 2012 with their golden visa, which tied residency permits to real estate investment. Last year, the government removed real estate from the program, though other options remain, including venture capital or cultural donations. The visa grants residency for up to five years, with the option to apply for permanent residency or citizenship afterward.
