The Costa Vicentina 

Wild Nature on the Western Algarve

Stretching along the western edge of the Algarve, the Costa Vicentina is one of Portugal’s most unspoiled and protected coastlines. This remarkable natural park is a place where raw landscapes, dramatic cliffs and vast Atlantic horizons remain untouched, offering a rare sense of space, silence and freedom.

Here, wild beaches meet powerful waves, creating a paradise for surfers, nature lovers and those seeking authenticity. Coastal trails wind through dunes, cliffs and rolling hills, revealing exceptional flora and fauna and some of the most breathtaking sunsets in southern Europe.

Despite its preserved character, the region offers a relaxed and vibrant lifestyle. Traditional villages blend effortlessly with surf culture, local markets, laid-back cafés and restaurants, where time seems to slow down and life follows the rhythm of nature.

Nestled in the heart of this extraordinary environment, Aljezur is the ideal base to explore the Costa Vicentina. Between the Algarve and Alentejo, it embodies a perfect balance between wild beauty, cultural heritage and understated elegance.

Staying at Villa Nana or Villa Sound of the Sea means experiencing the Costa Vicentina at its purest — a destination designed for those who wish to reconnect with nature, recharge deeply and embrace a slower, more meaningful way of life.
