Top 25 Luxury Villas in Portugal with Private Pool or Hot Tub: Perfect Holidays for 2024
Looking for the perfect luxury villas in Portugal with private pool? I’ve got you covered!
Renting a luxury villa with a private pool in Portugal is undoubtedly the perfect getaway especially if you are traveling with families and friends. Portugal weather is renowned to be warm and its stunning beaches have a great selection of top-notch villas that will definitely provide a private oasis from the rat race.
I’ve been living in Portugal since 2015 and have rented out my own luxury villa for years. Because of this, I know what to look for in a villa.
It’s hard to imagine a more delightful holiday experience than spending time with your loved ones, relaxing and rejuvenating in a luxury villa with a private pool in beautiful Portugal.
Read on for the list I made of the most interesting villas in Portugal with a pool. These are the best villas in North Portugal, central Portugal, and the Algarve based on ratings, interesting locations near popular villages and attractions, and of course, design.
🔴 Hot Tip!!! These villas were all chosen from Booking, VRBO, or Plum Guide, an excellent Airbnb-like aggregator which only selects the top 3 % of all properties suggested to them and also offers the best post-rental customer service I’ve seen to date. I much prefer Plum Guide to Airbnb since their selection process means I don’t have to hunt as much for the best places to stay.

If you’re staying in a villa on the mainland, then car hire is recommended as there are many spectacular places to explore away from the Portuguese coast.

What to Know Before you Book
When choosing the part of Portugal you’d like to vacation in make sure to consider the following things:
🌊 Mosquitos: Many parts of Portugal can be quite warm and humid during the summer months, which can make it an ideal breeding ground for mosquitos. Be sure to pack insect repellents, as well as long sleeves and pants to cover your skin when outdoors.
🔴 Although mosquitos in Portugal don’t carry malaria or dengue, some areas are worse than others for these pesky insects. Ask if there are screens on the windows.
🌊 Dangerous animals: There really aren’t many dangers in Portugal, but there are a few snakes you may want to keep your eye out for if you choose to stay in a remote, rural area.
🌊 Proximity to attractions: Choose a villa no more than an hour’s drive from the attractions you’re interested in visiting, or even walking distance to things like the beach, the golf course or the village center. Also make sure transport from the airport is easily booked, or car parking is available if you choose to rent a car.
🌊 Fencing around the pool: Most pools do not have a protective fence between outdoor eating areas and the pool area. Speak to the owner about safety for young children and make a plan like locking doors that access the pool area and using floating devices if necessary.
