Description
The Big Blue: A Small Boutique House Above the Ocean in Old Albufeira
Some houses give you an ocean view. This one gives you two. Both decks at The Big Blue look straight out to the ocean, and they are where the day begins and ends: coffee as the sun comes up over the water, dinner as it sets, the sea in front of you the whole time. Guests come for the house and end up living on the terraces. And for the late sleepers, blackout shades hold the morning off as long as they like.
The house takes its name and its spirit from The Big Blue, one of the most beloved and beautifully scenic ocean films of the 1980s. The most successful French film of the decade. Its owner is the son of one of the film's writers. Albufeira's gorgeous Atlantic view continually conjures images from the movie.
Brought back to life by a just completed multi-year renovation, The Big Blue is small by design and finished like a fine boutique hotel. It rises to four levels, with a bathroom on each and televisions throughout. A main bedroom and a comfortable second, each with a double bed, sleep four, well suited to a couple wanting extra room or two couples traveling together.
The kitchen is high-end and modern, with an induction stove and a large refrigerator, ready for a proper meal at home. A dishwasher, washing machine, and dryer handle the rest, and heating and cooling throughout keep the house comfortable from high summer into deep winter. Free Wi-Fi runs throughout.
Everything worth reaching is on foot. The beach sits a little over 100 meters away, by the steps and the well-known Albufeira beach elevator, and the old town, with its restaurants and bars, is about five minutes' walk. The Big Blue sits on one of the most prestigious streets in Albufeira, close to the action yet still quiet at night: a first class house in a first class location.

Wake up to the sound of the Atlantic, step outside and find the beach at your doorstep – while the restaurants, cafés and atmosphere of Albufeira’s Old Town are just a five-minute walk away.
Casa Farol is a truly individual home, combining an exceptional beachfront location with imaginative architecture, contemporary comfort and unexpected design details throughout. Completely rebuilt with great attention to detail, it is a house designed not just for summer holidays, but to be enjoyed at any time of year.
🌊 𝗕𝗘𝗔𝗖𝗛𝗙𝗥𝗢𝗡𝗧 𝗟𝗜𝗩𝗜𝗡𝗚
Despite its central location, Casa Farol enjoys a surprisingly peaceful setting. The sound of the waves provides the natural soundtrack, while windows, terraces and balconies have been designed to make the most of the wonderful views across the beach, ocean and coastline.
From morning coffee overlooking the Atlantic to an evening drink as the light changes over the sea, the location is very much part of the Casa Farol experience.
✨ 𝗔 𝗛𝗢𝗨𝗦𝗘 𝗪𝗜𝗧𝗛 𝗖𝗛𝗔𝗥𝗔𝗖𝗧𝗘𝗥
From the moment you enter, it becomes clear that Casa Farol is anything but an ordinary holiday home.
The entrance passage features an illuminated underwater scene extending across the ceiling, while curved openings lead naturally into the open-plan living and dining areas.
In the living room, a bar table directly beside the window creates one of the best seats in the house – perfect for coffee, a glass of wine or simply watching the beach and ocean beyond. Comfortable contemporary furnishings and a 75-inch Smart TV provide plenty of space to relax after a day outside.
The adjoining dining area brings together antique furniture, contemporary lighting and individual decorative pieces, reflecting the mix of old and new found throughout the house.
🏡 𝗧𝗛𝗘 𝗛𝗘𝗔𝗥𝗧 𝗢𝗙 𝗧𝗛𝗘 𝗛𝗢𝗨𝗦𝗘
A few steps above the dining area is the striking open-plan kitchen, designed to make cooking part of the social experience rather than something that happens behind closed doors.
It is fully equipped with modern appliances and everything needed for preparing meals at home. A stone breakfast bar provides an informal place for a snack, drink or conversation while cooking – with the Atlantic still visible through the living room beyond.
Natural light enters through an unusual glass ceiling, while beside the kitchen a dramatic staircase rises through the house. Black-and-white chequered tiles, warm chestnut-wood steps and vibrant yellow accents give this part of Casa Farol its own playful personality – with just a hint of Alice in Wonderland.
A generous guest bathroom is also located on this level and includes a combined washer and dryer.
🛏️ 𝗧𝗛𝗥𝗘𝗘 𝗕𝗘𝗗𝗥𝗢𝗢𝗠𝗦
On the first floor, the playful bunk bedroom features two full-size 90 × 200 cm beds with high-quality mattresses. Designed with both younger and grown-up guests in mind, it is a fun and comfortable room rather than a traditional children's bedroom.
Also on this level is the pool bedroom, with a double bed and floor-to-ceiling sliding glass doors opening directly onto the pool terrace.
The two bedrooms share a compact full bathroom with shower, featuring an original brass porthole and complementary fittings – another of the individual details that give the house its character.
Occupying the upper floor is the main bedroom, with its own ensuite bathroom. Floor-to-ceiling sliding glass doors open onto a generous private balcony with wonderful views across the beach, coastline and Atlantic – a very special place to begin or end the day.
🏊 𝗬𝗢𝗨𝗥 𝗣𝗥𝗜𝗩𝗔𝗧𝗘 𝗣𝗢𝗢𝗟 𝗧𝗘𝗥𝗥𝗔𝗖𝗘
At the heart of the outdoor space is Casa Farol’s private pool terrace.
Reached along a passage featuring a glass floor, the terrace sits between a rustic stone wall on one side and an impressive eight-metre-high vertical garden on the other.
The private pool and outdoor shower with warm water provide a refreshing escape on sunny days, while a large retractable awning offers shade whenever you want it.
And beyond it all is the Atlantic. The terrace overlooks the beach and ocean, creating a wonderfully private outdoor space despite being only minutes from the centre of Albufeira.
☀️ 𝗗𝗘𝗦𝗜𝗚𝗡𝗘𝗗 𝗙𝗢𝗥 𝗘𝗩𝗘𝗥𝗬 𝗦𝗘𝗔𝗦𝗢𝗡
Casa Farol has been rebuilt and equipped with comfort throughout the year in mind. All bedrooms and living areas feature integrated air conditioning and ceiling fans, while underfloor heating throughout the house – still relatively unusual in Algarve holiday homes – makes Casa Farol particularly comfortable during the cooler months.
The result is a home that works just as well for a sunny summer escape as it does for a peaceful winter stay by the ocean.
Casa Farol brings together beachfront living, private outdoor space, distinctive design and the convenience of Albufeira’s Old Town just minutes away – a very individual Algarve home with the unmistakable personal touch of the Luxshore Collection.
✨ 𝗟𝗨𝗫𝗦𝗛𝗢𝗥𝗘 – is a collection of distinctive holiday homes, personally selected and cared for by Susanne & Manlio. Each property combines a special location, individual character, thoughtful design and a high standard of comfort — creating not just a place to stay, but a place to feel at home.
