If you’re looking to buy a property that’s private and secluded, one where you can enjoy the freedom of a textile-free lifestyle in a naturist-friendly climate, you’ve come to the right place.
The Algarve is sparsely populated, which means that there’s miles of pure countryside to enjoy and neighbours are an optional extra. This southern coast of Portugal is one of the few remaining true paradises in Europe – largely unspoilt and home to countless species of flowers, birds, sea life and mammals.
One species that you won’t find in the region though are Brass Monkeys! It’s rare for a day to pass by without a good showing of sunshine - average temperatures across the region range from 24°C and above in the hottest month of August to around 12°C in the coldest month of January, although this January temperatures during the day have reached 19°C!
Not only is the Algarve’s climate naturist-friendly, the people here welcome naturists too. In fact, the region promotes three official naturist beaches and there are many more unofficial naturist beaches along its 150 plus kilometres of glorious coastline.
OK, if you’re a naturist living in a cold climate, you can always stop indoors, but somehow a TV dinner in the buff with the central heating turned up a notch is no match for an al-fresco supper on a balmy Algarve evening. So, how about a home in the sun?
House prices in the Algarve are still lower than they’ve ever been, but the Portuguese economy is on the road to recovery and there’s no doubt that the property market is picking up. Prices won’t stay low for too much longer, so if you’ve dreamed of owning a retreat in warmer climes, stop dreaming and seize the opportunity while you still can.
Buying property in Portugal is a simple and straightforward process, so there’s no need to be nervous about purchasing abroad. There’s plenty of help and advice available on buying your home and living in the Algarve in Meravista.com’s resources section and there’s stacks of information about the region too. Plus, you’ll find there’s a huge network of expats here who are more than willing to help and share their experiences.
In the Algarve, secluded doesn’t have to mean isolated. There are hundreds of properties for sale close to towns and villages, which are totally private, so you can enjoy the best of both worlds. We’ve pulled a few winners out of the bag, but there are plenty more to choose from on Meravista.com.
