Our View
We love the rooftop terrace with its barbecue, sun beds and uninterrupted ocean views – an idyllic spot for lazy lunches, sundowners and relaxed evenings by the sea.
Estrela do Mar is a fully renovated fisherman’s residence set in the very centre of Salema, just steps from the sand. The whitewashed interiors echo the traditional architecture of the village, creating a calm and inviting retreat. With two king-size bedrooms, three bathrooms, a cosy living room with fireplace and a bright dining space, the house feels both homely and refined. The rooftop terrace is the highlight – complete with barbecue, dining area and sun loungers – offering a spectacular setting for alfresco meals and long, sunlit afternoons above the beach. With thoughtful touches including a welcome hamper, complimentary toiletries, daily housekeeping and private concierge service, it makes coastal living feel effortless.

The Locale
Salema is a coastal village where white-walled houses meet golden sands and cobbled streets wind down to the sea. Life here moves to the rhythm of the tides – fishing boats returning with vibrant colours, nets being cleaned for the next day, and the gentle hush of waves on the shore. From Estrela do Mar you can wander straight onto the beach, explore traditional restaurants, or simply soak up the tranquillity of this picturesque corner of the Algarve. With its golden beach, charming lanes and natural serenity, Salema is a place to slow down and savour the simple beauty of the coast.
