Nestled between the Algarvian hills of São Brás de Alportel and the sea, Âmago is a six-bedroom guesthouse with serene gardens and a refreshing saltwater pool.

Âmago is a passion project brought to life by couple Liz and Alex Harvey, who traded city life in London for the slower-paced Algarve. They have transformed a characterful property into a modern guesthouse that captures the tranquil essence of the region.

With curated local experiences, from dining recommendations to workshops, it's all about living the Algarve, not just visiting it. Its location makes a great base to get to know the lesser-known foothills of the Algarve, away from tourist crowds, yet relatively close to everything for those who love to explore.
