Rent, work and live in the sunny Algarve, Portugal during our Northern winter? Tell me more....!

AIPP member, Destination Algarve, is based in Lagos and has been operating since 2004 specialising in luxury property rentals and management. The company is led by business partners Sean (founder) and Carol who have extensive experience in customer-focused businesses in the UK & Europe and a combined total of over 30 years’ experience in property-related industries in Portugal.

Before the long-term changes in working behavioural patterns that Covid ushered-in, ‘snow birds’, mainly from Northern Europe and Canada, were already heading south in winter to work remotely in the warm and pleasant Algarve. Lagos has become a popular destination for its year-round buzz (and not just a summer-based touristic trade) and today (as we write, 29th November) the temperature is a very pleasant 20 degrees.

Lagos is the largest city in the western Algarve with a permanent population of 31,000+ people. Despite its popularity, it has not succumbed to mass tourism and still retains its distinctive character and Portuguese charm. Found along its cobbled streets of whitewashed buildings are trendy bars and restaurants that sit harmoniously next to traditional Portuguese cafes and family-run shops. Plenty of outdoor living, life and vitality (if you want it!), even in winter. And if you know about golf….then you already know there are many great courses to play here!

Modern, spacious apartments can be rented in downtown Lagos from just €1,800 a month with out-of-season and other long-term discounts applicable, depending on the property. Take a look at this lovely and inexpensive property available through Destination Algarve.

When you consider that your UK power and heating utility bill could easily be £500 a month and perhaps only €75 a month in the Algarve, the numbers certainly start to quickly add-up.

If you increase your budget to €2,200 a month, then more spacious options start to open-up, with this 2-bedroom example, again from Destination Algarve. 

If your budget extends to €5000+ a month then a 4 bedroom villa is within reach. With a heated private pool, many are in a great location just a few minutes from the Marina, town, and the main beach of Lagos (Meia Praia). This property is available for longer-term rentals (from 1 to 8 months between October and May) at heavily discounted rates and is ideal for those who are interested in staying in the Algarve for an extended period, including those seeking winter sunshine and/or a safe place to work remotely.
