We had an amazing stay at this villa! The property is spacious, modern, and very well-maintained, with everything we needed for a relaxing holiday. The private pool and outdoor dining area were perfect for enjoying the Algarve sunshine. The location was great, close to beautiful beaches, restaurants, and shops, yet in a peaceful setting. Can't wait to come back!

Perfect location and relaxing atmosphere
We had a wonderful stay at Villa Maldives. The house is very spacious, clean, and well-equipped with everything we needed. The location is unbeatable, walking distance to two amazing beaches, great restaurants, and a supermarket. We especially loved the private pool and the rooftop terrace, where we watched the sunset every evening. No car needed, which was a huge bonus!

Comfortable and well-located villa in Galé
This villa was a great choice for our Algarve trip. Very clean, well-furnished, and everything worked perfectly. The pool was a highlight, as well as the rooftop terrace for evening drinks. Having three bathrooms made everything easier with kids. It’s close to both Galé and São Lourenço beaches, and we walked to dinner most nights. A lovely place to stay for a sunny break!

Ideal villa for a family holiday
Villa Maldives is exactly what we were looking for. The three bedrooms all with private bathrooms made our stay super comfortable. The kitchen had all the appliances we needed, and the living room with direct access to the pool area was great for relaxing after the beach. The barbecue area was perfect for our family dinners. Everything was close by, and the neighborhood was peaceful. We’ll definitely return!
I loved the peace and quiet in the area. The location had everthing we needed in walking distance. Customer service was fab. Villa was great but needs some tlc to be up to standard expected

Perfect
Villa Maldives was simply perfect for our family holiday! The location is fantastic, with incredible beaches and great restaurants just a short walk away. The house is spacious, very well equipped, and super comfortable, especially with all the en-suite bedrooms. The private pool and the rooftop terrace with sunset views were our favorite spots. We loved preparing meals on the barbecue and relaxing in the outdoor area. Easy internet access and proximity to everything we needed made our stay even more convenient. Highly recommend, and we can't wait to return!

Great location, villa needs attention
Not a lot to love at Villa Maldives except having a pool (and a nice pool man) and the neighborhood—the pictures misrepresent what's inside, from the pergola on the patio that does not exist, to a dirty tablecloth draped on top of a dirty old couch, and stained and uncomfortable furniture. The cleaning crew missed several spots. Etc. Etc. My concerns were heard but the way this property manager is structured it's clear local employees who are perfectly friendly have no power to address things beyond offering to clean again.
The check in process is absurd. I had to upload a selfie of myself holding passport and was told the Portuguese government requires this, yet no other hotel or villa in Portugal requested this of me. A friend came to visit and I had to do the same for his papers, but there was no way to share the link to have him do it himself. The "mandatory check-in welcome" is a sales pitch for group tours and was scheduled for me on my own vacation. It felt like having to do work for them. This company needs serious updating to its business practices and some training in how to treat people, including its employees, with respect and dignity. Absolutely will not rent with this company ever again.

Lovely family holiday at Villa Maldives!
We loved the house, and the outdoor spaces were absolutely wonderful. Having all three bedrooms with their own en suite bathrooms provided excellent comfort and privacy for the whole family. The kids spent hours in the private pool at the back, and the rooftop terrace was the perfect spot for watching the beautiful Algarve sunsets in the evening. The location in Galé is brilliant, being so close to gorgeous beaches like São Lourenço and within easy walking distance of local shops.
