O Pássaro – An Architectural Masterpiece at Quinta das Salinas
Perched in a frontline position overlooking the Ria Formosa and the iconic Quinta do Lago boardwalk, O Pássaro is a striking new-build villa that seamlessly blends contemporary architecture with nature’s finest backdrop. Designed by acclaimed architect Jamie Coutinho, this exceptional residence takes its name – The Bird – from its graceful shape and flowing lines, a design that offers both elegance and functionality in perfect harmony.
Set within a private and exclusive entrance, the property welcomes you with a grand calçada driveway, ample parking, and two covered carports on either side of the villa. Landscaping has been thoughtfully curated with low-water planting, in keeping with the villa’s environmentally conscious ethos. A serene covered courtyard with water features and flamingo sculptures sets the tone for what lies within.
The villa’s main entrance leads into a bright hallway with stair and lift access to all levels, ensuring convenience throughout. The ground floor hosts five beautifully appointed bedroom suites, each with generous proportions, stylish en-suite bathrooms, and direct access to the pool terrace via floor-to-ceiling sliding doors. To one side lies a spacious master suite with full bath en-suite and a further guest bedroom with en-suite, while the remaining 3 guest bedrooms are thoughtfully arranged for comfort and privacy on the opposite side the building again with stunning large patio doors each directly leading to the pool area.
At the heart of this level is a family relaxation zone, perfectly connected to the poolside terrace. A discreet laundry and refreshment station, complete with dishwasher, ensures effortless entertaining by the pool.
Upstairs, the villa’s frontline position truly comes alive. A state-of-the-art kitchen with direct access to expansive terraces provides the perfect setting for al fresco dining. At the centre of this level is a stunning all-year dining room, designed around a natural lightwell and framed by glass, drawing the eye to uninterrupted views of the Ria Formosa, the Atlantic Ocean, and you can see Gigi’s in the distance.
A large entertainment lounge opens to yet another generous terrace with multiple seating areas, ensuring the home flows seamlessly between indoor and outdoor living. Natural tones and extensive glazing allow the home to blend with its surroundings while maximising light and solar gain.
Accessible by lift or stairs, the roof terrace offers perhaps the most breath-taking views of all. Complete with a fully plumbed summer kitchen and BBQ station, it is the ultimate spot for sunset gatherings against a panoramic backdrop of sea, lagoon, and protected nature reserve.
The vast lower level provides extraordinary flexibility. Designed to accommodate a cinema, gym, guest annex, office, and further bedroom, this floor ensures the villa adapts to any lifestyle or family dynamic. A self-contained guest apartment with kitchen, living space, and independent access is ideal for visitors or extended family. Abundant storage solutions are cleverly integrated throughout.
The swimmers’ pool, with dual-entry steps designed not to disrupt lengths, is the centrepiece of the sun-soaked terrace. Expansive lounging areas, shaded retreats, and al fresco dining zones make the outdoor living as captivating as the interiors.
From your doorstep, enjoy walking, cycling, or running along the famous Quinta do Lago boardwalk, linking you directly to Ancão Beach and the vibrant lifestyle of The Quinta do Lago Resort & Sports Campus. Michelin-starred dining, boutique shopping, and world-class golf are all just minutes away.
O Pássaro is more than a villa – it is a statement of architectural artistry, privacy, and connection to one of the Algarve’s most sought-after landscapes.
