THE ALGARVE: Try an Algarve Villa Holiday for a Getaway That Isn’t At All Taxing

Planning a summer holiday or late spring getaway doesn’t have to be taxing – not even if you’re one of the 750,000 Britons facing a higher rate of taxation thanks to last week’s Budget. The Chancellor may have announced almost 1 million will be moved into the 40% tax bracket but, you can still save a fortune by choosing an Algarve villa holiday and planning a fun self-catering break for this summer.

The annual Post Office study into best value holiday locations pegged Portugal as the cheapest family holiday destination anywhere in the world for 2011. That means that great value essentials in the resort, affordable accommodation and pocket-friendly holiday luxuries regardless of what this year’s Coalition Budget means for your personal finances.

If you’re already thinking about where to take your family this summer, Vale do Lobo in the beautiful Algarve is a top pick. The resort, smack bang in the middle of the ‘Golden Triangle’ is home to miles of sandy beaches, water sports aplenty, boutique shopping, delicious restaurants and bars and world class golf and tennis facilities.

Premier Holidays specialised in villas in the Algarve and has a number of properties in Vale do Lobo, all suitable for family holidays. Choose from a selection of apartments, townhouses and villas in Vale do Lobo. With private pools and stunning views, it might even be a stretch to tear yourself away and head out to explore.

Top picks include Vista Bonita, one of the most popular villas in Premier Holiday’s Algarve villa portfolio. With sweeping views from the roof terrace, the two bedroom property is a stone’s throw from the sea and La Praca – the hip beachside shopping area.

If you’re planning on travelling with a larger group of family and friends, the self-contained Algarve Villa Cipres  is the epitome of luxury. With five bedrooms, the cost of the property can be split between guests, making for a high end break on a budget. With a large heated pool, separate splash pool, gardens and patios, you’ll never want to leave.
