Take the small ferry across the lagoon (five minutes) and you reach the miles and miles of sand, sun and sea of Isla de Armona. There is a restaurant and facilities where you land. The beach has white sand, clean warm water, and is backed by dunes - one of the very best in Europe. Most of the beach is empty even in peak season.

What a beautiful house + cottage in a superb location.
Louise and Malcolm July 2006
What a wonderful place. We’ve loved the beaches, the villages and the countryside, but nothing has surpassed the lazy mornings and leisurely afternoons, cooling off playing games in the pool. The long candle lit suppers and laughter around the pool side table; watching shooting stars from the roof terrace on moon-less nights. The day long heat, finding refuge in shady rooms, the country side sounds, the cloudless skies, the solitude – that all make up Cerro das Ondas.
