Real Marina Residence offers a selection of spacious self-catering apartments. Located in the Algarve in Olhao, a small town which has retained its traditional feel, the residences are situated in front of the marina, a short ferry ride from the beautiful Ria Formosa Natural Park. They benefit from exclusive access to a rooftop pool, as well as additional facilities at the neighbouring sister hotel, Real Marina Hotel & Spa.

Sat directly opposite Olhao Marina, the apartments are steps from water views, as well as the selection of restaurants and bars offered in the marina. Waterways link the marina to Ria Formosa Natural Park – a group of sandbank islands with pretty, natural beaches which can be accessed via a short ferry ride. The residences are roughly 900 metres from the centre of Olhao, a traditional fishing town with cobbled streets and Moroccan-influenced architecture – home to popular fresh food markets, a 17th Century church and a local museum detailing the town’s history. Faro International Airport is just under nine miles away.

One, two and three-bedroom apartments vary slightly in decor, with some offering a natural stone colour scheme and others featuring striking dark feature walls paired with pale blush curtains. They have a living room and a fully equipped kitchen with a dishwasher, oven, stove, fridge, toaster, coffee machine, kettle and microwave. They also have a balcony offering partial views of Ria Formosa Natural Park.
