A 17km sandbar with Atlantic ocean on one side and the calm Sado estuary on the other. Dolphins, pine forests, pristine beaches — and five villas that make the most of one of Europe's finest undiscovered coastlines.
Tróia is a genuine anomaly — a 17km sandbar peninsula accessible only by ferry or road through the Alentejo, which means it has escaped the mass tourism that has overtaken most of Portugal's coastline. Atlantic beaches on the west, calm estuary waters on the east, dolphins in the channel, pine forests throughout. These five villas range from family-friendly to full beachfront luxury with a private tennis court.
The most reviewed property on this page — rated 9.8 from 11 guests. A superb villa within 10 minutes walk of Atlântica Beach and Tróia Beach. The fenced pool is a genuine differentiator for families with young children — rare in the Tróia rental market. Outdoor dining, terrace, excellent interiors. The consistency of the 9.8 rating across 11 stays makes this the safest choice on this page for families.
Five bedrooms, private pool, games room and capacity for 12 — the group villa of this selection. On Tróia Beach, which means the Atlantic is immediately accessible. The games room is a meaningful addition for large groups with children or those travelling in mixed-age parties. A new listing without reviews yet — VRBO guarantee applies. The right choice for larger families or two families sharing who want a complete Tróia experience.
Three bedrooms, private patio and access to a communal pool in Soltroia — the residential development at the tip of the Tróia peninsula. Soltroia properties offer a different kind of Tróia experience: well-managed, secure and with shared amenities that add value beyond a standalone villa. A new listing without reviews yet — VRBO guarantee applies. A practical, well-priced option for smaller groups or couples who want the Tróia location without the premium of a private pool.
A modern villa for 8 guests with a generous private pool and BBQ, close to the beach. The Paraiso name is well-earned — this is a property that delivers the core Tróia promise: private pool, modern interiors, BBQ terrace and Atlantic beach within reach. A solid mid-range choice for groups of up to 8 who want a proper villa experience on the peninsula without the price point of the beachfront properties.
The standout of this selection — and one of the most exceptional villa rentals on the entire Costa Alentejana. Villa Aqua sits directly on the beachfront at Tróia, with a private pool, private tennis court and sea views from every principal room. Properties with private tennis courts on a beachfront position are genuinely rare at any price point. For those who want the absolute best that Tróia has to offer, this is it.
