  Nice, big and fully equipped apartment with a great view, and in a quiet resort and neighborhood

  15 Apr 2025

  Mar da Luz has very nice apartments. The apartments at the ground floor have a private swimming pool, the ones at the first floor have a big terrace with nice view over the ocean. Our apartment was big with two sleeping rooms and two bath rooms. The kitchen was fully equipped with oven, microwave, dishwasher, two coffee machines (filter and capsules) and a toaster. There was a big smart TV and airco / heating system. Next to the big terrace (with the view over the ocean), there were also two smaller terraces. There is also a hot tub, but it seemed a bit old and not clean (so we didn't use it).The reception is located in the central building, next to a small fitness room (with some cardio machines, one (rather old) multi-function machine and enough dumbbells to keep your musles fit) and a spa area (with a small but nice indoor swimming pool, a hot tub and a nice sauna). The personnel and cleaning staff were really friendly. We arrived after reception hours and it was not so easy to find the resort, but the communication and explanation was good, and we could enter the resort and our room without any problems. Wifi connection was good and fast. The garage has very small parking spots and a narrow entrance. Luckily we got a different parking spot which was a (bit) bigger.The resort is located in a very quiet neighborhood, 5 km out of the center of Luz. We were not in high season which could explain why it was also so quiet in the resort itself (it has 15 rooms, 6 were occupied when we were there in April). There are some restaurants close-by, but you need a car (or bike) to get there.

  Mar da Luz Terrace

  25 Aug 2019

  We stayed in the apartment for a long weekend. The apartment was very clean and had everything that we needed. We ate on the terrace in the mornings and evenings. Frederica couldn’t have been more helpful - arranged our transfers and offered suggestions for places to eat and to visit. The walks along the coast were stunning. We would definitely go back again.

  Lovely Apartment

  03 Oct 2018

  Beautiful apartment on a well maintained complex. Spent a week here a group of 5 and had plenty of room. Unfortunately they had a fire in the sauna so we couldn't use the spa facilities whilst there but it was beyond anyone's control. It's a bit of a trek into Luz even using the coastal path it's a good 40 minutes over rough ground. We walked once but got taxis after that as looked like I'd been dragged through a hedge by the time we got to town. Get a taxi around €10 each way.Nice and quite very relaxing really enjoyed our stay.

  Fabulous accommodation

  15 Aug 2018

  The 3 bedroom apartment we rented was clean , spacious , modern and very well equipped with all appliances you’d need for a self catering holiday. We had ample outside space with a private pool, outside dining area and a large decking area too. The complex itself was very well kept , always clean and tidy . We found the Reception staff to be helpful and accommodating. The communal pool area was fairly small but adequate for the size of the complex . We didn’t use either the gym or indoor pool area but again both were well maintained and adequate size for the complex. We had no problems using the security gate . There is ample parking just outside the gate if not using the private underground car park. Mar da Luz is situated in a quiet area between Luz and Burgau , we drove to Luz for supplies , there are 2 supermarkets in Luz : Baptista and Spar. We found Baptista really handy , not the cheapest , but a good choice of local and international foods. The bakery, butcher , fruit and deli counters offer a good variety of fresh quality produce. While there we often grabbed a coffee and pastry from the cafe and sat outside while having them . Luz and Burgau are both walkable from Mar da Luz , approx 35 mins . google maps is good to find the paths and roads to reach Luz or just using the coastal path in either direction. The paths can be a little rough to walk on where not paved but we managed fine with just sandals.The views are fabulous . Either can also be reached by walking up onto the main road too. Along the main road heading into Luz there are a couple of restaurants within 5-10 minute walk. Tomik and Lubelia. We found Luz to be a small town , with plenty of restaurants but quickly realised it was easier to book ahead to get a table . We found Dolphin, YOLO and Boatys all to serve great food with good service too. Tomik was nearby , it was good but a more casual menu . Burgau is smaller , but still has a few choices . Burgau Beach Bar is particularly popular and you will need to make a reservation in advance if wanting to eat there on an evening . For a livelier day or night with far more choice Lagos is a further 10 minute drive away We got taxis back from Luz on an evening for just a few euros , there is a taxi rank near the church but restaurants are happy to call one for you too. Would recommend a stay at Mar da Luz

  Another great trip :)

  Stayed there for a second time and just as my first experience I absolutely loved it!Nice and quiet location, outdoor and indoor pool, south facing balcony large enough to party and a walking distance to the ocean. Great apartment with everything you need for a short stay. Highly recommend it again.Joanna
