St James is situated on the West side of the attractive resort of Praia Da Luz, overlooking a quiet residential area. This apartment was completed early 2006 and is only a few minutes walk from the wide Sandy Beach, shops and restaurants. There
is a small on site supermarket with a surprisingly large range of products,
including freshly baked bread and croissants. The restaurant is planned
for opening later in 2007 and will have terrace seating and views of the
pools and garden. There is a children’s play area, which has a range
of adventure equipment with safety flooring throughout. There are currently
two large pools available, one for adults and one for children, both having
ample terrace space for sun bathing with landscaped gardens around. There is still some Building Work being carried out on site, although all major work is now finished. Further work to remove the sales office and the construction of a further 2 pools and adjacent landscaping will continue to the end of 2007. Our greatly discounted rental cost for the apartment for the 2007 season reflects this continued development. |
There is a beautiful sandy beach, perfect for sun bathing and water sports, and Luz beach sports the European blue flag indicating clean sand and clean water. To the east of town, you find some spectacular cliffs and among them the prominent black rock Rocha Negra. This is an intrusion of lava produced from the volcanoes of Monchique some 135 million to 190 million years ago. Luz has a history of occupation firstly by the Carthaginians and then by the Romans and there are the remains of fish salting vats and a roman villa to visit. For Golfers there are 4 golf courses within 5 – 20 minutes drive, and there are daytrip coaches from Luz to the Water Parks and dolphin park. Luz is just 8 minutes west of the larger historic town of Lagos which provides great sightseeing, plenty of shopping, good night life, and a large established marina.
