With a privileged location, everything is within walking distance from this residential development 5 SENSES, 350 m from Praia dos 3 Castelos, in Portimão.

Portimão, the second largest city in the Algarve and the capital of the Barlavento, was traditionally a center of shipbuilding, sardine fishing, and fish processing. It has everything to offer: shops, restaurants, and services.
The apartment is within walking distance of all amenities, particularly the traditional Portuguese restaurants, known for serving the best grilled fish in all of the Algarve and for hosting the famous “Sardine Festival” of Portimão, very close to the vibrant riverside life and in the heart of the central/western Algarve. The emblematic Praia da Rocha, just a few minutes' walk away, is one of the most popular seaside resorts in the Algarve and has a vast stretch of golden sand (1.5 kilometers), crystal-clear waters that reflect a myriad of shades of blue, and is surrounded by an idyllic landscape, with the whimsical rocks that give it its name.
On the beach, it is possible to stroll along the wooden paths laid out along the sand. Next to them, you will find a variety of bars and restaurants and even a zone reserved for beach sports, highlighting the venue where the 12 teams that will simultaneously compete in the Mundialito and the second phase of the LEFP - European Beach Soccer League are located. Up here, along the avenue quay and up to the Portimão Marina, you will find a wide variety of accommodations, restaurants, and bars, most with terraces and outdoor tables, nightclubs, and a casino.
You will be pleasantly surprised by the fabulous panoramic view over the coastline, appreciated to the east from the fortress of Santa Catarina de Ribamar, built in 1633 during the reign of King Philip III (King Philip IV of Spain), proposed by the Italian engineer Alexandre Massai, to defend the Arade river bar, and to the west from the promontory of the Três Castelos. The natural landscape is breathtaking.
