Set among the quiet countryside just outside Lagos, Casa Arte is a private six-bedroom villa in Portugal’s Algarve, designed for intimate destination weddings with a strong sense of calm and privacy. Offered on an exclusive-hire basis, this minimalist retreat pairs contemporary architecture with landscaped gardens and space for multi-day celebrations, making it an ideal choice for couples seeking a refined, flexible setting where quality, freedom and time together matter most.
About Casa Arte Lagos
Casa Arte was created as a private home rather than a traditional events venue, and that ethos shapes the experience here. The villa spans over 350 square metres and sits within two acres of landscaped gardens filled with pine trees, palms, olive trees and fruit trees, creating a secluded setting that feels quietly removed from the busier parts of the Algarve.
Interiors are intentionally pared back: white walls, mineral concrete floors and subtle designer furniture create a light, peaceful atmosphere that allows couples to shape the space around their own aesthetic. Large windows and private terraces flood the rooms with natural light, while shared indoor and outdoor living areas encourage guests to settle in and feel at home.
Casa Arte is available for exclusive hire only, with a minimum stay of four nights outside July and August, and weekly rentals during peak summer months. Weddings can host up to 50 guests, with accommodation on site for 12 guests across six bedrooms. The venue suits couples planning small to medium-sized destination weddings who value privacy, simplicity and a carefully curated experience over pre-set packages.
Ceremonies
Ceremonies at Casa Arte can take place within the gardens, where open lawns and mature trees provide a natural backdrop that feels relaxed yet considered. The setting works well for couples looking for an outdoor ceremony that feels personal and unrushed, with space for guests to gather comfortably without feeling staged or formal.
Casa Arte is licensed to host legally recognised ceremonies, including same-sex weddings. While there is no in-house planner, the venue can introduce couples to a trusted network of local planners and suppliers who are familiar with the property and can help manage logistics, styling and timings. A dedicated bridal changing room is available on site, allowing preparations to stay centred at the villa.
Receptions & Celebrations
A wedding day at Casa Arte typically unfolds across several outdoor spaces, allowing celebrations to flow naturally from one moment to the next. After the ceremony, drinks can be served in the gardens or by the pool, where guests can take in the surrounding greenery and settle into the pace of the day.
Dinner can be hosted under the pergola, which seats up to 12 for more intimate gatherings, or arranged elsewhere on the property for larger receptions with hired tables and lighting. As evening sets in, the atmosphere shifts easily into a relaxed celebration, with music, dancing and conversation continuing into the night, subject to local sound regulations and agreed timings.
The villa’s flexible layout makes it particularly well suited to multi-day weddings, with welcome dinners, poolside lunches or farewell brunches all comfortably accommodated within the same setting.
Accommodation
Casa Arte offers accommodation for up to 12 guests across six bedrooms, each designed with a minimalist aesthetic and private terraces opening onto garden or countryside views. Rooms are spacious and light-filled, with modern bathrooms and understated finishes that prioritise comfort and calm.
Shared living spaces include indoor lounges, a fireplace, and outdoor dining areas, encouraging guests to spend time together throughout the stay. The villa is equipped with underfloor heating, Wi-Fi, a SONOS sound system, laundry facilities and family-friendly touches such as a high chair, baby bed and children’s beds, making it suitable for mixed-age guest groups.
Catering
Casa Arte is offered as a venue-only rental, giving couples full freedom to design their dining experience. Catering and bar services are arranged independently, with the venue providing recommendations for trusted local caterers and suppliers who understand the logistics of the property.
This flexibility allows for a wide range of styles, from relaxed shared dining to more formal seated meals, depending on the couple’s vision. Alcohol distribution is permitted, and menus can be tailored to accommodate dietary requirements, cultural preferences and multi-day celebrations across different spaces within the villa.
