ABOUT US
People who actually live here.
Pura Living Algarve grew out of a simple belief: home shouldn't be complicated, even when everything involved in it is. We built a team that handles all of it, so you don't have to piece it together yourself.
Our Story
How we started & why we do it
Pura began as Pura Beauté Studio, a beauty studio built on one idea — that care, done properly, changes how a space and the people in it feel. Pura Living Algarve carries that same idea into the home. We manage properties, inspect them, build and renovate them, and sell them, all under one roof, because we believe the people who care for your home shouldn't be a different set of strangers at every step.
LOCAL, NOT DISTANT
We live and work in the Algarve. Every property we manage, inspect, or build is one we could walk to.
ONE TEAM, EVERY STEP
Management, inspections, development, and sales are handled by the same people — no handoffs, no lost context.
HONEST ALWAYS
We tell you what's actually true about a property, even when it's not what you were hoping to hear.
PART OF THE PORA FAMILY
Sister brand to Pura Beauté Studio in Marina de Lagos, and in design partnership with Indigo Sun.
"We treat every property the way we'd want our own home treated — cared for, not just managed."

The people behind every door

Lena
FOUNDER
Lena leads Pura Living Algarve with the same eye for quiet, considered detail she brings to Pura Beauté Studio and to Indigo Sun, the interior design studio she co-founded with Leah. Her approach is simple: every property, whether managed, inspected, built, or sold, should be treated as though it were her own.

Leah
INTERIOR DESIGN PARTNER
Leah co-founded Indigo Sun with Lena and leads design on every Pura Living interior, bringing the same considered warmth to each home that guides the studio's design work across the Algarve.

Pete
3D VISUALIZER
Pete brings every development and renovation to life before the first wall comes down, creating exterior project visualizations that let owners see and shape a home's future long before it's built.
"Every project is also carried by our in-house trades team — carpenters, electricians, plasterers, and painters — working under John's direction to bring each build to life."
