Bodyguard in the Algarve
Where families settle, not just visit.
The Golden Triangle is no longer a holiday coast - it is permanent residence, and the security question changes with it: school runs and golf mornings matter as much as galas. Licensed protection built for how families actually live here, from gated estates to marinas, integrated with our Portugal concierge programme.
Quiet coast, real exposures.
Estate & Villa Exposure
High-value villas behind gates but with seasonal staffing and predictable routines.

Summer Crowd Surges
Beach clubs, restaurants and roads that triple their density from June to September.
Recognisable Residents
Sports figures and public families whose villas and routines attract photographers.

EnquireWhy protection in the Algarve must be licensed.
In Portugal, private security is governed by Lei 34/2013, with personal security officers (segurança-pessoal) certified and the PSP providing oversight. Protection is delivered through licensed firms.
Algoz coordinates protection across the Algarve exclusively through this licensed framework, with every operative licensed, NDA-bound and discreet. See how our close protection works, add concierge and secure transport, or extend across Lisbon, Porto and Marbella.
What protection in the Algarve costs.
As a guide, professional close protection in Portugal and southern Europe is, in 2026, from EUR 850 per day for a single principal on twelve-hour cover - the market base - with the final rate shaped by the profile, the threat picture and the season, and confirmed on enquiry with no obligation. Specialist profiles, armed or armoured requirements, short-notice mobilisation and peak summer season carry a premium. Read our full close protection pricing guide, how a security driver works, and how modern close protection is run.

Protecting celebrities & public figures
Actors, musicians, athletes, royals and the people the world recognises - celebrity protection is its own discipline: anti-paparazzi strategy, leak-proof operations, crowd and stalker management, and details that switch from red carpet to invisible in the same day.
