Vila Vita Parc Resort & Spa

With Portugal’s first Sisley spa, a golf course, a beach club, six stylish bars, and ten excellent restaurants, including the two-MICHELIN-star Ocean, Vila Vita Parc is a destination in itself. It’s been one of the Algarve’s most luxurious getaways since opening in 1992, and frequent renovations have kept things looking fresh. Crisp whitewashed buildings house rooms, suites, and villas with spacious layouts, gleaming parquet floors, elegant blue and white decor, and charming details like traditional hand-painted pottery made in the nearby village of Porches. All have private outdoor terraces with views of the sea or the flower gardens; clifftop villas feature infinity pools and several levels of living and dining space.
