Since opening its doors in 1992, Vila Vita Parc has been at the top of its game, consistently winning awards and attracting those in the know. Now a member of ‘The Leading Hotels of The World’, it’s perched on dramatic cliffs with lush gardens and panoramic views of the Atlantic. With plenty of space to roam, the resort offers that rare combination of feeling expansive yet intimate (very reminiscent of a traditional Portuguese village), where the only thing more plentiful than the breathtaking views are the resident birdlife and the calming green spaces.
For families, this is where everyone can have their own kind of holiday. Kids can dive into fun at the Kids’ Club or crèche, while adults can sneak off to the Sisley Spa for a bit of well-deserved indulgence. With six pools on-site, there’s always a spot to relax—whether you’re looking for a quiet retreat or a lively atmosphere.
Then there’s the food. With 10 restaurants, including the two-Michelin-star Ocean, you’ll quickly realise that here, every meal is a reason to celebrate. At Ocean, the tasting menus highlight local ingredients—often sourced from the resort’s own organic estate—delivering a dining experience that’s second to none. For an extra slice of luxury, take the resort’s private yacht out and cruise along the spectacular Algarve coastline.
Whether you’re indulging in Michelin-starred dining, unwinding in the spa, or soaking up the serene surroundings, Vila Vita Parc delivers a stay that’s nothing short of spectacular. Because here, the art of relaxation is perfected, but it doesn’t hurt to throw in a little adventure.
Vila Vita Parc is ideally located along the stunning Algarve coast, just a 40-minute drive from Faro Airport, making it incredibly easy to arrive and start unwinding. Tucked away in a peaceful corner of Porches, the resort offers a perfect blend of seclusion and accessibility. While it feels like a private retreat, you’re still close to the charming local towns, like Armação de Pêra, where you can explore traditional Portuguese culture and coastal charm. The surrounding area is a dream for nature lovers and beach enthusiasts alike, with several pristine beaches nearby, including Praia da Marinha—often rated among the most beautiful beaches in the world.
