The “Grand Dame” of Portuguese hotels, this selfcontained luxury resort offers traditional décor combined with excellent tried and tested service levels and delicious food.
The architecture is Moorish in style to blend in naturally with the surroundings, and is complemented by a myriad of fountains and paved walkways.
The renovation of 60 suites in Oasis Parc will be completed in phases over two years ( to avoid any disruption during high season). The suites being renovated are located in two-storey Oasis Parc buildings, close to the golf course and overlooking the ocean.
These new One Bedroom Roof Top Suites are a special addition to the resort and will have a private roof top terrace with Jacuzzi, hammock and daybeds.
There is much to do from the great spa facilities with an indoor pool, pitch & putt and tennis courts to exclusive private yacht excursions along the coastline and seasonal water sports. Children are superbly catered for and family-based leisure is a priority.
Gourmets will love the tempting restaurants on offer from the relaxed Adega serving regional dishes and specialities, to
the grilled options at Aladin Grill. Wine enthusiasts can enjoy tasting sessions in the traditional wine cellar.
Day trips to the resort’s private estate can be arranged where you can enjoy tours around the vineyard, go horse riding or hire pedaloes to explore the beautiful lake. VILA VITA Parc Resort & Spa is a member of The Leading Hotels of the World.

Think of the Algarve in Southern Portugal and most people think of its endless beaches and fabulous climate, which is mild in winter and yet cooled by sea breezes in the heat of summer.
However there is much more to the Algarve than just sun and sea. It has a unique charm which derives from the warmth of its people, its Moorish influence and the rich diversity of its majestic landscapes.
Portugal’s beautiful coastlines are characterised by miles of superb sandy beaches, pretty fishing villages with winding narrow streets and some of Europe’s best golf courses. Further inland you will find idyllic white-washed Moorish towns that shimmer in the sunlight over olive and orange groves and brightly coloured, verdant hillsides.
The area is home to some of Europe’s most established luxuryresorts which have excellent facilities and settings. A haven for sports enthusiasts, you can enjoy all manner of activities from golfing on the championship golf courses to sailing, surfing and water-skiing to a day at the world class tennis clubs. If you want to take some time out to enjoy some Portuguese culture you will find it in abundance in the pretty town of Tavira with its Roman Bridge or Lagos with a historic centre surrounded by 14th century walls.
Head further north to Lisbon, a vibrant and welcoming city with a vast amount of culture to experience. Tucked away from the main Atlantic coast line, it enjoys a temperate climate and is home to some beautiful hotels.
Airport
Faro International.
Flying Time
