Vila Vita Parc Resort & Spa

Vila Vita Parc Resort & Spa

Algarve, Portugal

Set in extensive clifftop grounds overlooking the ocean, Vila Vita Parc is an upscale, resort-style property with direct access to a secluded beach. While the amenities, facilities and spacious subtropical gardens suggest a far larger resort, there are only 203 rooms here allowing Vila Vita Parc to maintain excellent service levels and provide a more intimate and sophisticated resort stay.

The property caters for couples and families with accommodation spread across three buildings and a wide variety of activities to suit many interests. The main building and the adult-only Residence have chic, spacious rooms for couples, while the Oasis Parc caters well for families with a children's pool and suites than can accommodate up to four. Decor throughout is bright and contemporary with clean lines, traditional Portuguese azulejo tiles and a comfortable but uncluttered style.

You can choose to do as much or as little as you like while here with plenty of quiet corners to unwind in as well as multiple swimming pools, a large gym, spa, golf, tennis and numerous water sports. There are also six bars and ten restaurants, ranging from casual beachside dining to a fine dining option with two Michelin stars.

OUR OPINION:

The range of facilities at Vila Vita Parc is unrivaled in the area, and we like that they are able to cater equally well to couples and families looking for a sophisticated base.
