"In southern Portugal, the Algarve is home to countless resorts — but none quite like Vila Vita Parc Resort & Spa , one of just two hotels to earn Three Keys in the country. Perched atop a cliff with breathtaking views of the Atlantic, here’s a spot that’s a true legend in Portuguese hospitality. With a legacy dating back to 1992, its white buildings blend traditional and modern design, marked by Moorish influences, wooden floors, hand-painted tiles, and bright, airy interiors that strike a rare balance: elegant yet deeply inviting. Amenities are too numerous to state here, but you can expect subtropical gardens, infinity pools, a private beach, and twelve restaurants — including Ocean (Two MICHELIN Stars)." - The MICHELIN Guide

"As one of only two Three-Key hotels in Portugal and the country’s top-rated stay, this Algarve retreat opened in 1992 and unfurls whitewashed buildings across 22 hectares of subtropical gardens, complete with fountains, swans and secluded accommodations, plus direct beach access, a spa, golf, tennis and water sports; with 12 restaurants on-site, it sets the stage for Porches’ culinary acclaim." - The MICHELIN Guide
"Perched above the cliffs of Porches in the Algarve, Vila Vita Parc Resort & Spa stands out as one of Portugal’s most complete and refined hotels. Opened in 1992 and continually updated, the resort combines direct access to a private beach with a wide array of wellness, leisure, and culinary offerings. It’s home to 12 restaurants and 7 bars—from the relaxed poolside Whale Bar to the Two MICHELIN Star fine dining restaurant Ocean. Set across lush gardens dotted with palm trees and lakes, the resort features Mediterranean-inspired architecture housing rooms, suites, and villas with sea-view terraces and handcrafted details like hand-painted ceramic tiles. It’s also the site of Portugal’s first Sisley Spa, offering an exclusive treatment menu developed by the French skincare brand, including botanical-based therapies. The extensive amenities include a golf course, beach club, gym, heated indoor pool, and water sports—striking a rare balance between Atlantic-front adventure and the comforts of a world-class luxury retreat." - The MICHELIN Guide
"Few resorts have as much on offer as Vila Vita Parc, which is one of the rare properties that cater to a large number of people, including families, but manages to feel peaceful and private. With an impressive 10 restaurants—including one with two Michelin stars—plus six bars, a golf course, and a Sisley spa, there’s enough to keep you occupied for a fortnight. Guests can choose from ocean or garden-view rooms, one-bedroom or family-sized, and even rooftop suites. Exteriors are unmistakably Portuguese, with whitewashed walls and blue accents throughout, but what really stands out here is the amount of space available to guests. While the resort welcomes all visitors, it’s undoubtedly a family-friendly property, with a Kids’ Club, on-site playground, and crèche available to look after babies from six months. There are six pools throughout the property and endless green space for young ones to enjoy. They share it with local birdlife, which lives on-site and makes for wonderful spotting opportunities for adults and kids alike."
