Vila Vita Parc
A clifftop Algarve resort on more than 50 acres of gardens, with beach access and a dozen restaurants including Michelin-starred Ocean.
Vila Vita Parc spreads across more than 50 acres of gardens on the clifftops at Porches, in the central Algarve, with steps down to a sandy beach. It is a self-contained resort: several pools, a large spa, tennis, a kids' club and about a dozen restaurants, led by the Michelin-starred Ocean. Rooms, suites and villas are spread across distinct areas and reached by buggy. Only the Residence has direct ocean views, while the villas give the most privacy. Faro airport is about 45 minutes away.
Booked through me, your stay at Vila Vita Parc includes Virtuoso benefits.

Good to know

- The two-bedroom layouts are semi-open, which suits some families better than others.
- The resort is large, so I request a room close to the pools or the beach for young children.
