More than just a top-rated boutique hotel experience, the Vila Joya proudly offers guests an idyllic seaside retreat in the Algarve where every detail reflects the height of luxury.
EXPERIENCE
The cliffside Vila Joya shelters Portugal's only restaurant awarded two stars from the prestigious Michelin Guide. Don't hesitate: no trip to Vila Joya is complete without trying this sumptuous Portuguese cuisine.
Perched at the southern tip of Portugal's Algarve region near Albufeira, the hotel has maintained Moorish architectural notes, visible in simple, clean lines, and the use of arches to frame spaces in light and shadow. Portuguese "azulejos," delicate tiles painted in the traditional style, line the bathrooms, while the neutral tones of the guest rooms (running from 200 to 2000 sq. ft.) pick up the bright sunshine. Watch for furniture by Fendi and beauty products by Molton Brown.
The Vila Joya Golf Academy is another international attraction. Players from beginner to expert come here for detailed video analysis of their swing from the friendly and down-to-earth instructors. After your game, why not head to the Joy Jung spa for the latest in Ayurvedic treatments?
