If you and your entourage require more room and privacy, VILA VITA Parc has five private Masterpiece Villas, each with a pool and outstanding ocean views. Being on the VILA VITA Parc property, guests of these villas may take advantage of all the services the resort has to offer.
Villas in the VILA VITA Collection are in exclusive ocean-front clifftop or beachside locations, and managed by the resort ensuring the highest level of comfort, style and service.
Gastronomy is an important feature of the VILA VITA Parc experience. The resort has 11 restaurants offering a variety of cuisines, each with a unique ambiance. At the Piazetta, Adega serves superb traditional Portuguese cuisine, in a rustic old world setting, where you can often enjoy fado and Portuguese guitar. At the elegant Atlântico, unobstructed ocean views from open terrace tables enhance the outstanding organic “Roots” menu. The Aladdin Grill with its Moorish palace architecture, specializes in premium meat and fish prepared in the open kitchen in the center of the restaurant. Mizu Teppanyaki featuring fine Japanese cuisine. Bela Vita offers a wide selection of international cuisine for lunch and dinner, as well as a lavish buffet for breakfast. For quick bites, the Oasis Bar, Café Bica, Pool Bar and Palm Bar are in convenient locations around the resort.
Certainly not to be missed is VILA VITA Parc’s very own Two Michelin Star Restaurant, Ocean. Since his arrival in 2007, Austrian chef Hans Neuner has transformed Ocean into one of Portugal’s most respected restaurants. His innovative approach to international cuisine using locally sourced fresh products earned him a Michelin star in 2009, and a second in 2011. He has also been named Portugal’s Chef of the Year in 2009 and 2012, and he received the Platinum Fork from Boa Cama Boa Mesa in 2019. Visit Ocean for exquisite haute cuisine and impeccable service.
Just outside of the resort are more unique dining experiences. The German VILA VITA Biergarten, in the nearby village of Porches, has authentic Bavarian specialties such as fresh homemade sausages, schnitzel, herring, pretzels and apfelstrudel. Wash it down with a large stein of Paulaner beer. Head to the beach in Armação de Pêra for fresh fish and seafood at the casual but stylish Arte Náutica and light salads, grilled meats, ceviches and paellas at Praia Dourada, and Mediterranean soul food at NANA on the Beach. The resort shuttle bus is always available to take you to both locations.
When it’s time to push away from the table and burn off some calories and relax, VILA VITA Parc has a plethora of entertainment options. There are no less than seven pools (one heated indoor, three outdoor–one adult only–and three for children) for swimming and splashing. Just a few steps away is a secluded beach with fine sand and refreshing Atlantic waves. The 18-hole putting and 9-hole pitch course, as well as the volleyball and five tennis courts keep the athletically-inclined content. There’s even a play area designed for endless fun for the young ones.
For relaxing, rejuvenating and revitalizing, the resort offers not one, but two different wellness facilities. Exclusive to Portugal is VILA VITA Spa by Sisley Paris (above right). The French skin care company combines an advanced scientific approach with pure natural ingredients. Also exclusive in Portugal is VILA VITA Parc’s HYPOXI-Studio. This unique and effective method for weight loss is based on a specifically-designed training program and a balanced nutrition plan. It is truly an innovative approach to body shaping.
When it’s time to splurge on luxury, VILA VITA Parc knows what you need. The 72-foot Princess yacht features a spacious lounge and dining area, galley, as well as three guest cabins. It can be reserved for half- or full-day excursions, or book your very own mini-voyage. Back on land, the resort’s Bentley can be reserved for special trips in the region or VIP transfers to the airport. And, wine enthusiasts are in for a treat when they make plans for a tasting session or private dining in VILA VITA Parc’s Cave de Vinhos. This hidden cellar boasts 11,000 bottles of wine from Portugal and around the world.
VILA VITA Parc has child care services too. The Nursery and Natalie’s Créche (ages 1-to-3 years) operate on hourly, half-day and full-day rates. Children of 4-to-11 years will enjoy Annabella’s Kids Park, with sports in the resort’ s grounds, arts & craft, activities inside an air-conditioned room, and theme parties in the evenings.
