Few places in Portugal understand romance quite like Vila Vita Parc. This Valentine’s Day, the iconic Algarve resort turns February 14 into a beautifully choreographed celebration of togetherness—one that unfolds across candlelit tables, champagne-fueled toasts, ocean-view lunches, and deeply restorative spa rituals designed for two.
Giardino: Una Notte d’Amore
Italian romance takes center stage at Giardino, where Valentine’s Day channels the spirit of la dolce vita. Live music sets the mood for an evening built around sharing, indulgence, and lingering over plates that feel made for romance.
The special Valentine’s menu (€72 per person, drinks not included) begins with a generous selection of antipasti, followed by lobster ravioli served with bisque as primo. The secondo—veal involtini—leans into classic Italian comfort, before the evening ends on a theatrical high note: tiramisù affogato, finished tableside. For those who prefer to follow their own cravings, the à la carte menu remains available.
Oásis Bar: Champagne, Strawberries & Seduction
For couples who prefer their romance poured into a flute, Oásis Bar offers a Valentine’s setting that’s effortlessly chic. Live music accompanies a standout champagne selection—think Ruinart, Vranken, Laurent-Perrier, and Krug—served with fresh strawberries for an unmistakably celebratory touch.
Cocktail lovers can explore a menu of seductive signatures, each crafted with flair:
- Strawberry Kiss (€17)
- Ruby Passion Fizz (€17)
- True Love (€17)
- Sweetheart Champagne Cocktail (€29)
An elegant place to toast love, one sip at a time.
House Bar: Cocktails Finished by You
At House Bar, Valentine’s Day becomes an interactive ritual. Here, cocktails are created with you, not just for you. The bartender prepares the foundation, while the final flourish—aromatic sprays, edible flowers, or even gold—is left in your hands.
The Valentine’s selection includes four signature cocktails:
- Nitro Love (€17)
- Albahaca (€19)
- Tropical Flor (€22)
- Truffini (€17)
Each drink becomes a one-of-a-kind expression—part mixology, part shared moment.
Praia Dourada: Love by the Sea
For something lighter and sunlit, Valentine’s Day continues just outside the resort at Praia Dourada in Armação de Pêra. With uninterrupted ocean views, lunch here is all about relaxed indulgence and dishes designed to be shared.
Highlights include a Hawaiian Corner selection for two (sashimi, uramaki, gunkan, and nigiri), red snapper baked in banana leaf with coconut and lime sauce, or sucarat rice cooked in the Josper oven with meat, seafood, artichokes, and kimchi dip.
Themed cocktails—both spirited and alcohol-free—complete the experience, from Hibicoco (€15) and Rossini (€26) to Spicy Pineapple (€15.5) or the non-alcoholic The Guilty One (€12). A perfect excuse to linger by the ocean a little longer.
Vila Vita Spa by Sisley Paris: A Ritual for Two
Romance also finds its most serene expression at Vila Vita Spa by Sisley Paris. Designed exclusively for couples, this 90-minute experience (€310) invites two guests to unwind side by side with a full-body massage focused on deep relaxation and balance.
The journey concludes with a Tibetan bowl ritual, where soft sound vibrations promote clarity and inner calm. Available to both hotel guests and non-guests, the offer is valid through February 14 and has earned its place at the top—quite literally—as the Best Spa in Portugal at the World Spa Awards.
