VILA VITA Spa by Sisley Paris

VILA VITA Parc, one of the most prestigious clifftop resorts in the Algarve, has just upped its wellness game. Its new Spa by Sisley Paris is the first Sisley-branded spa in Portugal.

It signals the combination of a four-year effort to renovate the hotel to meet the latest standards of contemporary and relaxed luxury. These days, of course, wellness is built into all of our definitions of luxury. With the new Spa by Sisley Paris, VILA VITA Parc is right on the cutting edge.

The 17,250-square-foot spa is a sanctuary inspired by the region’s enchanting caves. The contemporary design includes natural stone and restful shades of green and blue that evoke the many hues of the Atlantic Ocean just beyond.

The 14 treatment cabins have the latest Gharieni treatment beds. Gharieni is a German company that is known for making some of the best spa equipment in the world. As guests relax into these beds, the spa therapists administer soothing and revitalizing face and body treatments with Sisley products.

As a brand, Sisley is known for combining an advanced scientific approach with pure natural ingredients, including plant extracts and essential oils that have been carefully selected for their biological healing properties.

Standouts among the services include the Golden Quartz Treatment, which combines warm healing crystals with the sound of singing bowls, and the Phyto-Aromatic Skin Perfecting Facial, which was designed to smooth expression lines and restore natural radiance to the skin.
