Moorish palace

A member of Leading Hotels of the Worlds, the Vila Vita Parc in Porches, Portugal is internationally acclaimed as one of the most beautiful resort hotels on the Algarve. Chic, five-star luxury is embedded into every detail, from the ornate mosaic floors and hand-painted walls to the grand archways - this is a modern, sumptuous Moorish palace.

The 22-hectare cliff-top position overlooks the Mediterranean and features manicured subtropical gardens, ornamental pools, rolling lawns, swimming pools, fountains, and a nine-hole golf course. It even boasts its very own stretch of pristine beach.

Accommodation is splendidly luxurious, and there are nine restaurants, including the authentic Portuguese “Adega” eatery and the Moorish-style “Aladdin Grill” with its beautiful stained-glass windows. Vila Vita Parc is also renowned for housing Portugal's finest private wine cellar, with carefully selected wines and vintages from around the world. For deep relaxation and pampering, an opulent spa - Vila Vita Vital - offers a comprehensive choice of either medical and beauty treatments, as well as saunas, steam baths and jacuzzis.

Wide range of activities

For the active, there are Astroturf tennis courts, a nine-hole pitch-and-putt golf course and state-of-the-art gym facilities at the health club with its indoor and outdoor pools, whirlpool baths and an orange-scented steam room. Aquatic enthusiasts can enjoy sailing, canoeing and windsurfing.

The Vila Vita Parc also bends over backwards to keep its younger guests smiling with an 18-hole crazy golf course, an oversized playground as well as football pitch. As for Annabella's Kids' Park, it's a cut above the usual holiday clubs with activities like baking, fashion modelling, mini-Olympics and magic shows.
