An Interior Oasis

Unlike typical beach resorts, the Viceroy is situated in the Barrocal region, surrounded by rolling hills, fig and olive trees, and quaint villages that embody a traditional way of life. Cunha notes that the area is a cultural hub, offering a green escape from the tourist-heavy beach areas.

Architectural Elegance

The resort, designed by WATG and Promontorio, features limewashed buildings arranged like a classic hillside village. With 141 rooms, guests can enjoy a blend of modern luxury and traditional charm, complete with artisan touches and beautiful natural light.

Thoughtful Design

The interiors reflect local motifs, featuring Portuguese tiles and handcrafted rugs, creating a cozy atmosphere. Many rooms include large terraces and even plunge pools, enhancing the residential feel of the accommodations.

Year-Round Activities

This luxury retreat offers a variety of activities beyond summer beach fun. The 18-hole golf course is designed by Jorge Santana da Silva, integrating the natural landscape and earning prestigious ecolabel certifications.

Culinary Delights

The resort boasts six dining options overseen by Executive Chef Pedro Pinto, offering creative takes on local cuisine. Highlights include a unique twist on bolas de Berlim and a focus on local ingredients like Iberian pork and fresh seafood.

Wellness and Local Experiences

A holistic spa is set to open soon, but guests can currently engage with local artisans, learning traditional crafts and enjoying local produce. For beach lovers, the coast is only a short drive away, making the Viceroy at Ombria Algarve a perfect blend of luxury and local charm.
