Hotels Spas Health Wedding Venues
If you're aiming high for your next Algarve experience, the Monchique Resort & Spa should be your target. The highest 5 star resort in the region, Monchique Resort & Spa delivers natural wellbeing and effortless luxury with altitude. Set amid the gentle hills of Monchique, the resort is a lush green oasis with stunning views down to the more crowded coastline. With a top class spa which uses local spring water, excellent restaurants on site and modern, spacious suites, the resort is the perfect hillside hideaway. Located in the Monchique hills, the resort is just 40 minutes drive from Faro airport and 20 minutes drive from some of the Algarve's most famous beaches.

While the coastline is sand and summer crowds, Monchique is fresh air, the sounds of nature and green filled views that sweep down to the ocean. The Monchique resort offers all the creature comforts the modern traveller could want, in a setting of timeless and rejuvenating natural beauty. The resort has 190 spacious suites, each with balcony or terrace, most with amazing views across the countryside. Natural light streams in through the panoramic windows, bringing the outside in, and helping guests reconnect with the green and gentle nature of Monchique.

There are several great restaurant options within the resort ranging from healthy and delicious breakfast buffets to the family friendly pizzaria and dinner buffet serving international cusine, as well as the resort's fine dining restaurant where local produce and fresh seafood are the stars. Under the direction of Chef Luis Batalha, Restaurant Mon Chic offers modern, mediterranean cuisine wtih local flavour. An accomplished artist in oils, the beauty and delicousness of the chef's dishes are prefectly complemented by the vast views from the restaurant terrace. 

The aptly named Sensorial Spa at Monchique Resort is quite unique. Local springs in the area, at Caldas de Monchique, provide water that has a ph of 9.5. The high alkaline profile is said to have many health and rejuvenating benefits (and locals have been getting their drinking water from the springs for years). At the Sensorial Spa, treatments include locally made Monchique Cosmetics products, so you benefit from the natural bounties of the spring water. Allied with luxury brand ESPA and with 8 treament rooms, a Himalayan salt wall sauna, an ice chamber, aroma grotto, hydro pool and more, the spa is an indulgent, replenishing retreat from urban living.

Should you wish for a change of pace from relaxing by the pool or being pampered at the Spa, there is a host of activities to entertain. Aside from the resort Fitness Gym and pools, you can join wellness classes such as Pilates, fit ball, zumba, stretching. There are numerous walking and cycling trails in the area to explore. Take time out to explore Caldas de Monchique or head to the highest point in the Algarve, Foia. If the beach is calling, the south coast is just a 20 minute drive way. Or, be adventureous and travel across the hills to the Costa Vicentina, the west coast, for some beach discoveries.
