Discover the exceptional hospitality of this amazing resort

Vila Vita Parc Crowned with Three MICHELIN Keys: an incredible accolade for one of the very best luxury resorts.
The Algarve continues to shine as a premier destination, and its jewel, Vila Vita Parc, has just received the ultimate endorsement for hospitality excellence. The prestigious Michelin Guide has awarded Vila Vita Parc its highest hotel distinction—three MICHELIN Keys—placing it among the most exceptional places to stay in Portugal.

This incredible achievement is another accolade for the iconic Algarve resort, which is home to Ocean, its acclaimed two-star Michelin restaurant, and a recipient of three Repsol Suns. This new recognition further solidifies Vila Vita Parc's status as a benchmark of culinary and hospitality excellence across the globe.

 
What are the MICHELIN Keys?
The MICHELIN Keys represent a brand-new international rating system, designed to highlight the most outstanding hotel experiences worldwide. In its inaugural selection for Portugal, only two properties received the coveted three keys. This top-tier recognition is reserved for "extraordinary places that significantly contribute to the local destination and offer an exceptional stay through character, service, and singular atmosphere".
 
Why Vila Vita Parc Stands Out
Since opening its doors over 30 years ago, Vila Vita Parc has stood as a benchmark of excellence in Portuguese hospitality. There's a Portuguese phrase that captures this spirit perfectly – a arte de bem receber – the art of graciously welcoming. Vila Vita Parc embodies this tradition, offering an experience defined by thoughtfulness, elegance, and genuine warmth.

The resort earned its three MICHELIN Keys for its seamless blend of refined luxury and authentic Portuguese charm. The lush and perfectly maintained gardens foster a sense of relaxation and tranquillity and the endless ocean draws all eyes to the horizon. Luxurious rooms, suites and villas await, the award-winning Spa by Sisley Paris soothes and restores, and the myriad of dining options reflects the Algarve’s rich cultural and gastronomic heritage.

The award celebrates not only Vila Vita Parc’s meticulous attention to detail and impeccable service, but also its deep commitment to delivering timeless hospitality.


 
A Testament to Excellence
Kurt Gillig, Managing Director of Vila Vita Parc, shared his delight regarding the prestigious award: "We are deeply honoured to receive three MICHELIN Keys," he states. "This recognition is a testament to our relentless pursuit of excellence and innovation in hospitality. At Vila Vita Parc, we are committed to continually pushing the boundaries of luxury and service, ensuring every guest experiences the very best that Algarve and the country has to offer. This award could not happen without our fantastic team and is an inspiration for us to keep raising the bar and to remain true to our passion for creating unforgettable moments.”
