What it is

A quietly luxurious hillside escape in the heart of Portugal’s Algarve, Viceroy at Ombria brings elevated design, eco-conscious living, and deep regional roots to a part of the country still delightfully under the radar.

What it isn't

It’s not your standard coastal Algarve resort. No beach umbrellas in sight—this is the wilder, more soulful side of the region, where nature, architecture, and culture exist in harmony.

What we think

Viceroy at Ombria Algarve is a masterclass in relaxed refinement. The resort blends traditional Portuguese textures with warm, contemporary interiors across 76 hotel rooms and 65 branded residences—many with private terraces or plunge pools. Dining is a highlight, with six venues led by local chefs who understand how to do elegance without ego. From pastries at Café Central to experimental Algarve cuisine at Solalua, everything feels grounded in place. There’s also a championship golf course, nature trails, and a soon-to-open spa that promises immersive wellness with an organic soul. The pace is slow, the service polished, and the setting—rolling hills, orange groves, birdsong—utterly serene.

You're here because

You want a luxe European resort that’s fresh, refined, and away from the crowds. Somewhere to unplug, recharge, and reconnect with what travel should feel like.

The Moment

A golden sunset, a glass of Alentejo red, and a horizon of olive trees as far as the eye can see—all from the quiet of your terrace.
