The main building features 65 newly renovated deluxe rooms, each designed with split-level living and sleeping areas, in addition to a large marble bathroom. The refined country house interior spills out onto a private balcony overlooking the resort’s expansive gardens – the perfect way to enjoy the Algarve’s year-round warm temperature.

Vila Vita Parc also provides an excellent babysitting service; children’s menus in most restaurants and a wide-range of interconnecting room options and family suites.
When to travel
The Algarve has a mild climate with more that 300 days of sunshine a year so it is an ideal short haul destination year round.
By May the climate will be warm and sunny but there will be some risk of rain showers and the evenings will be cool. June signals the advent of typically hot and sunny days with the evenings becoming balmy through to the end of summer. As the heat rises during the summer months, it is not uncommon to have a wind pick up off the Atlantic during the afternoons.
Location
The Vila Vita Resort is perched on the Praia das Gaivotas cliffs which are located just 5 minutes drive to the west of Armação de Pêra and 40 minutes (54km) from Faro Airport. Flights are also available to Lisbon and Seville, both of which are approximately 2.5-3 hours from the resort.
