Experience Luxury Redefined: The Grand Hotel Algarve Reopens with Stunning Renovations

A New Era for Vilalara

For nearly 60 years, Vilalara has been synonymous with luxury in the Algarve, now reopening under a fresh identity as the Vilalara Grand Hotel Algarve. Located on the picturesque Cova Redonda beach, this resort, previously known as Vilalara Thalassa Resort, has undergone significant renovations to enhance its offerings and experiences.

A Complete Transformation

The hotel has been reborn through a major redesign led by the Azora group, a Spanish firm specializing in hotel asset management. The goal is to reposition Vilalara as a premier destination in the luxury travel market, aligning with the highest standards of contemporary hospitality and wellness tourism.

Luxurious Accommodations and Dining

The renovations include updates to suites, common areas, and restaurants, including the introduction of Residences—luxury accommodations equipped with two to three bedrooms, a full kitchen, spacious living areas, and private terraces featuring handcrafted Portuguese furniture.

A culinary highlight is the debut of Vento, a restaurant focused on healthy cuisine, alongside the transformed Coral restaurant, a long-standing staple of the hotel.

Wellness Redefined

The hotel is also introducing a new approach to wellness, moving away from its previous emphasis on thalassotherapy. The Wellness Signature Program offers immersive experiences with thematic wellness paths and specialized therapies, designed to rejuvenate guests over stays of three to seven days.

Impressive Amenities

The resort boasts 131 accommodation units (including 111 suites and 20 residences), five restaurants, three outdoor pools, a heated indoor pool, a wellness spa, a gym, four tennis and padel courts, and a Kids Club.

Pricing Insights

Nightly rates range from approximately 400 to over 1000 euros, depending on the season and room type, with options catering to various group sizes.
