4 rooms, 9 suites, 2 Michelin Stars and an exceptional team. Vila Joya is thoughtfully embedded within the protected natural coastline of the Atlantic Ocean. Under Chef Dieter Koschina’s inspiration and guidance, Vila Joya was the first restaurant in Portugal to be awarded two Michelin stars. “House of Joy” or “Jewellery Box” in the original translation is home to beautiful gardens, breathtaking views, simple understated elegance and discreet luxury.

Rooms & Suites

Vila Joya has all the charm of a discreet, private villa. Every room & suite has its own unique view over the Atlantic Ocean. Bespoke interiors blend traditional and contemporary styles, furnished with the finest fabrics, subtle color palettes and details such as beautiful antiques or delightful maritime art, adding a classic, timeless look. Oh, and did we tell you about the breathtaking views? So, take your time to discover which detail would make you happy, perhaps it’s your own private Jacuzzi, a sun terrace, a small garden or a private pool. Or perhaps it’s a shower open to the starry night sky? The only thing you have to do today is decide.

Culinary at Vila Joya

Unrivaled in the world of fine dining is Vila Joya’s daily changing menu. Chef Dieter Koschina has held two Michelin stars at Vila Joya for over two decades. Serving a flavourful menu with beautifully presented dishes, Chef Koschina and his team have made Vila Joya one of the most highly-regarded and sought-after dining experiences in the Algarve. Or, for when you prefer a more casual environment, there’s the deluxe beach shack, the Vila Joya Sea. They serve seafood and modern Japanese-inspired cuisine — it’s the place to relax in laid-back luxe bohemian style with friends, family or simply by yourself. It’s also the perfect spot for lunch, a sundowner or dinner and it’s where guests go to sit, gaze and listen to the ocean.

The SPA

Whilst listening to the sounds of the ocean as it gently laps against the walls of the spa, you can allow any stress to dissipate with the massage therapist’s relaxing and detoxifying treatments. Breathe in the surrounds of architecture, interiors and fragrances that have been lovingly collected and curated from travels throughout the Orient. If you prefer more of a workout to work off stress, Vila Joya has a fully equipped gym and also offers private yoga sessions, wherever and whenever you like – from overlooking the ocean to under the stars. However, if all of that sounds far too vigorous, simply enjoy walking among the trees and flowers in the garden and then round the day off with a sauna, steam or a Jacuzzi and a good glass of wine.

In the Garden of (Almost) Forgotten Dreams

Nested above the hidden treasure of Praia da Galé on the iconic Algarve coastline, where cypress and palm trees sway in the wind and the flowers seem to bloom forever, is where you’ll find Vila Joya. The luscious lawns, fauna and flora subtly merge into the natural rolling landscape of limestone cliffs and mighty sand dunes. The Algarve is famous for its light and unique microclimate as well as some of the World’s best golf courses.
