We stayed at Villa Joya at the end of our trip in the Algarve. What a treat!! Excellent location, service and scenery. Highly recommend it More

They say 'welcome to paradise' and they are not wrong. The only 2 star Michelin Restaurant in Portugal in this really incredible and unique boutique hotel perched on a cliff overlooking the Atlantic Ocean. Their Spa is also outstanding and the staff ratio is unbelievable. I am going back for their Gourmet Festival in January where they host over 20... More

I've had the privilege of staying at a few beachside resorts in my time, and Vila Joya has the double distinction of being the best and the first located in Europe. The service is impeccable, bearing a crazy ratio of staff to guests, and the food is dazzling -- it's not for nothing that the place earned the only two... More

Vila jóia is An experience. We Stayed there for the 3rd time . We were given a brand new suite that was astonishing. Most beautiful furniture and decoration, open bathroom in the bed room, balcony overdose the sea. Service is perfect as usual só is the food. We missed the always present butler wellcoming you To paradise but he retired.... More

Whilst large, the quality of the suite was really lacking and I would have been very upset had we been paying the appropriate room price. With a late arrival on the first night, we had booked the...

Stayed here for 2 nights after having had a rather indifferent stay at the Vilalara a few miles away... The Vilajoya is a real gem - ticked all our boxes.. The restaurant (2 Michelin stars) is extraordinary, some of the most inventive and exquisite food we've had anywhere, and on a teraace beautifully overlooking the plush grounds sloping down to...

We stayed here for just two nights for our 30th anniversary (I know, I know....). Anyway, we were greeted warmly but I'm not sure the room was ready because they were very insistent on the welcome drink on the terrace. The grounds were beautiful with a lovely view of the sea and a pool in a garden like surrounding. The... More

We fell in love with this place while staying there on a press trip a couple of years ago so decided to splash out and return for our honeymoon in August. I have to say, sadly, the experience was completely different the second time around. Throughout the stay we got the feeling we weren't actually welcome there and were treated... More
