Hilltop village-style resort among cork oaks and citrus groves, with spa, golf course and event space in the Algarve

Set among the green hills of the inland Algarve, this 5-star resort is built in the style of a traditional Portuguese village – white-walled buildings with terracotta roofs arranged around a central square. Loulé is ten minutes away, but the feel here is rural, unhurried and quietly impressive.

There are 151 rooms, suites and residences, some with kitchenettes, private heated pools or jacuzzis. Interiors are contemporary and considered, and many rooms offer stunning views across the meandering river valley.

The meeting and events facilities are substantial. A ballroom with peaked ceilings seats up to 244 theatre-style, with a large garden alongside for outdoor receptions. A dedicated meeting room holds up to 90, and two executive boardrooms suit smaller groups of 16 to 30.

Six restaurants and bars cover everything from all-day dining and Portuguese sharing plates to a market café, a pool bar and a rooftop wine bar. The range means groups aren't locked into a single setting

The spa includes eight treatment rooms, indoor and outdoor pools heated year-round – uncommon in this part of the Algarve – Finnish sauna, Turkish bath, salt steam room and a fitness centre.

Beyond wellness, there's a challenging 18-hole eco-certified golf course, plus cycling, hiking and kayaking. In summer, complimentary transfers run to a private beach concession on the coast.

Sustainability runs deep here. The resort is powered by solar and geothermal energy, built using bioclimatic architecture, and maintains 57 hectares of protected land and over 700 newly planted oak trees. For teams where ESG matters, the credentials are real.
