Viceroy at Ombria Algarve opened in late 2024, offering guests the opportunity to experience ‘the other side of the Algarve’, the creative heart of the region, just north of Loulé and a short 30-minute drive from Faro airport. The thoughtfully designed resort offers sweeping 360-degree views of the rugged Algarve hills and open plains, blending peaceful surroundings with a strong sense of place. Guests can choose from six restaurants and bars serving regional wines and locally inspired dishes, with ingredients sourced from the hotel’s own gardens and orchards or from local producers.

Culturally-led guest experiences include pottery workshops, farm and apiary tours, olive oil tastings, and vineyard visits. The spa, developed in partnership with wellness visionary Greg Payne opened in Spring 2025 and offers a holistic sanctuary complete with a thermal pool, eight treatment rooms, beauty services, and a state-of-the-art fi tness centre. Sustainability is at the heart of the resort’s philosophy, with initiatives such as a plant nursery, river habitat restoration, the planting of 700 oak trees, and the use of solar and geothermal energy, all reflected in the bioclimatic architecture.
